LOL...or "Arabian Princess" from one of those generic Halloween costume magazines. Shizuka is too pretty for something so busy. I prefer her in something a bit more simple. But, I have a feeling she will not keep this dress.

when i saw that costume, i thought of this...
strawberry cake
but I guess those who say she looks like costume are right...
and here I was thinking that even though Tarasova has had questionable choices for men's costumes, her women's costumes were always beautiful...

I'm disappointed - I thought the costume would be bad in a super voidy way, but instead it looks like she stole AP's costume before McDonough's mom finished adding on 5 million trillion sequins.
That being said, it's hardly the worst costume I've ever seen

I don't know which costume is worse...that one, or this one (I like both skaters' skating, btw)

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if she'd lose the sleeves.

Okay, I realize that I'm in the minority here--actually, it looks like I'm at a party of one--but I don't think it's nearly as hideous as her techno swan outfit. 
I think it fits the R&J theme.
FYI, I showed it to Mr. RG, who considers SA his second favorite skater (Sasha being #1) and he said, "She's beautiful no matter what she wears, and I think it's appropriate for 'Romeo and Juliet.' "
He also pointed out that there are a few Russian male skaters who've worn similar costumes--with THAT he'd have a problem!

Costume advice....
I am now imagining myself interviewing SA after World's last year.....
Me: SA, you had a beautiful skate, but why was there something less than "coverage" on the backside of your costume?
SA: Someone told me "less is more" when it comes to costumes and my lovely skating style.
Me: So what drove your decision to dramatically change your costume this year?
SA: Someone told me after World's last year that in some cases, "less is NOT more!"
Me: We may have a language barrier. Go with MORE on the bottom and LESS of the sequins, fluff and armbands on the rest of the costume.
