Not sure if Ruslena already went. I did see B/S, they looked good. Not 100% sure who this team is skating now lol.

Haven´t watched it yet but their group on VK posted it They seem to be wearing their FD costumes.

Edit: apparently this is from yesterday!

The pattern seems to fly from what little I can see though.

Short dance costumes? It looks very classy but I was maybe hoping for something a little more wild!

Meee too... that looks honestly too classy IMO for the rock you section in particular.... ah well, will have to watch and see how it is. There is always hope for a change later in the season!

Ooooh a suit for Ruslan? Could be nice... but I agree, it does seem a little on the safe side! Although it could look very nice in the program, so we'll have to wait and see

That's the beauty of it The impression they're going for, I think, is classy, but youthful, with only a slight edge, enough to make it interesting, unusual.

Ruslan is going to school dance? Too bad we can't see how long Lena's dress is, I hope it's 'mini'

But I wanted leather!!! In all seriousness though I am willing to watch and see how it is in competition...my opinion might change like I said above The 'problem' for me though is that while they do look classy and youthful there isn't really anything I can see in those pics that DOES make it interesting or unusual. Will wait for the program though and give a final verdict then

 

[uhh]

Anyway, remember last year we had 4 different dresses for the FD, 2 changes for Ruslan in both programs and in 2013/14 she wore 4 different dresses as well, some just for practice, so I wouldn't put any bets on these being the only costumes. It might even just be a practice dress!

I'm hoping that will come when we see the dance itself

 

[bramweld]

Yup, feeling that as well. Meaning this SD dress could be for practice.
