I was googling some images and decided to share after compiling them! :) These are all relatively high-resolution images because I strongly dislike trying to admire detail from a small picture. :disapp: What are some of your favorite costumes of this quad?

PLEASE--ONLY COSTUMES FROM THE 2010-11 SEASON (post-Olympic season) TO NOW. (Yes, we pretty much all love Yuna's Olympic costumes, but there are definitely more costumes out there waiting to be admired!) Also, providing links to images are greatly appreciated, but not necessary!



And the ABSOLUTE best costume this quad:

There's loads more I love too, but it's hard to remember them all! Will keep adding.

Kostner's Mozart concerto is the absolute best for me!
In second place, I would put Anna Cappellini's red Carmen FD dress
In third, Wagner's Samson and Delilah
Other beautiful costumes: Wagner's Black Swan, Zhang's Rushing wings of dawn, Alissa Czisny Valse Triste first version (the second one could actually be in the "worst costumes" list!) and Winston FS, Mao's swaon first version...

Ooh! Yes! I think they wear it so well--but it's mainly because they have so much speed across the ice and carry a sort of lightness that is befitting of the ballet!

Yes definitely, I love it!

@FSGMT - I agree, I prefered Alissa's original 'Valse Triste' dress a lot more.

Others I've liked are:

Weaver & Poje's 'The Sound of Music' as it's just so simple and pretty, and Kaityln's blue dress is just gorgeous!

Like Abbott's 'Sing, sing, sing' too as it was so simple but the suspenders worked wonders within the program.

I actually really like this one of Artur Gachinski's - 2011-2012 SP "St Louis Blues" http://25.media.tumblr.com/d5153d039a09b0b7e6088ecaa016f4a5/tumblr_mez51pXYwM1rwy7wio2_500.jpg

But an interesting one in terms of good costume turned bad...Jason Brown said before the season started that they were trying to present him with a more mature image this year. I thought his original "Liebestraume" costume managed to make him look older http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9f024Krnu1rsf7s9o1_1280.jpg....until the blue velvet pants arrived http://25.media.tumblr.com/3a7205d78040cbc5a911e4238dbc1452/tumblr_mhc0gnHEQ01rvnsz0o1_1280.jpg.

Anna Cappellini is my dress bias so I'll start with her:

From the 2009-2010 Short Dance
From the 2012-2013 Free Dance
From the 2012-2013 Exhibition Dance *she actually wore this for a CD or OD in the last quad but I'm including it anyway since she's wearing it again recently for their Beyonce exhibition.

Madison Chock 2011-2012 Free Dance

Mao Asada 2011-2012 LP: Dress #1 and Dress #2 *the purple reminds me of Mishkutienok and Dmitriev (as does the music)

Mirai Nagasu 2010-2011 LP: Front and Back

Tessa Virtue 2011-2012 Short Dance: View #1 and View #2 and View #3

Alissa Czisny's original LP dress (the blue/purple one) from the 2011-2012 season. She used it at SA, TEB, and the GPF.

Mao's dress for her Jupiter exhibition program

Carolina's dress for her "Bolero" LP

The designs of both are simple yet very elegant.

I like so many costumes, but I think the best prizes go to Caro last two seasons, Akiko, this past season, Ashley Wagner is always on the best dressed list, and Gracie gold is eyepopping in any thing, esp this years red dress for her Sp Hernando's hideaway. She is just majestic. Mao is always delightful. Special mention for appropriate was YuNa's dress in Les Mis. Tough to look glam and poor at same time-glam won out. I like the shape on Yuna who is so thin, it filled her out. I disliked her Sp costume though, and I never felt she got her costumes perfect until Vancouver when they were just about perfection.

I think Korpi is so annoyingly beautiful and I love her dresses. I wish Vera Wang would design something for Ashley. It'd be nice to see what she'd come up with for one of the top ladies, or have I missed something?

Agree with you on Yu Na's Les Mis dress. The tones are subtle yet up close one can really see texture and attention to details which are both appropriate (for the music/theme) and flattering.

:laugh: It's so true! When aftertherain, britebells and gmyers mentioned Kiira, my first thought was 'oh, this girl is just gorgeous whatever costumes she is to wear! she can do some justice, say, even to a dustcloth-like dress'. ;)
Same goes for Tessa Vitue and Elena Ilinykh! I :love: Elena's Don Quixote dress.
