Now's the moment for my heart to break, the beautiful costumes of my beloved can't be nominated because it's seniors only :sad4: Oh well, only five nominees anyway, I would've had to cut my list short nonetheless. Here goes:

1. Lim Eunsoo, SP - Somewhere in Time (that ethereal dress is worth awarding twice :agree2:) https://twitter.com/with_jandi/status/1230474887141019648/photo/3
2. Kim Yelim, SP (It's a thousand times better live I can't stress this enough) https://twitter.com/graywhite_/status/1244122597735841793/photo/3
3. To Jihun, FS (she did half-and-half so it should count) https://twitter.com/Jinsk77/status/1206943120824422406/photo/1
4. Kim Yelim, FS (Yelim's dresses are as lovely as herself) https://twitter.com/graywhite_/status/1244265417159262208/photo/4
5. You Young, FS (blue Evita turned out to be quite delightful) https://twitter.com/zzero_hj/status/1231949348495192066/photo/4

Okay, not the greatest year (apart from the Korean girls who again showed the field up, where do they find those designers???) A fair old bit of immaturity (well, duh! They are mostly teenagers, but that's beside the point) and busybusybusybusiness prevailing. But what was good was very very good.

1. Satoko Miyahara, SP - out-dazzled everyone else in sight with that body suit and the glorious heavily jewelled collar.
2. Eunsoo Lim, FS - very few skaters can do understated elegance well, and even less can channel the Immortal Hepburn's style. Utter class.
3. Kim Yelim, SP - another glorious collar, and the dress is fabulous too, just the right amount of glitz.
4 and 5. Kaori Sakamoto, SP and FS - can't choose, both of them are fun, sexy and gorgeous

My top 5:
Eun-soo Lim SP (the blue one for Capriccio Espagnol)
Satoko Miyahara SP
Evgenia Medvedeva FP (never undertood the fuss about it, the costume is truly lovely IMO)
Anna Shcherbakova FP (saw it in person at her seasonal debut, the transition between red and blue is really striking)
Yelim Kim SP (an original dress for the music theme, quite liked it)

Honorable mentions to Alina Zagitova's FP dress, the beading is amazing!, Tina Trusova's adorable costumes :) and the Korean ladies' designer(s).

Lord no, KSU deserves zero credit, it's just our dressmakers doing great jobs.

Rule of thumb in Korean figure skating: KSU does no good. Period.
