It seems there was much consensus in the iconic dress thread. Obviously those with long carriers have a better shot. I think we should award the podium and a pewter medal to those nominees who get mentioned the most should the thread have a decent numerical response.
These are my nominees for best dressed ladies and they don't include the olden days because skating dresses were simple and athletic looking. But you might count the pro years. Examples would be Kristi or Peggy or Dorothy as pro skaters with many costumes over the years. I'm thinking primarily of the dresses from the eligible careers.
These are my nominees in no particular orderother than maybe chronological
The eighties? Um gee. I liked Debi Thomas'q gear way better than Kat and Roz was very plain.
So Debbie.
Jill Trenary - stunning
Nancy Kerrigan was stunning and classy. I can't think of one hideous dress.
Michelle Kwan - the character dresses were great and the rest were pretty timeless. Vera did so much for Nancy and Kwan
Nicole Bobek. I loved her dresses. She was stunning pure and simple.
Tonya Kwiatkowski had Carol Heiss Jenkins making her look very, a very sophisticated.
Jenny Kirk- under appreciated in every way
Sasha Cohen- interesting and often unique
Mao Asada- seldom made a bad choice
Akiko Suzuki- glitzy but I loved her costumes
Kira Korpi- absolutely stunning modern and always different- no one in Europe was in her league imho
I wish I could nominate a Russian girl- maybe Maria B but there were some I wasn't crazy for. Still she really thought about her dresses as a mature skater.
Gracie Gold. No one does elegant Princess like Gracie.
Joannie Rochette as a pro has captured my eye.
Peggy Fleming in her Bob Mackie Years.
Roz Sumners SOI years
Katia as a single pro always stunning
Who else?
Do you have your podium already? I have my Gold for sure!
