Ok, so as I mentioned in my “Once a 90’s Skater” post, digging out some old costumes ended up being a source of inspiration for me.
Among them was this competition dress:
I remember making it – I think I was about 14 at the time, but I don’t remember what I used it for!
It wasn’t for any of my programs, so I’m guessing I did a dance test in it or something? That stretch chiffon underskirt definitely makes me think it was dance-related.
Anyway,
It had been loosely inspired by a dress that Kitty Carruthers wore in a pairs routine at some point… but I can’t remember the music used. Memories are weird.
That was when sequins were a big thing, and crystals … weren’t really used as much.
Anyway, I decided to make an updated version as a sample/ display dress recently, so figured I’d share:
Love it!
