Where should I get my figure skating dress? How much are they?

I'm a figure skater and have just now decided to get a skate dress, because I haven't figure skated for long. Where do you think I should get my skate dress at? About how much are most dresses? What qualities should I look for in a figure skating dress?





Thanks!


-SiSi|||Here is a great website that sells dresses: http://www.jumpnstyleskatewear.com/Home/鈥?/a>


The lady there makes all the dresses herself and they are great.


Most dresses are pretty expensive and are usually around 100 dollars for a decent dress.


If you are just getting a practice dress, then you should look for something simple and comfortabe. If you are looking for a performance or competition dress, then you should look for something that looks nice, and has sparkles or glitter on it.


Good Luck! :-)|||www.discountskatewear.com|||You should check out Kinzie's Closet. They have a great selection of dresses and other ice skating apparel.





http://www.kinziescloset.com|||I understand how you feel. It is so hard to find skating dresses! Most dresses are about 50-1000 bucks! In dresses you are looking for good quality and lots of sparkles! You can never have enough! And you can find some amazing deals!


The best places to find dresses are...





Ebay- Sweet deals, but always check that the dress will fit you! There are fitting charts.


Del Arbor- Nice Pratice Dresses! Also good accessories.


Skating Moms- Some Skating Moms at rinks learn to make dresses for the daughters. You can ask them to make you one and pay them for a pretty good price.


Twizzle!- Love this place! Highly reccomend. They have OK prices, but pretty dresses.


Jerry's- Pretty Dresses + Accessories.


n'Ice Fashions- A few of their dresses are good for show skates and good prices.


Satin Spirals- One of my personal Favorites. OK prices, but its well worth it! Perfect show skate dresses!


Sharene- Very Beautful Dresses but they are very expensive. I would only use them for important competions.





Hope this Helps!


Texan_ice|||There are different places to get figure skating dresses, but it depends on what you want it for. If you just want a dress to skate in at the rink for practice, consider going the skate skirt route. They're cute, you can accessorize them and they're not that expensive.





Reserve the dresses for testing and competitions. Even practice dresses can get expensive and you can get a couple of skirts for the price of a dress. Jerry's and Twizzle have a great selection of skirts. Great place to go that has great prices is Kinzie's Closet. They carry both brands.





When you're ready to purchase a dress for a competition, consider your music and which dress will go better with it.|||ebay, its the cheapest|||There are two different types of dresses. Practice dresses, and Compettiton dresses. Practice dresses are what you wear around the rink at a pracitce. Compettition are like what you would wear to a competition. Practice dresses range from $45.00-85.00


Don't pay more than $85.00 for a practice dress. Compettion are anywhere from $85.00 to $200.00. When you are looking at quality, I would say long sleeves are really nice. Velvet and Spandex are really comfortable to skate in. For a more affordable expierence take a look at a local dane or gymnastics store and see if you can find a leotard. You can buy cheaper figure skating skirts to put on top of this. These are about 50.00 most of the time.

Good Luck!|||Hi, SiSi!


I am a designer for Figure Skating Dresses. I sew dresses for practice, tests, and competitions. The price is usually decided by design and how the dress was decorated and the size of the dress. My dresses usually cost from $70.


If you are interested in my E-mail, Reply me please. I will send you couple of pictures of dresses with the price. Or you can E-mail me and tell me what kind of dress you want, and i will send you couple of drawings. You will pick one of them. And if you like it, i will make you a dress. About the price we'll see.


Sincerely,


Katya-Julia.
