Wow, this figure skating dress is absolutely stunning! The black to red gradient effect is so dramatic and professional-looking, and the high neck design gives it such an elegant silhouette. This comes from Garnet Figure Skating Factory who have been making performance wear for 16 years, so they really know their stuff. The fabric is high-quality spandex with 98% elasticity that moves with the skater without restricting those difficult jumps and spins. What's really impressive is the hand-beading - they actually glue each rhinestone on individually, and the default is 8-24 stones depending on the design. The skirt has this beautiful flowy chiffon overlay that creates such graceful movement on the ice. I've seen this dress in person at competitions and the colors are even more vibrant than in photos. It's available in 10 different sizes with custom sizing possible, and the medium fits most average-sized girls perfectly. The care is important though - hand washing is definitely recommended to protect all that detailed beadwork. Whether your skater is competing or performing, this dress makes them look and feel like a champion. The quality is seriously professional level but at a much more affordable price than custom-made competition dresses. Definitely a show-stopper on the ice!
