amethyst73The skating dress showed up last night! Of course, nothing would do but to try it on basically then and there, and have Huz take photos of it:

Except for the bit of decoration with stretch velvet (pretty much impossible to see in these), the dress is a polyester/spandex blend, and surprisingly heavy - I bet it weighs 3-4 pounds! Apart from my back, which is likely to freeze, it should keep me pretty warm. It's also kind of a shiny black, and because of that I don't really need to do anything to it to dress it up. The skirt is quite long, but I like it that length. It's serged down at the bottom, so I couldn't really shorten it anyway (again, not that I want to).
Anyway. It's here, in plenty of time for the competition, and it fits, and I like it!
Competition details for those who are interested:
Date: Saturday, October 10
Place: Nazareth Ice Oasis, 3140 Bay Road, Redwood City, California 94063
Time: The competition starts at 4; our warm-up time is 4:08 PM. (Almost everyone else who does ice dance in the Bay Area will be down at the yearly dance seminar which takes place the same weekend. There's a total of four couples competing in dance, and we're the only ones in our category.) The competition is scheduled to go till 7:30 or so.
