@hydrolito Well the materilal itself is expensive as it is a special nylon cotton spandex mix that often has a liner inside and elastic added, the designer name on it ( status is everything in skating) the time to make it,etc, of course it is way overpriced, but people are willing to pay. I say use an off the rack dress from Kohls...
@metsdudenj This particular dress might have expensive material but lacks beading and sequins so why does it cost $1000, a tailor and material shouldn't be that much, better have mom's go back to learning how to operate a sewing machine and patterns. My wife had her wedding dress made by friends and cost of their labor, materials, and pattern was $80, how come they charge so much for these and wedding dresses in stores? Are designers getting rich?
@hydrolito Designer dress, the materials, beading and sequins, the made to order inside which is measured to the body, and the time to sew it. Nicole Bobek wore dresses that were close to $3000 a piece. Kerrigan wore even more expensive ones.
I really loved her performance but she looks like she's wearing a practice dress. I don't know it's just something i couldn't get out of my head while i was watching her...
She slipped on the takeoff of the lutz. Almost didn't make the rotation, but her tight rotation helped her make the combination. Her layback is the best!

I agree that this program in general was her best short program, not nec this performance of it. Have you seen her 2002 nationals sp?
