This isnt a best dressed costume award thread.
What is your favorite dress or costume by a skater or team that was widely panned /disliked or a complete trainwreck that you actually like in some way? Maybe there's too much going on or too over the top but you did enjoy it.
Tell us who and provide a link to a photo or video.
Mine is easy because after 15 years I still think of it.
Shizuka Arakawa - Swan Lake. Or as I have called it over the years "Techo Swan."
Most people said they quite disliked this costume or that it was even tacky. I loved it from day one. She used it for a few seasons around 2003-2005, At first I really liked the program because she used a very different version of a warhorse that I loved. But after all this time I think it sticks in my mind because of the costume. Those straps and buckles not to mention feathers too. There were even 2 sets of straps/buckles on each arm too. When she used it later as a pro she got rid of the arms. LOL I always wondered if it was uncomfortable to skate in.
Over the seasons this dress had a few reincarnations but this was my favorite (without the arms).
