Open Back Ice Skating Costume with Rhinestoned Belt and Sponge-Painted Details

This video features an ice skating costume with sponge-painted details, an asymmetrical skirt and an open back with no mesh.

I met Stephanie at the 2019 Adult National Figure Skating Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is an experienced competitor who has been figure skating for nine years. Her white and gray dress was custom made by her coach’s wife Christi Sturgeon of the Utah Figure Skating Club. Contact her at: http://www.utahfigureskatingclub.com/...

When deciding what design she wanted Christi to make, Stephanie knew she wanted a dress that would go with her music, which is about meeting her daughter in heaven. She wanted a dress that felt “like clouds and heaven.”

The result is this elegant ice skating dress with a wide open back. Stephanie wore it during her recent Adult Nationals competition and won first place.

For me, the most important feature on Stephanie’s dress is the open back with no mesh. This style back can look sexy or elegant depending on the dress design and chosen music.

Open-back dresses require proper seaming and fitting. In a previous blog post, I interviewed another skater at Adult Nationals who wore a lovely, well-made dress.
