Competition costumes made in Doncaster
Bespoke figure-skating dresses, made to move.
Competition dresses created around the skater, programme and performance, combining freedom of movement, confident fit and considered hand-finished detail.
Performance dressmaking
Technical performance. Individual expression.
A figure-skating dress must do more than look beautiful. It must move securely, support the skater and carry the choreography from every angle. We combine garment-construction expertise with a specialist understanding of performance fit and hand-finished detail.
Programme-led design
Designed around the performance
The consultation considers the skater, programme, music, competition date, movement and fit. Construction and embellishment are planned around the agreed design and practical requirements.
Competition timelines
Plan ahead
Bespoke skating costumes require consultation, measurements, material sourcing and fitting time. Enquire as early as possible with the required competition date.
Useful to know
Frequently asked questions
What should I include in my enquiry?
The skater's age, programme or music, required date, design direction and fitting availability are useful starting points.
Do you make dresses for both practice and competition?
Yes. A commission can be developed around the skater’s programme, performance requirements, competition level and intended use.
Can you design around a particular piece of music or theme?
Yes. Music, choreography, colours and programme references can help guide the silhouette, movement and decorative details.
How do you ensure the dress allows movement?
The design considers stretch, fit and freedom of movement. Fittings help us assess how the garment sits and performs on the skater.
Can you add crystals and other embellishments?
Yes. Embellishment can be included within the agreed design and budget. The quantity, placement and materials will be confirmed before work begins.
Does the skater need to attend fittings?
Yes, accurate fittings are important for comfort, proportion and performance. The number required depends on the design and complexity.
Can you make coordinating accessories?
Potentially. Coordinating pieces can be discussed during the consultation and included within the quotation where practical.
How early should we book a competition dress?
Please enquire as early as possible, especially before busy competition periods. Include the competition date so we can confirm whether the required timescale is achievable.
