I love so many of the dresses listed above! It's clearly impossible to pick just one (or ten). But such good food for thought (or procrastination). Here are some of my other favorites from single ladies in the last few years. I tried to avoid repeats

-Sasha's Angels in America, another angle
-Sasha's Moonlight Sonata

-Alissa's Winter into Spring
-Alissa's La Vie en Rose... Which is listed above but I can't help myself!

-Mao's feathery Swan Lake
-Mao's I Got Rhythm

-Carolina's Mozart

-Ashley's Black Swan
-Ashley's Red Violin
-Ashley's original S&D

And finally, the best dressed Russian lady IMO
-Maria's Pina
-Maria's Winter
-Maria's Moon River/Funny Face... Which I could only find in video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVFmxQd9T_8

Here is a beautiful shot of Mao Asada's "Liebestraum" dress. Lilac beaded and its soft and light and glow it gave Mao on the program.

That dress is so beautiful. And watching her in it while she performed at Nationals & 4CC was breathtaking.


And I love this version of the Swan Lake outfit: http://www.goldenskate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2012nhk_ladies_lp.jpg

 

[MK's Winter]

I thrilled someone remembered how beautiful Nicole's costume's were. I also loved her 1995 SP and LP costumes at Worlds.

That girl could never go wrong when it came to costumes. She always looked stunning!

I am a bit old school but I love Kristi's 1992 Olympic long dress.

I watched a fancam of her first time appear on ice, when she take off her coat then everyone see this dress for the first time, they all screamed through the camera: my fck god, how beautiful it is!!! :shocked:

And to remember someone even claimed it's a forgettable dress, oh my

Much can be said about Miki Ando's costume choices, but I thought her SP dress for "Mission" at 2011 Worlds was breathtaking and one of my all time favorites. I think Akiko was always very well dressed. I love Mao's 2013-2014 dresses and Yuna's Vancouver dresses. I actually like most of Mao's and Yuna's dresses. Ashley is always very well dressed and Kiira as well.

Yeah, that dress really made me pause out of sheer excitement.

Kim Yuna Kiss of the Vampire was breath-taking. I wasn't a particular fan of the music, but geez, her dress... I honestly think that the Nessun Dorma costume is a throwback at the Miss Saigon and Kiss of the Vampire dress.

Does anyone have a clear photo of the front neckline? I'm trying to make a shirt out it

Definitely my favorite of her two dresses Yes, the ND neckline is pretty much the same, but even if it just had the gold around the front of her neck & a more 'plain' back of solid red, I would love it just the same.

And it doesn't look too costume-y. Like someone can just modify it a little bit and it can be an evening dress. I was surprised when they even used it for a watch ad. She looks amazing.

I gotta put my hats off and hands down to the designer of Mao's Liebestraum. My sister who is currently taking up fashion design spoke about the lilac dress being just as exquisite as it is detailed but is very light and not overpowering and Mao has broad shoulders complementing the dress. A master class costume indeed!

 

[desertskates]

Thought my favorite single dress belong to Alissa Czisny, I'd consider Akiko Suzuki to be the overall best dressed lady. Everything she wore was so lovely. I miss seeing her in competitions.

I love all of Yuna's dresses. My personal favorites are:

- Danse Macabre - I also made some fanart of this particular costume
- James Bond -
- Gershwin
- Meditation de Thais
- Kiss of the Vampire -
- Send in the Clowns -
- Nessun Dorma


I also love Mao's Sochi dresses. SP , LP

And Kaetlyn Osmond's Sochi free skate dress (front and back) The beading on the back is beautiful.

The top dresses are Mao, Kim, Kwan, Carolina and Ashley.
