FAQ's

Can I order a figure skating dress I see in the Custom Dress galleries?

No. The figure skating dresses in the Custom Dress galleries were made for specific clients, some of whom are still wearing the dresses. I promise all my clients that I won't duplicate the exact same skating dress. However, a version of a skating dress can be made for clients at distances apart from each other. On occasion a very similar skating dress can be made for a client in a different country who is not competing internationally.

You can contact me either by phone or email. I make every effort to return emails within 24 hours. If you don't hear from me it is quite possible that the e-mail did not reach me for some reason. It is always best to call if you don't hear back from me after 24 hours. For specific details on how to order a custom new or used skating dress please visit our "Placing An Order" page.

Is it possible to get a custom skating dress for under $200?

No. Custom figure skating dresses like anything that is custom made requires customized work that cannot be created with the cost saving attributes of an assembly line type manufacturing. However, with a custom designed skating dress you won't see two of the same skating dress at a competition. For Off-the-Rack dresses under $200 please visit our Competition Dresses and Main Street Dancewear pages to see our new line of Off-the-Rack skating dresses; both un-beaded and lightly beaded.

Can I bead the skating dress to save money?

No, not on custom made dresses. I do not allow clients to bead any competition skating dresses that I provide. This is a quality control issue as Figure Skatewear^® does not want the quality of their work designing and producing custom made skating dresses to be judged based on someone else's beading.

How long does it take to get my competition skating dress?

I always put competition skating dresses as first priority and testing skating dresses second. Practice skating dresses are made as time allows. Once a due date is determined, I never miss a deadline. Please note that dresses that are needed in less then 4 weeks require a rush fee.

Do you have a catalog?

Not at the present time. Most everything at Figure Skatewear^® is custom made to order. However, I do run specials and put together a gift catalog at the Holiday's. In addition, used skating dresses are available in online eBay store.
