Dancing with the Stars Dresses
From LoveToKnow Dance
It's no question that the Dancing with the Stars dresses make quite a splash. These gowns are essentially for ballroom dancing; however, the dresses worn on the show by the dancers are more than just your average ballroom gowns. Only the most glamorous and the sexiest of a selection of ballroom gowns are eligible to be worn on the hit American television show Dancing with the Stars.
Ballroom Dancing and Dresses
Even if you don't know all the ballroom dance steps by name, if you enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars, you probably also think the dresses worn by the dancers are beautiful or impressive. If you are a ballroom dancer yourself, or just thinking about starting to learn this dance style, you'll want to have at least one very fancy, very flashy, ballroom gown. Even if you only wear it once, you will have the best night of your social dancing career just because you will feel so special in your beautiful gown.
Dresses Made for the Show
The company that makes the dresses worn by the dancers on Dancing with the Stars is Randall Designs; they have made the dresses since Season two, and in 2006 won an Emmy Award for their costuming work. The company does offer select gowns and clothing for sale on their website; however, the gowns start at $3,000, so be forewarned of the pricing before visiting their site. In addition, at Randall Designs Online you can also buy dance separates that are ready to wear as soon as they arrive in the mail. While these are very affordable in price, they do offer a special look that is perfect for social dancing, and you'll fit in just fine with the other dancers in your class or group.
Buying Dancing with the Stars Dresses
Because these ballroom gowns, with their sexy flair and their catchy glitter, are so popular (and the actual ones from Randall Designs are so expensive), there are several companies that are selling exactly the type of gown that is worn on the television show. While it may seem that if the dresses are readily available to be purchased on the market that their popularity would go way down, this does not seem to be the case. These dresses are appealing to men and women alike.
Chelsea's of New York offers a group of celebrity gowns that look very much like some of the Dancing with the Stars dresses. What is even better than their selection of daring dance gowns is the prices that go with them. While the gowns of this style and type are usually quite expensive, Chelsea's of New York offers gowns in the price range of $100 to $150.
Ballroom Sparkle is an entirely different sort of company that offers dresses in the styles worn on Dancing with the Stars. While these dresses can be quite expensive, what this company does is allow you to choose a specific style of dress and color of fabric, and they make a custom gown for you. Since everything is done through the Internet and by mail, you'll have to measure yourself or have another tailor do it for you.
If you've been learning ballroom dancing and are looking for the perfect clothing to wear when you go out to practice your steps, one of these gowns may be a nice item to splurge on. Don't forget that a fancy ballroom gown deserves an even fancier pair of heels!
