You be the Judge on Dancing With the Stars Costumes! By Satin Stitches on 2008-04-09 21:28:32 As I have stated before, I LOVE watching "Dancing With the Stars!" I have been on vacation this last week, seeing the sights in Montreal, Halifax and Quebec in our northern neighbor, Canada, with my husband. I was delighted to be able to catch this week's episode, and thankfully not in French, as I do enjoy the judges and hosts comments. I wrote most of this blog last week. My observations can be applied to any of the episodes. Glitz galore! It is so much fun to see how the professionals costume the amateurs, along with their partners, on each new week of "Dancing With the Stars." The costume shop for this television show has only one week to conceptualize and then create all the costumes for the dancers. Last week, there were ten couples, which means that twenty costumes were needed. Additionally, I understand that the wardrobe is also found or made for all the judges and hosts and any guest performers that may need them. All these rhinestones, feathers and spandex EVERY WEEK! We have deadlines nearly every week at Satin Stitches, but they are not all seen by millions on national television. I love that the costume designers tailor each costume to the stars personality or style, for many different looks during the approximately 60 to 90 minutes of the show. I also love that the designers have the challenge of working with all different body types and shapes, not just the cliche dancer's body. Anyone can design for the Posh Spice of the world. It takes much more talent to design costumes that flatter less-than-perfect bodies. But, do I like all of the designs? No. Read more at http://blog.danceruniverse.com/blog/story/2008/4/9/212832/2426
