Skate dresses in RDU or Charlotte NC area
« on: March 23, 2018, 11:19:09 PM »
I have a female friend competing in the NC State Games and she is looking for somewhere that sells skate dresses so she could look at/try on different dresses. This is her first competition so she isn't quite sure what she wants.

Does anyone know of a rink/store in the Raleigh Durham or Charlotte area that stocks skate dresses.

She is petite, about 100 lbs and 5'2" or so.

If you want, message me rather than post here if you wish.

Thanks.

Almost every club has had/is about to have a used skate and clothing sale, so check Carolinas FSC or FSC of Charlotte - I think theirs is coming up soon.

We have racks full of dresses at our rink, left over from our sale earlier this month. I can give you/her the contact info privately if she's interested.

There are two women who make custom dresses in the Triangle area for a reasonable price, especially if she blings her own.

Other than that, SKS Sports is the best option for trying on new dresses.  They sometimes have adult-sized dresses, so she could call the store to check before she goes.
