So this is what I got:  http://www.usicewear.com/images/products/8357ep.jpg  I don't look as good in it as the model (who's actually my coach's daughter!), but it's pretty good on me.

Mine is blue, not black; it's a really good color on me. ("Sapphire blue," though I would have called it royal blue.  She had something else in what she called royal that was a bit lighter.)  It needs stoning, and I'll probably do something similar to what's pictured; I don't want to go overboard with it.  I'll be searching the forum archives for advice!  I know there are some threads out there that talk about the process.  My coach is also going to help.

She also included a free pair of tights; apparently she makes them with a knit waistband instead of elastic, so it doesn't dig in around the waist.  Which is good, because the Mondor tights I got are trying to bisect me!

Nice find!  That's a very pretty dress, and I'm excited to see what you do with stoning (you need to post pix when you're finished).

Classic and very pretty with a unique back - and royal blue is one of my favorite skate dress colors. I'm going to have to check out those tights, dd can't stand the way the elastic digs at her.

That is so pretty, and I agree with previous poster that a royal or sapphire blue looks wonderful on the ice.  Hurray for new dresses!  Have fun with the stoning.

Stoning in progress!  I've done the back pretty much identically to the picture above.  I still need to do the neckline, and my coach wants me to do a bit around the bottom of the skirt.  It's two layers, and the bottom layer is a little longer.  So if I just do a row (not too densely packed!) around the edge of each layer that should look nice.
