skating outfit for long torsos?

I still haven't worn my purple dress with my routine yet as things unexpectedly came up that prevented me from doing the show in August. I will wear it when I compete in Delaware next month.

I may adapt my routine for a Christmas show with different music. What do you all think about getting a custom made dress like this one I mocked up on the Sporture site? I don't want to wear red and green.

The horizontal line where the color and fabric change, is that line above the bust, at the center of the bust, or below the bust ? The picture does not clearly show where that style feature is in relation to the bust.

I think on me it will be mostly above the bust. Why?

Here's a variation where the gold and pattern should come over my bust line.

Thanks to comments above, I found this customizing tool from Sixo, and have made about 35 variations of things I could like.

Ooh, this was fun - thanks for the link!  (We won't discuss how much of my morning I just wasted there  )

I use the Sixo Skatewear site to design dresses for my dressmaker to make; I simply take a screen capture of what I come up with, and e-mail it to her ... better than my lousy sketching and colouring ...

And if you don't mind using a dance site, there;s On Stage Dance and their custom wear.

Thanks. I like that site, too!

I've just ordered my dress from Sporture. Even though I opted for all custom measurements as well as design, I had to e-mail them to ask for a slightly longer skirt.

They wrote back to me in 10 minutes saying it is no problem and my design for the dress will be great. Also, they are hoping to ship it by the end of the week, which is amazing to me since it's all sewn by hand.

Flowerdaze apparel makes very reasonable custom dresses.  Leslie Flowerday-Plank started the business because she's a long waisted adult skater who couldn't find a dress that fit and was attractive.  I LOVE my FS dress she made and I've asked for a new Dramatic costume from her.  I also have two pairs of her "boot cut" pants which are really more like extra long attractive leggings that pull down over your boots in the back.
