Because they did, the troupe costumes were lovely, black with a pink, green, blue and yellow celtic knot design on the skirt.
This might be jelousy talking mind you, our costumes were the plainest at the festival!
I was browsing sites looking for decent Irish dancing solo dresses (I don't have one yet and would like to own one) I came across this needlework site featuring Irish dance dresses based off of The Lord of the Rings. Some of them are absolutely amazing!
Some of my favorites:
The River Silverlode http://www.silverlodeneedlecraft.com/riversilverlode.htm
Far Green Country http://www.silverlodeneedlecraft.com/fargreencountry.htm
Rivendell in Autumn http://www.silverlodeneedlecraft.com/rivenautumn.htm
Shadowfax http://www.silverlodeneedlecraft.com/shadowfax.htm
The White Tree

The Silmarillion

I suddenly find myself wanting to post all of them. Check out www.silverlodeneedlecraft.com for the rest of them.
AREN'T THEY PRETTY? :-O
And much, much nicer than the dresses that I saw at the festival in Schoten last week! Less neon pink and orange for one thing!
Not sure why people like the bright, eye-killing colors...I know they help you get seen on stage and make you stand out from everyone else, but seriously...they HURT.

...but solo dresses like this (http://www.irishdancingdirectory.com/images/dress.jpg) and this (http://www.gardenofdaisies.com/images/brooke_7ji2.jpg) make my eyes bleed.
Those are absolutely gorgeous!

Love the The River Silverlode and the White Tree. ^^
Those were quite amazing to see.
SO YES, THEY ARE PRETTY. *drool*
But they're pretty awesome. Love Shadowfax and Silverlode. ^_^
My favourite is The Silmarillion.
I especially like Celebrant, Silmarillion and The White Tree. Now I'm rather desperately envious of people who can actually sew.
Waaaaaant.
Maybe, if I'm really lucky, after I spent the next ten years embroidering silver and gold trees on my clothes, the stuff I do will a fraction as beautiful as that embroidery. That's gorgeous.
(Too bad I wouldn't fit into any of them. Dresses like that are made for dancers and supermodels. But I definitely like them!)
want!
