Several generations ago, the appropriate dress for a competition was simply your “Sunday Best”. In the 1970s and 1980’s ornately embroidered dresses became popular. Today even more ornamentation is used on girls’ dresses, including lace, sequins, silk, extensive embroidery, feathers, faux fur and more.
Irish Dancing schools have school dresses, which are worn by “Beginner” through “Novice” dancers. When dancers reach a level decided by their school, may get a solo dress of their own design and colors.
Today most women and girls curl their hair or wear a wig for a competition or feis (feis pronounced fesh).
The skirts of the dresses used to be floppy, then they became stiff with a special cardboard and now the skirts are puffy, puffballs, double puffballs, frilly and feathers.
Getting an Irish Dance dress is quite expensive. If you are looking for better prices you may check out the below selection:
