Honestly, I don't like it - I think it swamps her

The dress itself is hideous (IMO) but I do think it looks good on Anita. I think it's because she has a tiny frame and she can make it look elegant.

If I saw Anita's dress hanging on a peg I would think "hmmm" as I don't like the style or the colours (!) but she can carry it off.”


I love Anita, but that dress should have stayed on the hanger.

Looks like a pillow case.

I think she looks Jean Shrimptonesque.

Okay, okay, I concede - it is a minging dress.

I'm not keen on the dress but I agree that it doesn't look so bad on Anita - I think she looks lovely Love the photo of her and Georgia and she's the only person who doesn't make Georgia look so small as Anita is pretty tiny herself.

I see Ainsley was there to but can't see any photos of him with any of the Strictly gang on the website.

Not keen on Joanne's outfit either whilst we are talking clothes.

I'm not really a fan of Joanne's sartorial style ... I find it hard to forgive those wellies on ITT In fairness, she is very individual but I'm still not keen! I found her super super annoying on her first series but I did really like her on ITT and I found her views quite refreshing. I quite like Karen H but sometimes I think she recycles the same opinions. I like it when she disagrees with the judges though

For me, because she is so tiny she needs something with a bit more structure and not such wide horizontal stripes - but hey, my fashion hey day was from early 70's to late 80's - why should anyone listen to a word I say!

I'm not a fan of wide horizontal stripes but I love the Breton style tops with the narrow stripes. But hey, like you, I don't think anyone is interested in my fashion views!

Whilst we're talking fashion and style ... why do the female pros (and possibly the men - I'm looking at you Robin) wear SO MUCH MAKE-UP on ITT??? I can understand on the show itself but on ITT it looks really unnatural to me.

My girls did see Pixie as a fairy princess and particularly loved her Viennese Waltz dress And thought Helen was a ballerina!

Well I'm going to go against everyone's opinions and say I really like Anita's dress, particularly the block colours which suit her I agree with you Lou about her carrying it off and making it look elegant.

I do own a stripy pillowcase Sarah so maybe that's why I like it

I was only talking about the dress (wouldn't even call it that). It looks like someone was lazy to design and just cut a piece of cloth and stitched the whole piece.
No style and no structure. I wouldn't even take that piece of cloth for free.

Pixie's Viennese Waltz princess dress, my girls favourite

Apparently it was on display at Woburn Abbey along with Caroline's Charleston dress and others from Series 12 last year. I wonder if there will be another exhibition this year and if so which dresses might be included from last series. My favourites included Helen's Foxtrot and Anita's Paso dresses (Gratuitous inclusion of Aljaz in uniform and a shirtless Gleb)

EDIT: Link to image of Helen's Foxtrot dress fixed.

I'm wondering if there will be another exhibition open to the general public though like there was at Woburn Abbey last year.

Kellie got a rough deal from wardrobe didn't she. I'd started to think she must have told them she wasn't comfortable wearing a more fitted long ballroom dress but then she was so thrilled to finally be given a beautiful gown in the semi, I felt sorry for her all over again. Still can't believe they made her wear that Samba outfit

Kellie really was badly dressed Out of all the women on the show I thought Katie was the best dressed. She seemed to have a lovely dress on every week.

Katie always looked amazing - I felt Kellie really had reason to complain her costumes were dreadful !

Oh she did, some of my favourites of Katie's included her American Smooth, Argentine Tango, Waltz and Tango dresses but she looked beautiful in everything Her hair was gorgeous too, particularly the intricate updos she wore.
