Naga had the best outfit again. Oti's was lovely, and I would have liked Oksana's if it weren't for the flesh coloured fabric over her chest and upper arms, it was far too thick and heavy. I liked Laura's 'ombre' sort of skirts.

She looked like a Hollywood filmstar. The dress was glamorous and elegant and the colour gorgeous on her. |

Another disappointing week. Where are the lovely ballroom dresses? They all seem too short or more like a blouse and skirt. I did like Natalie's green dress though.
I think it's such a shame but not altogether unexpected. |

I liked Natalie's dress but thank goodness they scrapped the idea of having two random stripes of pink and purple ribbon as Vicky Gill showed on ITT the other night, they just looked like an afterthought and nothing whatsoever to do with the rest of the dress.

My favourite celeb dress was Lauras. Stunning colour on her. My favourite pro dress was Joannes - i loved the shape and movement of it and the sequinned fire was very eye catching. |

Frocks
I know it sounds awfully petty, but why the term "frocks"? Didn't that die out round about the 1940s? Dance (ballroom and or Latin) dresses are just that - DRESSES!
Almost as bad as the continued use of the word 'sequins', when they (apart from specialised decorations) largely died out in the 1990s, to be replaced by stones of varying sizes, colours and extortionate(!) expense. |

The costume budget paid to DSI (who make all the dresses) has been cut year on year till they are now even resorting to buying some bits on the High Street.
I think it's such a shame but not altogether unexpected. So they cut down on fabric? Dunno about frocks, the pro's knickers seem to be briefer this year. Far more substantial last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QemZ7_15OpA |

Loved Laura's. Thought Daisy's was awful.

Which makes me question, why do they all seem to have a theme? Why can't they be given decent music and costumes, and just dance? |

I agree on both points, but I suppose Daisy's dress was meant to look like an "American Diner" uniform.

Because it's an intrinsically funny word and conveys some of the daftness of the frou-frou that is Strictly costuming

But it can be dresses, whatever you like - all the same thing really. Outfits costumes, ballgowns ..

Loved Laura's ... just so elegant. Didn't like the top of Oti's ... the skirt was divine but wardrobe didn't do a very good job of containing Oti's assets!!
Nat's was nice. Janette looked awful, didn't like Daisy's outfit or Louise's and hated the top of Oksana's. Katya looked cute. |

Natalie's green dress teamed with her partners outfit was, for me, one of my all-time favourite Strictly costumes.
