In the first 2 series Chrisanne made the dresses and Brackleys supplied the tail suits (they still do although not so many men wear them now).
DSI then took over the costumes and they start in January despite the fact that Strictly doesn't start till the Autumn. Vicky Gill works for DSI but budget cuts now dictate the quality and more and more dancers are seen in High Street clothes (particularly the men!) hence the amount of costume 'malfunctions ' as these clothes are simply not made to stand up to the rigours of dancing like this. As I have posted before, in the early years all the Strictly dresses were sold at major competitions and were popular for amateurs to buy but nowadays no self respecting dancer would be seen in a Strictly outfit hence the recycling that goes on year after year. It's such a shame, particularly in ballroom. There are so many beautiful dresses that could be worn and yet both celebs and pros wear, generally, really poor outfits. |

Since the show started beating X-Factor in the ratings, it's a box ticked, so they will be looking for more and more ways to save money on this show. |

I thought the costumes were sold to the various Dancing with the Stars productions around the globe?

I like Camilla and I liked her style of dancing.
I agree about the costumes. Everything looks cheap and flimsy now in comparison. The dresses from early series, especially ones that Erin and Lilia used to wear were amazing. |
