New bling for Nashville

Ice Girl's new skate dress arrived today! We had Tina Skating make this semi-custom dress. It is very cute and fits her well.

Part of the allure of a skating dress is the ability to bling it out to your heart's content. Luckily for us, this dress is blinged out and there is very little we have to do to it. It is covered in 3D flowers, pearls, rhinestones, sequins and beads. I could go ahead and bling out the skirt, but we don't want to go completely overboard.

Another issue to deal with is what to do with hair. Ice Girl has baby fine, stick straight hair. We have found that if we put her hair in a bun and then add fake hair, it gives her the appearance of volume and takes about 10 minutes to do. We dressed her hair up with braids in her bangs and sides and a large black bow for Louisville.

We also have to contend with make up. Ice Girl is extremely fair complected (now....wait until she has a few days outside in the sun.....with sunscreen.....she will be dark) so I brush on a bronzer to give her a glow. I also have to cake the eye makeup on, bright lips and blushed cheeks.

As soon as Ice Girl will let me put her back in the new dress, I will be sure to get a picture up of her!
