Worlds Flashback: Jamie Salé 2001
Jamie Salé (pictured here with her very cute partner David Pelletier) wore this burgundy dress for the short program "Come Rain or Shine", en route to the gold medal in Vancouver in 2001 (no, I wasn't there...I wasn't even in Vancouver that week, but I most definitely watched it on TV in a hotel in Nelson). I'm not sure what's going on with the colouring of these pics here, but from my recollection, the dress was closer to the colouring on the right.
This costume is a perfect example piece from Jamie's very simple style. In the past, her dresses were a bit too simple (ie boring), but this one was perfect. The colour is very sophisticated, and I love the plunging ruffle neckline. A v-neck halter is always a flattering style and Jamie wears it well here. Although I'm not a huge fan of the bodice/skirt separation look, here it's not so bad because the sumptuous velvety bodice contrasts well with the chiffon skirt. I think I used that picture on the right for a grade 11 sewing class project on Jamie. Oh, the memories...
(Yes, I cheated, these photos are from Skate Canada, not the Worlds. I couldn't find any good quality shots from Worlds but she did wear this to the Worlds too.)
