How much do Olympic figure skating dresses cost?
Love them or laugh at them, Olympics figure skating costumes are hard to ignore. They’re just so shiny. But how much does all the sparkle cost? Thousands.

Olympic figure skating costumes are all about fit, flare, and a few thousand rhinestones. All that glitter isn’t cheap. The dress Gracie Gold wore on the cover of Sports Illustrated would set you back $3,000.
Designers say dresses run anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 each. And Olympic contestants need more than one. It takes a wardrobe of shine to succeed on the ice.
