CRYSTAL BALLGOWN INSPIRED BY LADY GAGA WON BY CANADA!
|
 |
On Wednesday 2nd June at 12 midday (GMT) the CHRISANNE party took place at the Winter Gardens Blackpool Dance Festival. There was a feeling of excitement in the crowd as Bucks fizz and crystal cupcakes were being laid out in preparation for the prize draw to win the Crystal Ball gown inspired by Lady Gaga worth over £9,000. With a crowd of 200 people raring to win the dress Malene Van Hauen (Managing Director) began the draw. |
|
Third prize, a Swarovski jewellery set of a necklace with matching earrings was won by Diana Zhikhareva. Second prize, a pen holder made with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS was won by Annelise Persson. First prize, the Chrisanne Crystal Ball gown embellished with over 50,000 of the finest cut SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS was won by Mr. Phil Lee from Canada. Mr Lee kindly donated his win to his wife Mrs Patricia Goh. |

Twelve years ago Patricia Goh bought her first ballroom dress from Chrisanne and even to this day she “still has it as it fits so well!” Patricia runs a Dance Studio called Dance Club Blue Silver which has been established for fifty years and has 800 pupils. When asked where she plans to make her debut in the dress Patricia said “I hope to wear it one day if I have the opportunity to do some judging, or I will wear it with my friend from Canada who also won a Chrisanne dress two years ago”. Patricia was blown away by the new generation dancesport crystal used on the Crystal Ball gown, she described it as “truly dazzling”. [XILION Rose enhanced of the Swarovski Elements range is a new dance wear component which is currently only available from CHRISANNE]. |

After the prize draw the party continued with an introduction to the “Faces of Chrisanne” as people excitedly queued for their posters to be signed by their favourite dancers. The crowd was treated to the elegant attire of the dancers who came down the stairs in true Hollywood glamour. Present were Roberto Villa with Morena Colagreco, Victor Fung with Anastasia Muravyova, Warren with Kristi Boyce, Emanuel Valeri with Tania Kehlet, and Giampiero Giannico with Anna Mikhed. Unfortunately the sixth couple - the World Amateur Latin Champions Alexey Silde and Anna Fristova could not attend the event but sent their warm wishes. The party was a great success and we look forward to next year’s!

DRESS OF THE MONTH
If you are looking for a Ballgown that is bold and uses the latest on trend fabrics then look no further. This elegant Ballgown is made using the very popular Purple Rain fabric in Brushed Embroidery on Stretch Net. This is particularly versatile and gives the dress a modern textured look which is further enhanced when the embroidery is embellished with Swarovski Elements. To compliment the Purple Rain tones of the fabric we have used Heliotrope in the new generation dancesport crystal of the Swarovski Elements range - XILION Rose enhanced in size 20. As you can see, the shoulder straps are also enhanced with these amazing new crystals and this makes for an interesting feature. The straps are balanced with the draping effect of the fabric at the front of the bust which creates the illusion of a petite waistline.
