So she chose a partner, a dress, and an event - not necessarily in that order. The event is the exact same competition, only 16 years later. The partner is Mikael Rudolph, and the dress is Peach and Pearl. The dress is a key element of ballroom dancing. Costuming for ballroom events is a competition in and of itself.
Gowns are lush, extravagant, and very carefully chosen.
This particular one is peach and is studded with twinklie stuff and pearls. It's backless and form fitting to just below the hips, and has a flirty, double-tiered, flair of a skirt that could almost waltz by itself. It looks like it was made for Lisa to wear. It takes two to tango. . . Mikael is relatively new to ballroom dance.
