What is an Irish dance dress called? The Irish dance dresses worn to competitions are called solo dresses. They are all designed individually and are made for the specific dancer. Even when buying a used dress from someone they consider colors to go with their hair color, personality complexion, and style. These solo dresses are like snowflakes in the fact that not one dress is like another. Dressmakers, teachers, and students take considerable time to carefully design and make the perfect dress for their dancers. Dancers do not get to wear these dresses until they get into at least Novice/prizewinner level. They start out with a little less expensive and less intricate dress, but as their dancing progress the dress tends to get more elaborate and sparkly as well. They are usually made out of velvet, silk or taffeta or other fancy fabrics. There is stiffener in the skirt and there are crystals and embroidery decorated on each dress. They can not be easily washed so they are usually spot cleaned. Dancers buy and sell dresses to keep the cost down. Dresses can run from $100-$3,500 dollars. Depending on the dressmaker, designer and what fabrics and crystals they use.
