New season means new dresses, whether that be practice wear or competition dresses. We love seeing all of your orders and designs come through- 2014-2015 is going to be a GREAT year for original, fun ideas!

• Sublimated textile design
• Blocking and fabric color changes

Putting our tanks on ice!  Our longtime skating customer from Missouri, Team Amore', took our slouchy tank and made it into their own! Adding their team name and colors makes for an eye-catching look on the ice. You guys look great! Below is a close up of the tanks with side to side black to white ombre. Love it with the bold red lettering!

Modified Web: Accessible custom designs without the custom expense.

AND it's as easy as 1-2-3!

1. Select your favorite style(s) from hundreds of options.

2. Love a style but want a different skirt? Need a biketard instead of a dress? Do you love an existing design and what to make it your own?

Last weekend, our designer, Trista and owner, Deb, attended the synchronized skating nationals in Colorado Springs. They had an amazing time chatting with skaters, parents and coaches at the booth, seeing the beautiful garments in action, and enjoying the amazing performances! We are honored to have worked with so many amazing teams. Congratulations to everyone!

Northern Lights always has great themes (check out last year!) and this year was no different! Coach Stephanie Miller had great ideas to go along with their Egyptian theme and it turned out great! These dresses had quite a bit of detailing and we love the bright colors.

Lindenwood University selected our online style Dasha, but made their own custom changes to transform it into a skating dress. This is a perfect example of taking a web style and making it your own!

National Blades was new to The Line Up this year. They customized our online Misty with fabrics and colors that really made them pop on the ice. They also went the custom route and designed a cheerleader inspired dress. We love the lettering on the dresses that complete the look!

Oh, how things have changed! Back in 1989, we were primarily focused on creating fitness wear for ladies taking jazzercise and aerobic classes. With much growth and expansion, The Line Up has come so far in producing a wide variety of styles and garments in multiple different industries, those being (but not limited to): college, studio, dance team, pro & semi-pro, and, last but not least, skating.

Established in 1956, the Hockettes are the nation’s first synchronized skating team. They have many different level teams, from Beginner through Junior. For many years, we have brought their costume visions to life. Our team works very closely with Bonnie Shay and Erin Donovan for each team's garment. We always look forward to the creative ideas they bring. Last year, we loved the "burst" color design they came up with for Junior Long (pictured below.)
