Blackpool Brilliance: Irina Shines in Couture at The Open Worlds

There are moments in ballroom dancing that transcend competition — moments where performance, artistry, and couture collide to create something unforgettable. At this year’s Open Worlds in Blackpool, that moment belonged to Irina and Stanislav, who captured the Professional Ballroom title in the legendary Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

 

 

An Iconic Floor, A Winning Performance

Set beneath the grandeur of the Blackpool Tower, one of the most prestigious venues in ballroom history, Irina delivered a performance defined by elegance, power, and precision.

But beyond the technique and triumph, it was the complete visual impact — the silhouette, the movement, the craftsmanship — that elevated her presence on the floor.

 

 

The Black Gown: Understated Glamour, Unforgettable Impact

Irina’s winning look was nothing short of couture mastery. Her striking black ballroom gown was a study in refined drama — elegant, sculptural, and rich in detail.

Handmade in London using the finest Chrisanne Clover fabrics, the design featured:

Ruched stretch net layered over a cappuccino bodice for a soft yet structured finish Intricate embroidery with bold motifs, creating depth and a subtle, “secret” luxury effect Lavish Swarovski® crystal embellishment in Graphite, Jet, and Silver Night that shimmered under the ballroom lights

As she moved across the floor, the gown came alive.

Two layers of flowing black georgette, combined with a satin chiffon underskirt, delivered fluidity and volume, while cascading ruffles down the back created a dramatic, show-stopping silhouette.

The look was completed with embellished ruched stretch net gloves, finished with ostrich feather detailing — adding texture, movement, and unmistakable couture flair.

 

 

A Second Statement: The White Bellarosa Gown

For the Team Match, Irina transformed her look entirely, stepping out in a radiant white Bellarosa stretch lace gown — a striking contrast to her black ensemble.

This design brought a lighter, ethereal energy to the floor while maintaining the same level of luxury and craftsmanship:

Stretch lace layered over cappuccino underlayers for dimension and softness Swarovski crystal embellishment, including Crystal AB, Electric White, and White Opal for a luminous finish Flowing satin chiffon and georgette floats, enhanced with ostrich feather boas and fringe for added movement and drama

The result was a look that felt both powerful and effortlessly graceful — perfectly suited to the energy of the Team Match.

 

 

Where Performance Meets Couture

Irina’s Blackpool victory wasn’t just a celebration of dance — it was a celebration of craftsmanship, design, and the artistry of ballroom couture.

Each gown told a story:

The black dress — bold, sophisticated, and dramatic The white dress — luminous, fluid, and enchanting

Together, they showcased the power of couture to transform performance into spectacle.

Modelled by Nancy Xu, who brings every design vividly to life, here’s her verdict on her favourite piece:

“I’ve always dreamed of being a Chrisanne Clover girl since moving to the UK — and wearing these dresses today is a dream come true. Dancing in them has been so much fun. I love dresses with movement that become an extension of my body, enhancing every action. The silver and cappuccino beaded dress is my absolute favourite — the tassels and beads create incredible movement and even sound! Finished with Swarovski crystals, it looks unbelievably luxurious. I’m in love.”

  This summer we launched 8 NEW vibrant shadings in our satin chiffon shaded collection. Be inspired with our beautiful couture dress that features one of these shades that is Made in London with Chrisanne Clover fabric and embellished with only the best Swarovski® crystals

 

BDD723PP

This stunning plum ombre Ballroom gown uses 22 meters of shaded satin chiffon shading plum to cream. It elegantly drapes over buttercream crystal organza underskirts that are finished with crinoline. The bodice is adorned with Swarovski crystals in hues including fuchsia shimmer, amethyst, golden shadow, and rose gold. Each arm is embellished with plum ostrich feather boas, creating dramatic floats oozing luxury and sophistication.

 

 

The shading can be used in either direction, and depending on your design, you might want to use more of one colour than the other. The fabric is 112cm wide, and the shading covers the entire width of the fabric. Shorter designs, like ice skating skirts, may require careful consideration regarding how the skirt will be shaded, as the full shade of the fabric might not be fully realized.

 

 

The dress featured employs this shading on godets, but panelled and flared skirt pieces will also work effectively. Pattern placement will need to be taken into account if you want the shade to be consistent; you may need to acquire more fabric to ensure the patterns are placed the same way. However, for an even more dramatic effect, alternating your pattern pieces will create a standout finish! This fabric is also perfect for floats, adding dimension to a couture piece that may be of one colour, imparting a touch of luxury. 

 

The shaded satin chiffon can also be pleated for an even more dazzling finish. We provide a specialist sunray pleating service that will add dimension, volume, and texture to your designs, creating elegant flowlines and movement. Contact our sales team for more information.

 

 

We are embracing the summer vibes with our dazzling collection of stock couture dresses available in a range of vibrant colours and designs, each one Made in London by our team or experts, and embellished with Swarovski® crystals ...

BDD701PP – Vilhelmina wore this striking tropic lime Ballroom dress adorned with 3 dimensional petals and embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours moonlight, electric yellow, crystal shimmer and metallic sunshine

 

How was this years experience for you both at the blackpool Dance Festival? We are absolutely thrilled to have made it to the final! It's our first time performing in the final of the Blackpool Dance Festival, and it felt truly incredible.   Please confirm your results? We placed 6th in the Professional Ballroom Rising Star

 

 

 

You wore a tropic lime dress – please tell me why you chose this colour and more about the design of your dress? We picked tropic lime knowing how vibrant it is and that the colour really pops, particularly on the floor in the Wintergardens, and it happens to be Alex’s favourite colour! I love the 3D flowers, they have become part of my dance fashion, but with this dress we tried something unique with the cutouts on the sides of the. bodice, which turned out fantastic.  

 

 

 

Any fond memories you can share with us that you had at the this event? This time, we shared a ‘day of a dancer’ on our Instagram stories, and our friends really enjoyed it as they could keep up with our day. We kicked things off in the morning by showcasing our breakfast, followed by the getting ready process with hair and makeup, warming up, and everything in between. Many of our friends and students from the USA, Sweden, China, Hong Kong, and beyond tuned in to the live stream and sent us a flurry of cheerful messages, making us feel incredibly supported, which was such a blast!

 

 

What are your plans now? Our goal is to continue enhancing our dancing skills in the USA. This summer season is quite intense, filled with numerous competitions that we will take part in. We eagerly anticipate returning to the prestigious Albert Hall in London in September for the International Dance Festival.

 

We look forward to seeing Vilhelmina and Alex back in the UK in October for the Internationals! Follow @vilhelminalavrov and @alex.lavrov_on Instagram for all their competition updates

 

Following her performance at the famous Blackpool Dance Festival in May with partner Eric, we reconnect with Anna to learn about the inspirations that led to her new Chrisanne Clover Ballroom dresses, which she showcased at the event…

 

Congratulations on your results at the Blackpool Dance Festival – how was this years’ experience for you both?   Last year was our first time competing in Professional Ballroom, which made it quite nerve-wracking. However, this year we truly relished our time dancing even more.     Please kindly confirm your results for each dance

BDD720PP: This electric pink Ballroom dress was made for the team match event, embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours light topaz, metallic sunshine and crystal shimmer

 

 

You had 3 new dresses made for the event – please share your inspirations and ideas behind each dress

 

We had a fantastic colour for the team match; the team leader proposed Electric Pink adorned with gold crystals. This colour combination is truly unique. Electric Pink and gold together really draws the eye. I'm extremely happy with how the designer positioned the crystals – the overall finish of my dress looked so sparkling and elegant.

 

 

BDD702PP: Anna wore this orange and cappuccino Ballroom dress in earlier rounds, embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours orange glow delite, light rose shimmer and tangerine.

 

The orange dress draws inspiration from my apple green dress that I wore for the Internationals last October. I adored that dress so much that I wanted a gown with a similar concept – a vibrant colour adorned with sparkling Swarovski crystals, expertly selected and arranged by the Chrisanne Clover team. The pink hue of the crystals complements the orange beautifully. I felt incredibly confident wearing it, and the orange just glowed and stood out so much under the dancefloor lights.

 

 

BDD697PP: For the final Anna wore this black and sugar pink Ballroom dress, adorned with feather fringe and embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours crystal AB, jet hematite and light rose.

 

For the finale, I wanted something that combines elegance with fashion. In my black and pink dress, I truly felt like a princess!      Did you have a favourite dress and why?

 

Without a doubt, my black and pink dress for the finale was stunning. It appeared even more beautiful than the initial design illustration and made me feel like a princess. I adore the crystal embellishments and the way the dress flows while dancing. Chrisanne Clover truly excels at capturing intricate details.

 

Anna showcases our NEW limited lace collection against her stunning couture collection, wearing left: Elizabeth top with the Isabelle Ballroom skirt. Right: Florence Ballroom dress

 

 

We had the new limited dancewear at the Blackpool Dance Festival stand. What were your favourite pieces from the new collection and why?

 

I wore the Harriet Top along with the Anya Trousers for the conference, and I truly appreciated the overall appearance! The Harriet top, in particular, caught my eye. It boasts a unique style – both fashionable and sophisticated at the same time. The lace detailing is incredibly alluring, which is also the reason I am fond of the Florence dress with its delicate lace back as well.

 

 

Anna wears the Daphne Ballroom Dress from the 2025 Chrisanne Clover Dancewear collection

 

Do you have a favourite dancewear piece from our other collections?

 

My current favourite is probably the Daphne Ballroom Dress from the Chrisanne Clover Dancewear 2025 collection that was launched in January. I love the georgette cape sleeves they make the perfect floats and creates lots of movement when dancing.

 

 

 

 

What are your plans now? I’m preparing for more competitions and looking forward to my next dress Chrisanne Clover will make for me for the Internationals in October!

 

We look forward to seeing Anna and Eric again in the UK in October for the Internationals!

After triumphing in the Professional Ballroom at The Worlds Blackpool, we reconnect with Irina to find out how her experience at Blackpool was…

 

How was this years experience for you both at the worlds Blackpool?

It was wonderful as ever; returning to the UK, the heart of the Ballroom world, always feels incredible, particularly when visiting such a legendary and historic place like The Blackpool Tower.

 

Bdd714pp Buttercream Irina’s finale buttercream dress was embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours light rose, sunshine delite and crystal shimmer.

 

You wore 3 stunning dresses, please tell me your favourite dress and the design inspirations behind it?

My favourite dress among the three is the buttercream one, although I adore all my Chrisanne Clover dresses.

 

The inspiration for this dress came from a trip to Paris we took in January for a two-day holiday, where we visited Balenciaga. I tried on one of their couture dresses and instantly fell in love with it. It was made of black velvet and featured a hip corset design. The price was astonishing, as you can imagine, so after sharing my thoughts with the designers about what I loved in that dress, they crafted a similar hip line for me. In my opinion, it looks even better than the Balenciaga dress on me.

 

Bdd715pp In earlier rounds Irina wore this black and cappuccino Ballroom dress embellished with Swarovski crystals and adorned with ostrich feather boas

 

 

What was it like dancing in the tower ballroom with its grand history?

The tower ballroom is incredibly stunning; when you gaze at the ceiling and the surroundings, it feels as if you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. It’s truly enchanting, especially in my buttercream dress, which made the experience feel exceptionally special.

For the team match, Irina wore this red lace Ballroom dress embellished with Swarovski crystals and adorned with ostrich feather boas

Crystals that complement this lively tone beautifully include light siam, hyacinth, siam and crystal.

 

Cobalt: Confident and Commanding

Complementary crystal colours that harmonize perfectly include capri blue, sapphire, dark indigo and crystal.

 

Salmon: Refined and Radiant

A sophisticated take on pink, refined, flattering, and ideal for spring styling. It looks exceptional in our botanic embroidery on stretch net especially when paired with delicate floral details for a fresh seasonal feel. Finish the look with our  luxury 6 ply Ostrich feathers to bring elegance and soft movement to the design. This hue pairs beautifully with crystal tones in padparadscha, coral, rose and crystal

 

Saffron: Sunny Warmth

Saffron sings of spring – a golden hue that radiates warmth and adds luminous depth to any ballroom dance dress. It’s natural vibrancy shines through in velour and chiffon fabrics, giving movement a fluid, sunlit quality. This charming shade pairs beautifully with crystal colours in light topaz, topaz, citrine and crystal

‘A dramatic and gothic-inspired design featuring full-length sleeves and a bold boa detail across the biceps, cascading over the shoulders. Crystal chain accessories add edge, while the vintage open-weave net bodice, fully adorned with fire opal Swarovski crystals, crystal droppers, bead accents, and fringing, amplifies movement and elongates the silhouette.’

For the final Anna wore this beautiful white halter neck Ballroom dress embellished with Swarovski crystals in colours crystal, electric white, white opal and crystal white pearls.

 

 

‘Designed for height and an hourglass silhouette, this dress features mirrored pearl and crystal embellishments that contour the body. The high halterneck leaves the shoulders and back open, while sweeping floats from the wrist and back add fluidity. The overall aesthetic channels 1920s–30s glamour with a modern twist.’

‘A bold, sassy take on yellow, this design balances warmth and vibrancy by incorporating sunflower and light topaz crystals near the face. The shading transitions into a voluminous Ofri skirt, creating a dynamic visual effect. Inspired by a wing pendant, the large geo floats and mirrored stoning enhance presence on the dance floor.’

Wine Ballroom Dress

Vilhelmina wore this dazzling Wine Ballroom dress adorned with 3 dimensional petal shapes and embellished with Swarovski crystals including colours crystal AB, rose, fuchsia and light siam shimmer.

 

 

‘This design reimagines Vilhelmina’s past styles with fresh colors and an innovative underskirt. Long, twisting lycra cut-outs sculpt the body, complemented by cascading stoning in petal-like formations. Bondaweb petal and flower embellishments on the bust, hip, and wrist enhance the organic flow, while multi-layered floats and signature long gloves complete the look.’
