Our story

Since 2001

The first Chinese company to ship figure skating costumes overseas at scale — and still hand-making every piece today.

The beginning

Founded in 2001, BOARTWORKS was the first Chinese company to export figure skating costumes overseas. Driven by passion and craftsmanship, our products quickly won the hearts of skaters worldwide, becoming a top-rated PowerSeller on eBay USA within a year. When the 2008 Olympics brought winter sports into the spotlight across China, we expanded our services to the domestic market. Our rich experience and striking designs rapidly built a loyal following. What began as a figure skating specialty soon grew to include rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, aerobics, and aerial dance. For each discipline, we study the unique demands of the sport, from moisture-wicking fabrics and four-way stretch to silhouettes that complement every movement and artistic style. Drawing on the best of each world, we refine every design to help athletes shine with confidence on stage. Today, BOARTWORKS continues to craft competition wear for figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, aerobics, and aerial dance, serving everyone from young club members to national champions. Thank you for your trust and support. We remain committed to our original vision, bringing you ever more exceptional creations.

Growing with the sport

When the 2008 Olympics brought ice sport into more Chinese homes, we opened our domestic business as well. Working with skaters taught us how fabric, stretch and stage lighting change a programme.

Five disciplines today

Today we design and make for figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, aerobics and aerial dance — from first-competition club kids to national team athletes.

Our Heritage

Craftsmanship Since 2001

BOARTWORKS was founded in 2001 as the first Chinese company to export figure skating costumes abroad. Driven by passion, we quickly became a top seller on eBay USA.

In 2008, as the Olympic spirit inspired winter sports across China, we began serving domestic skaters too. Today, we specialize in five disciplines: Figure Skating, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Artistic Swimming, Aerobics, and Aerial Dance. From the youngest club members to national champions, every piece we make is designed to adapt to the unique movements and artistic style of each sport—blending moisture-wicking fabrics with breathtaking aesthetics to help athletes shine on the podium.

BOARTWORKS was established in 2001 as the first Chinese company to export figure skating costumes overseas. Driven by passion and meticulous craftsmanship, our products quickly earned a devoted following among international skaters, becoming a top-rated seller on eBay USA within just one year.

In 2008, fueled by the Olympic spirit and the growing popularity of winter sports across China, we launched our domestic business. With years of experience and stunning designs, we rapidly gained a loyal fanbase at home.

Initially focused on figure skating, we continuously expanded our services—incorporating rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, aerobics, and aerial dance into our portfolio. We study each discipline deeply: from moisture-wicking fabrics to silhouette design that complements athletic movements and artistic styles. We blend the best traditions from all five worlds, striving for perfection in every piece to help athletes shine with confidence💫.

Today, BOARTWORKS serves everyone from young club members to national champions🏅. Thank you for your love and support. We will stay true to our roots, continuing to bring you more premium creations.

Team & studio

Who makes your costume

A small Beijing atelier: pattern cutters, stitchers and finishers who work on competition wear and nothing else.

Pattern & fitting

Your measurements are drafted into an individual pattern before any fabric is cut, so the fit starts from your body rather than a standard size.

Cutting & stitching

Stretch mesh, lycra and lining are cut and assembled by hand. Seams are finished to sit flat so nothing rubs during a programme.

Stones & finishing

Rhinestones and appliqué are set by hand and checked under stage-style light before the piece is packed and shipped.

Your point of contact

One person answers your messages from the first measurement sheet to the tracking number, in English or Chinese.

Visit our studio in Beijing — a workshop set inside a private garden. Clients are welcome by appointment.
