DWTS Season 13, Week 9 Costumes: Robert Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, Samba: Hit

Have you ever wondered just how the Dancing With the Stars costumes can possibly shine so much? Hint: it’s not a bedazzler. And how many costumes does the DWTS costume department they create each week? Hint: it’s over 50.

The design duo responsible for churning out rhinestone-covered Lycra and nude netting week after week gave fans a glimpse inside their glitter factory. The wardrobe department’s Steven Lee and Daniela Gschwendtner reveal their favorite costume of Season 13, how they decide which star should wear what color, and everything you need to stand out on the ballroom stage — or just among friends at your weekly DWTS-watching party.
