Subject: RE: Wigs/Makeup in kids' Irish dance feis
The chorus-line Riverdance costumes were pretty subdued, and my (hazy) memory of LOTD doesn't throw out any startling images either. I don't think the show's producers would have wanted the backline to compete visually with the stars. The current competition dresses are far more outré, and judging from what others say, that seems to be the reason for it: catch the judge's eye in the nanosecond available to you.
