Foiled again!
Paint correction on a older tutu bodice. It isn't a good solution if partnered, but it is great for a solo!

Also, please consider this type of wear when selecting fabrics!

Irish dress upfit!
Original (light background) skirt was too wide and bounced with a full stretch bodice. We stabilized the front up and down stretch, lifted the skirt to a better length and repleated the skirt to fall more gracefully and give a better waistline.
New line created a connection between the top embroidery and the skirt. Proud of all of my dancers but especially my adults!

Been working on some pattern matching and I thought I would share my process:
1) cut out your base. Lay the pattern on right side up fabric. Put the pocket pattern right on top of the base pattern, lining up your pattern dots. Pin the pocket pattern down so it won't shift
2) lay your pocket fabric on top of bothering patterns, right side up, using the edges to match up your pattern.
3) pin your pocket fabric to the pocket pattern in 3 spots- remember that you need to unpin the pattern from the base before you move it.
4) flip your pocket fabric over (with the pattern attached and cut it out!

Once you make your pocket it will be pretty obvious where it goes :)

You want to know what a costumer thinks about?
Ruth Carter's notes were on cards that were the same color as her dress so it wouldn't break column effect of her gown.

That is what a great costumer thinks about.
All the little details.
