Just nine days to our first "official" competition of the season! We competed one dance a few weeks ago just to test the waters...but now it is crunch time. I
thought I was completely ready, but not so much. Here's my punch list:
- pickup faux ponytail
- buy one more pair of caramel tights
- sew tan fabric on Carolina bodice - two inches from V
- add rhinestone flower to Carolina bodice and do other rhinestone repair
- remember body tape on Ghost Town
- cut tags and long straps
- find tights to cut into "boy shorts" for Carolina
- sew crotches in all tights (six pairs)
- sew elastic to bottom of hip hop pants
Did you know you have to sew the crotches in tights before performances? I learned this last year...if you don't everyone can see this goofy looking circle of fabric when the girls kick. Nice. I have one costume hanging outside today airing out...also sprayed it with a fair amount of Febreze. Unfortunately, the lady who made it is a smoker. I think she may have tried to spray the costumes with perfume to mask the smoke. Bottom line is that the thing was stinking up my house! I can't imagine having to actually wear it.. Hope the fresh air / miracle of science cure works. I'm open for suggestions if anyone has a sure-fire way to eliminate smoke stink. I can't actually wash this one. The double whammy is that we kind of hate the way it looks, too.
