Basic Wear to Practice

[reb]

for ballroom purposes they'd have to have built-in utilipanties...

:doh:

 

[samina]

yep... he posted a link to that a couple pages back... ergo the waxing discussion... lol

 

[Peaches]

thought of you fondly yesterday, as i wore black stretchy gauchos to my studio practice w/ pro... with black nike zippy jacket over it... love that look. i should have a wardrobe of two dozen just for dance lessons & practice...
(hmmm... wonder if i could more like that... my secondary summer mantra, it seems...)

I hear ya. But it only takes one comment like that, then...not so much.

 

[samina]

then...not so much.

not so much what...?

I understand that. At least it's not a hard name to pronounce.

unfortunately it is. it's spelled kim, but pronounced keem. and like i said, it's not even my full name, which i had the pleasure of hearing school teachers mangle every year since i was six.

Lol! You poor thing. I have the easiest name to pronounce, so I'm a lucky one. But people that have like 20 letters in their name I have to feel for. Especially trying to learn how to spell that kind of name when you are like 5 or 6 years old lol!

Hmmm... trying to get back on topic. I can't because I keep laughing at Samina's remarks about Chris lol!

amongst other dancers at rounds, it's rare i'll see anyone with jeans on. is this just me being a snot-nosed twentysomething?

Yes.

Interesting. I almost never have problems stepping on practice skirts, but often have that problem with ballgowns. Sounds like my problem is more expensive to fix than yours.

Your practice skirts are also shorter than your ballgown(s)...and it costs you the same, i.e. nothing. :razz:

If its a hot day, I wear this: http://utilikilts.com/

Actually, I wear them anytime I can. Its so "Cool."

thats what my dance partner wears - well not utilikilts - just normal kilts in a variety of weird and wonderful fabrics

I tend to wear jazz pants as they are comfortable, cheap and easy to wash, I add to them a variety of singlets and t-shirts - and top it off with a fitted zip front sweat shirt.

has anyone seen this dress live? is it wide enough in the skirt to actually dance in?

So pretty. If it weren't grossly expensive I would buy it in a heartbeat.

True, I am fortunate enough to have the holes repaired for free (thank you). But they don't do any favors to the resale value of the dresses.

 

[Katarzyna]

Yes I wouldnt' hestate if it was under 200... but... still tempting. does anyone konw if its good quality? is it worth the price? anyone seen it live..

 

[skwiggy]

Haven't seen it live. Tempting to buy it, stone it, and call it a costume.
