Following are the instructions for the sample costumes in the office and should be easily explain the patterns for the samples. 

RESONANT BODY:

NOTE: The biketards for the piece are ill-fitting on many of the girls. You will want to have your dancer TRY ON the costume and alter the torso at the seem at the hips. You will want to pull the torso part down and tuck it inside the seem and SEW it. This would be easiest if done BEFORE stoning, but CAN be done after.

In regards to stoning: Top

1. Stone across the top outline of the 'bra top'

2. Put one stone in the 'black part' in between 'flowers'

3. Put a stone in the center of the FLOWERS ONLY

**All of this occurs down to the bottom outline of the 'bra top'

In regards to stoning: Bottom

**Starting at the first section immediately below the seem at the waist – 

1. Put one stone in the 'black part' in between the 'flowers' for THREE rows

2. Put a stone in the center of the FLOWERS ONLY

BREAK FREE: 

**We are stoning the TOP ONLY

1. Stone all around the neckline. You do NOT need to stone where the snaps cross over in the back (to save on stones)

2. Stone all around the cuffs of each sleeve

3. Put one stone in the center of EVERY flower – this means the large flowers, and the small clumps of three flowers each

ALL DANCERS need to wrap the nude strap around their necks and tack (SEW) in such a way that it pulls the 'leotard' up to lay properly over their 'chest' (read 'boobs'). We will likely be cutting the bottom of only SOME of the skirts to make them more cohesive on the group in terms of length. We will look at this and determine who will do what as they are all together at dress rehearsal. 

Any questions, please ask Miss Andrea (particularly BEFORE PERMANENTLY ALTERING)
