Basic Wear to Practice

Do you step on them, or your partner? :cool:

So you do not step on the competition dress, which is supposed to be longer?

they are still ok for practice I think (still using them) but I have a new one so I think I can get rid of it soon.. :) I always step on practice skirts, dont know what it is... even when I get them way too short..

not sure, maybe because the stretchy fabrics get caught on the heel, but all my gown skirts are satin or chiffon.. no idea.. I step on them, my partner never does, it's many inches above the floor
 
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. ;)

I've stepped on my gowns ocasionally, but very very rarely.. in practice its almost every other long wall :)
 
Finally broke down and bought real dance trousers - wasnting finding slacks long enough and my attempts to make them were not turning out the way I wanted. Today's high performance knits can do things more traditional fabrics just couldn't... and they handle being tossed in a bag better. Unfortunately, they don't air dry very well, may have to risk the dryer.

Trying to think of a comparbly crumple-resistant solution for shirts...

We had a formal dance once, and I wore a long gown. Not long to where it touched the floor or anything like that, but it was long enough to be stepped on. It was the worst lol.
 
I just wear what I wear into office (lessons are during lunch break or right after work). Definitely not always ideal. Mostly fitted dress shirts, which is no prpoblem, but at times will wear jeans or baggier khakis, which annoys teacher when we're workign on tangos because she can't tell if I'm keeping knees "soft"

Where did you get your dance trousers... have been shopping for a pair for DH, but have been unsure about what to get and where... long enough is an issue for him as well, as he tall and thin. And georgeous. But I digress... send/post a link for me?
