dance dress tips and ideas

[HelenaZF]

Sometimes even a cullotte doesn't give enough coverage, for instance if you are using moves that are very athletic or gymnastic. For those times, palazzo pants can be an appropriate garment. (Palazzo pants are wide-legged pants that drop to the floor with the same width as the hip or can even have a slight flare. They are often called elephant-leg pants.)



You can use your culotte pattern by lengthening and straightening the side and inseams from the hip down. I've notice that these can be purchased through various mail order sources in a lightweight knit for aroud $15, if you are not a sewing person.



Palazzo pants can be teamed with a tunic, vest, or ephod type overlay.
