« Return to The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Costume Critiques from the MSHSL Dance Team Tournament

Unsavory Article

As a dance parent, an avid follower of Minnesota High School dance and someone who has had my own daughter, compete at the high school level, I find it appalling that you would comment on the "tummy rolls," of other competitors.  Also watch the negative comments  you make towards high school athletes.  What if a student had designed that costume?   I also must wonder if you can be biased at all when writing this column because you have a company that makes costumes.  This article is any easy way for you to take jabs at dance teams that do not use your company.

My Quest - Flattering Costumes for ALL!

I point out in my blog that there are many flattering and nice looking, and even exciting costumes that are worn by dance teams that are not wearing Satin Stitches costumes.  I stated that the costumes in question made the dancers "look like they had tummy rolls".  They didn't - it was just a bad choice of cut/styling/design for those costumes.  I was pointing out that sometimes a design might look good in a sketch, but the actual outcome may not work out to be flattering.  I made no negative comments about the high school athletes.  High school dance team members are incredible athletes.  I have watched Minnesota dance teams compete for nearly 25 years.  I have the utmost respect for them, and continue to be in awe of all they accomplish.  I made a negative comment about BAD COSTUME DESIGN.  Biased? No, I just have a professional "eye" for good, bad, and ugly design, and hope to help others to be more aware of what might not be the best design!
