Day Uniform Alterations

This year we were able to get a fantastic deal on our day uniform dresses. We are super excited and think that everyone will look great. The sizes are a little big on some of the girls, and we want to make sure that our whole team looks their very best, so we are turning the alterations process over to each girl individually. Your dancer will receive their dress today (Wednesday) and will be responsible for having them altered by Monday, August 1st.

Many of the girls will only need a hem up at the bottom, but others will need more extensive alterations. To help with the cost, we will knock $25 off of your dues. Your next payment, due on July 14th, will now be for $175.

When altering the dress, here are a couple rules to follow:

• The length of the dress should be just above the knee, no shorter than two finger widths above the knee cap. Please make sure that it is not too short, but that it does hit right above the knee.
• Pay close attention to the arm pit area - please make sure it is tight to the skin. 

Each girl will try on their dress in August to get their alterations passed off. If you have questions about specific alterations, please give us a call or leave a comment in the comment section below.

Thanks!
