FITTINGS & ALTERATIONS

COSTUME DISTRIBUTION AND FITTING

During costume distribution, your teacher will be checking that the costume is being worn correctly and fits your dancer. IF your teacher recommends alterations, please come early or plan to stay after class during Alterations Week.

Alterations Specialists will be available at the studio the week of:

March 23rd - 28th | Friendswood

March 30th - April 2nd | Pearland

If you received a recommendation for alterations, please arrive early to class or stay after and have your dancer change into their costume. They can then go to the back office for it to be fitted by a seamstress. Costumes will be altered after the fact and ready for pickup prior to picture week. We will notify you when they are available for pickup.
