the last thing I want to do is order yet another skirt.

I do NOT need another useless skirt in my wardrobe.

but - I'll probably order one of each  - ugh- the cotton and the satin.

I was looking at the group performance shot  and realized that 3 of the 7 were dressed in satin circle skirts.  And I own one so that would make 4 of us with satin circle skirts.... so only 3 people would need them AND it would look really cool in multiple colours.

Here you can see all the skirts. (only six of us for this number...)



Now...I'm in center white  - but I HAD been planning to wear gold until I decided that the gold in my top looked HORRID with the gold in my skirt so without time to remake a top - I went with a different white skirt.

You can see we have a range of sizes, teeny to plus size.  The two ladies on either sides of me - light blue chiffon & royal blue satin are two of my very best dancers.  I had them wearing black tops because it is easy to get people to agree on black even if it isn't the best for show & sparkle.


I'm thinking that if I can get 3-4 more satin skirts in bright colours... silver, gold, bright pink & light blue... then we'll have a unifying look.  I'd rather get all jewel tones, emerald green, fushia and maybe orange instead of the gold, silver & light blue but.. hey.  not available and I do not want to sew them... for everyone.

BUT I'd really like to have EVERYONE in the cotton skirt.  It's too bad the colours are so limited.

I've left messages for two of the dancer - one that NEEDS a satin circle skirt desperately (because I'd like to order the colour that she likes as a test.)

and the one  in the Royal Blue satin  since  I usually talk to her about costuming decisions - because she's the hardest to fit AND she is into costuming almost as much as I am... and neither one is getting back to me!!!!

AUGH

Why is it when you want someone to email you immediately it takes DAYS to hear from them if at all.

ps.  Here's a group shot from the same night.

The up side of the cotton skirts is that you can dye them, if you want to go that route. And dying something a solid color is easy, I know a lot of people just do it in their washing machine.

I feel you on the not wanting to sew - my last skirt took AGES, but then, the bottom edge was something like 35 yards around!

*sends you good 'people getting back to you' vibes*

Patience, grasshoppah. ;) Maybe they're out Christmas shopping.

The skirts in those photos look really nice, but are they a mix of satin and chiffon? (Your top looks really cute, too. :))
