Costume FAQ & Size Submission
Q1. DO I GET A COSTUME FOR THE UPCOMING SHOW?
Yes! Each student will be provided a costume.
Q2. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO GET A COSTUME?
Yes! All students of all age groups (including Bacha Party) need to submit measurements in order to get a costume. If you are a returning student, you are also required to follow the new process below! In an effort to improve overall costume fit, we are now taking measurements of each student instead of using generic sizes as we have done in the past!
Q3. WHEN SHOULD I SUBMIT MY COSTUME SIZE?
You should submit your measurements by end of day Tuesday, March 20th 2012. If this date has passed, please refer to question 5 below.
Q4. HOW DO I SUBMIT MY COSTUME SIZE?
You need to do two things to determine and record your size:
i) Review what measurements we need from you by selecting the appropriate guide: Girls/Women || Boys/Men
ii) Enter your measurements into the form located here.
If you are entering measurements for multiple members in your family, please enter a separate submission for each person.
Q5. WHAT IF I DIDN'T ENTER MY MEASUREMENTS ON TIME, CAN I STILL GET A COSTUME?
When we don't receive measurements for students, we order a generic large size costume in the age group of the class the student is in. The costume may or may not fit you, and if alterations are required, getting this done is the student's responsibility. Please email the costume team immediately and copy your instructor on the email to let them know you did not submit your measurements. Depending on how far into the costume production process we are, we will try our best to accommodate your measurements.
Q6. I AM CONFUSED ABOUT MY MEASUREMENTS, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Review the tips and photos listed in the guides for Girls/Women or Boys/Men in detail and if your questions aren't answered, email the costume team and we will guide you so you can submit accurate measurements!
Q7. IF I FILLED IN THE WRONG MEASUREMENTS OR NEED TO UPDATE WHAT I FILLED IN, WHAT CAN I DO?
You can re-submit your measurements. We will use the latest entry.
Q8. HOW MUCH DOES THE COSTUME COST?
The costume fee is included in the class cost already paid by you and no additional payment is required.
Q9. WILL I NEED TO PROVIDE ANY PART OF MY COSTUME?
Some costumes may require 'basics'. Basics include items like: white or black shoes, a tank top or simple tshirt, a pair of leggings to wear under a skirt, etc. These 'basics' are usually items already owned by the students or which can be purchased at a very nominal cost. Also these basics are useful additions to most wardrobes!
Q10. WHY DO I NEED TO PROVIDE BASICS?
Basics are sometimes required to complete a costume look and also make the students more comfortable on stage. Since students perform in a group, basics lend to making the class looking uniform and 'put together' on stage! These basics add a finishing touch and creates a visual uniformity which greatly enhances the overall presentation. Specific details regarding basics will be sent to you by your instructor.
Q11. MY COSTUME FITS ME, BUT NOT PERFECTLY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Our goal is to provide each student with the best fitting costume as possible. When buying a piece of clothing at a store, one may have to alter the length, take the waist in slightly or perhaps adjust the sleeve to make the length more suitable. To achieve a perfect fit, you may have to make slight adjustments to your costume. If you are having significant issues with your costumes, we are here to help. Please do get in touch with us immediately.
Q12. WHERE CAN I SEND MY IDEAS FOR COSTUMES, SPECIAL REQUESTS, ISSUES, ETC?
Email us with any costume suggestions, ideas or any special requests you may have. We would love to hear from you and we will try our best to accommodate your requests. Please try to send these ideas to us before the costume measurement deadline so we can work on possibly incorporating your ideas.
