Looks good to me! Interesting that you favour the fabric collars for men's ballroom. I've always been advised to avoid them and go for plastic ones instead as they are more easily cleaned (wipe them off) etc. but I'll give the fabric ones a go....

I certainly agree on washing the bow-ties and waist-coats. I've just noticed how terrible mine look at the moment!

I know lots of girls who are not happy with their costumes but no-one seems to know how to go about making ballroom dresses themselves. You mention that you made a couple, how did you learn? And do you have any advice for people, where to get the correct shapes from etc. etc.?

Anyway, many thanks for putting the list up!

PS if anyone has not seen it, it's on the IVDA homepage under the menue point "IVDA -> Features". Probably especially useful for new people before their first competition...
