Bust support is crucial in competition Ballroom, Country and Skate dresses.
After all, we spin, we bend, we stretch, we move in all sort of ways that do not happen in "real life".
The catch is that the bust support needs to be attractive because our bodies are on display and always being critiqued by judges and audience alike.
This week's blog is a Dress Breakdown featuring a dress I pulled off one of my Pinterest boards.
The inspiration has a lot of great design elements for a lean female figure, but it also has one of my pet peeves -- a horizontal bra strap. Ugh.
I chose this dress so I could offer examples of how to change this unattractive, unsupportive, dainty bra into something that looks great plus gives a lift to larger breasted women.
If you're a Latin/Rhythm dancer or a skater, don't let the ballgown skirt scare you away from watching the video!
The principles I demonstrate apply to every type of Dancesport, Country and Skate dresses. Salsa dresses too.
