Costume requirements for the Cues and Tattoos Crafting an ATS® Set Intensive

 Come dance with me at Cues and Tattoos 2016!

Let’s keep it simple and elegant: black skirt and choli or choli dress, any color pantaloon and hip shawl, and a headdress.
Coin bra and tassel belt optional. Headdress can be a hair garden, plait wrap or full headwrap.

Don’t buy anything: you probably have all of these items in your costume wardrobe, borrow them and bring extras if you can share.
Buy something: if you’d like to purchase any of these items, please visit: www.catalog.fcbd.com. We are happy to bring items up to Seattle if you order soon. Caveat: if you want a pair of taffeta pantaloons, Carolena needs to start sewing them now, so get that order in before you finish reading this email!
