Pamela of PartyDancerz contacted me because she was having a difficult time finding someone locally to make her dance costumes within the budget of a fledgling small business. I have never really made a cheer uniform before, but I knew that the pattern drafting was straight forward and I'm a whiz at sewing lycra, so I bid it out and the rest is PartyDacerz history!
The uniform is fundamentally a sport bra and the skirt is a circle skirt built onto a pair of trunks with a yoke waist, the secrets are all in the details, such as the rouched sideseams on the waistband, or the point at the center front. The top went through multiple redesigns and ended up a very nice halter. I graded the patterns to universal sizes and I mix and match the top and the bottom pattern sizes for each dancer.
I am excited that we will be collaborating on future dance costumes! For more information about PartyDancers and to book them for your events check out their website .
