Costume Fitting Guide

Costume season is when a studio's calm, organized fall can turn into a flood of texts about sizes, deadlines, and who owes what.

Most of it comes down to a handful of questions parents ask again and again: When are fittings? What size is my dancer? How much is this going to cost? What are we supposed to buy on our own?

Whether you order costumes for every class or only for your competitive teams, a few small habits in the fall can keep the questions manageable and the families on your side. This guide covers simple ways to run costume and fitting season without the chaos.
