It quickly became a tradition to recycle, redo, or create from scratch, the costumes for my daughters’ solo dances. We all enjoyed the process, and we saved LOTS of money. We were also able to get what we want, rather than having to settle for something out of the costume catalog. Recorded here is the process we went through to get to each of our final costumes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
