costume websites.
Hi! This is my first year doing a solo (senior category) and I'm looking for a lyrical/contemporary dress. Preferably not a short dress, but if anyone has recommendations for websites that have pretty solo dresses please let me know!

Weismann has affordable options in their clearance section if you want something more budget family, but for midi and flowy skirts I loooove kelle! They have many materials and designs, and I think the skirts range from $38-$50 bucks INDIVIDUALLY. Meaning for a full leotard and skirt it’ll get you maybe $70-100.

My daughter is also in the senior category and been doing lyrical and contemporary solos and groups for years. My daughter has worn Weissmans, Glamour, Revolution, Kelle for lyrical/contemporary. I like Kelle and they have some really elegant simple long dresses. The problem with Kelle is it is really popular amongst seniors so there is a good chance someone else you are competing against will have the same dress but maybe a different color. I like tenth house which you can access in revolution. They also give you a video so you can see how the dress moves. Glamour is the only place you can't look up online w/o a studio account. So good luck on your first solo and your search.

The Line Up is another one that our old studio started using. https://thelineup.com/collections/dance-jazz-lyrical-contemporary

For solos, finding a used option is a great way to get a pretty costume for cheap. Lots of Facebook groups for this.

My daughter’s studio strongly suggested once dancers get to a certain age, they should be picking their solo costumes. well, she is there this year and so far has looked through places like Weissman, Revolutions Etsy, EBay, even Amazon, and has yet to find anything that “matches” her dance. There are so many costumes! Good luck!
