The Essential Studio Guide to Kellé Dance Costumes: Sizing, Ordering, and Care Advice

Take a closer look at The Essential Studio Guide to Kellé Dance Costumes: Sizing, Ordering, and Care Advice in this comprehensive feature.

Q1: What should I do if a dancer's measurements fall across three different sizes?

A1: Default to the girth measurement first. If the girth falls cleanly into a size Intermediate Child, but the chest matches a Small and the hips match a Medium, order the Intermediate Child. Fitting the torso length prevents the garment from pulling uncomfortably, and a tailor can easily take in the side seams at the bust or waist.

Q2: Can individual parents order directly from the Kellé costume catalog?

A2: Kellé primarily operates as a business-to-business vendor catering directly to studio directors, dance teams, and educational institutions. Individual parents generally cannot place single-item custom orders. Programs submit bulk orders under a studio account to secure group costume discounts and maintain unified manufacturing dye lots across the ensemble.

Q3: How do we fix loose rhinestones that fall off before a competition?

A3: Keep a dedicated repair kit in the studio road box. Use an industrial, flexible fabric adhesive such as E6000 Fabri-Fuse or Gem-Tac. Apply a small dot of glue using a toothpick, place the crystal with wax-tipped tweezers, and press lightly. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before packing the garment back into its performance bag.
