How does the beading stay on the Dancing with stars dresses?

Posted on Monday in dancing with the stars | by


The sequins and beads are hand sewn to the dress…

And the dresses are repaired FREQUENTLY !!!

I was a stage-hand for an amusement park theater in the 70′s & 80′s, and we had MANY sequinned / beaded costumes… they were hauled away each night by the costumers: dry-cleaned, repaired, and pressed.

Costumers had a 8pm to 4am shift… YUCK

    it take lots and lotsof time. everything is done by hand, and they have many people working on them.
