we live at the studio

That must be fun - are you teaching dance?

basically a ballroom costume made for tap shoes.

Those ballroom costumes are crazy expensive here. My wife used to dance ballroom as a kid.

did you ever sew, or just design?

It was a long time ago, but I sewed also. My mum taught me as a kid a bit, and then I just muddled my way through for a bit :)
