Tiffany Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I saw these Harmonie mercure pants on sale and am wondering if anyone has tried them, since I can't return them if I buy them and I won't have a chance to try them on. I have some of Harmonie's amplitude viola pants (see picture at top), but they fall down a little bit, so I thought that the mercure pants might stay up better, since they have a belt. If you have any other suggestions for warm-ups that stay up well, please post! Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 My solution would be to provide your own belt. Get an inexpensive web belt off the rack, and use that for holding up all sorts of things. Quote Link to comment
Tiffany Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sounds like a good idea, but I guess I will then have to come up with belt loops! Quote Link to comment
Guest BalletBrat Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 To hold up my wool tights I cut the waist band out of old pink tights , put that around my waist over the tights, and then fold the excess down over the belt, it really works great and then I am not wandering around the studio hiking up my britches. You can also use a hip alignment belt, if you have one. Quote Link to comment
missvjc420 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I use a wider hip alignment belt. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I allow hip alignment belts in my class - as long as they're worn around the waist! Wear the belt at the waist, hike the leg-warmers or whatever up over them, tuck the excess under the belt, then roll the belt once, hiking up the whole assembly one last time. Quote Link to comment
Guest BalletBrat Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Mel, you just brought up my biggest pet peeve! I can not stand seeing those belts down around the hips, yes, it is a HIP alignment belt, but it is to be worn around the waist! Gads. Sorry, just had to vent. Quote Link to comment
missvjc420 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 That's exactly it, Mel! Quote Link to comment
