Pantaloons
Fit and Fabric
Pantaloons just might be the most genius costuming component in FCBD® Style! In this short, lively class, Monica and Lacey dig into the two things that make or break them: fit and fabric. You'll learn how a simple taper can transform the silhouette of your pantaloons and make them genuinely flattering, why length and inseam matter for both comfort and shaping, and how the right fabric gives your costume luxurious structure and real stage presence. Their motto says it all: make them long, make them heavy!
Whether you're sewing your own pair or tailoring a bought pair to fit, you'll come away knowing how to make pantaloons that feel good, move beautifully, and look stunning under the lights.
Your Instructor
Tournesol Adornment began in 2016 by husband and wife team Monica and Frank Zvonchenko who both share a deep passion for antiquities, rarities, and oddities. Monica had been studying bellydance with Florida Tribal Dance and had joined their Tribal Improv Troupe, Blue Caravan when she decided to take her love of costuming to the next level.
Flash forward to the start of 2018 and Florida Tribal Dance director, Lacey Sanchez was brought on board. Lacey and Monica share a deep love for the ritual of collecting all things old and well traveled. They each feel the act of making one's own costuming is an integral part of this unique artform. Committed to not only providing rare and special costuming pieces, Monica and Lacey also want to make Tournesol a resource to the community so that dancers have a reference for where items come from, their original uses, how to sew and utilize these pieces, and so much more.
The future is bright and like our name, Tournesol is French for Sunflower, we have our eyes looking up and out on all we have planned for the future.
So be sure to come by and say hello the next time you see us at your local event, we’ll be the ladies in hats!
