A lot of people start with a Kwik Sew skater costume pattern, IIRC.  It's design for four-way stretch fabric, so it works as a good base for a ballroom costume.  Let me google.  I shall return. Smiley

Woulda  thunk?  McCalls bought Kwik Sew.  Shocked

Anyway. Yep.  I'm pretty sure these are the right patterns .  Not sure hat machine you use -- a regular sewing machine or a serger -- but these patterns use the right types of fabric,  IMO. Smiley
