| Interesting issue about attire. When I am hearing opera auditionees, it does not bother me one way or the other about pants. However, I am distracted by cinched belts (especially over clingy knits and when the singer is not athletically sleek), and a short skirt above flesh colored legs. Suits with a belt around jacket are hard to pull off, must look trim, not indented. And a black dress does not hide a lumpy body.....if there is a weight problem, the clothing should skim, not outline and contour. |
