Design and save a costume in Wardrobe

Open Wardrobe, choose Open the Designer, then edit the clothing pieces, pattern and color. Check the whole outfit, name it and select Save costume.

Before you start

Use the clothing pieces and design options available on your account. Read an event's outfit instructions first if you are preparing a specific competition look.

Choose the right wardrobe section

Wardrobe opens the Costume Studio. Open the Designer starts a custom look. Costumes is the area for the outfit your group competes in; Studio Wear changes everyday studio clothing. Collection lets you review the costume pieces you own.

  1. Open Wardrobe.
  2. Choose Open the Designer to create a look.
  3. Choose Headpiece, Top or Pants for the clothing section you want to edit.

Build a complete look

Choose an owned piece, then work through the available patterns and colors. Some options have a lock; use available options to finish the outfit rather than leaving the first design incomplete.

The live preview has Full and Up close views. A close view helps with details, while the full view lets you see whether the top, pants and headpiece work together.

  1. Select a piece in the chosen clothing section.
  2. Pick an available pattern and a color.
  3. Switch to another clothing section and repeat for the pieces you want to change.
  4. Check Full to review the entire outfit, then Up close for details.

Name it and save it

Give each saved look a distinct name so you can recognize the version you want later. The designer also shows your used costume slots, which helps you decide whether to make a new variation.

For an early design, a small color palette is easy to review across the complete outfit. Compare pieces together before saving instead of judging each one separately.

  1. Enter a name in Costume name.
  2. Select Save costume.
  3. Return to the Costumes area when choosing a competition outfit. Use Studio Wear for everyday clothing.
