I find this so funny that a movie that was hip when I was a little kid is stumping people as far as fashion goes!.

Keep it simple - unitard, v-neck better as you saw a lot of those i nthe 80's!.!.!.!.!.!.different colored tights, toes cut out!. Legwarmers - again, different color!.

I'd like to say the 80's were about bright colors!. Fushia, neons!.!.!.but it wasn't!. Thos dance costumes from the movie were boring like navy, maroon, grey!.!.!.:P But it's 2008, how many people will be THAT genuine!?!? Stikc to the style, you should be fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Though I should, being a theatre designer, I don't know much about this particular musical!. I suggest that you Google the 1980's in many different ways!. I have a few pictures below but keep looking!.

also, keep in mind that the 1980's were very much about the hair!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Loose, off the shoulder bright with a completely different colourd singlet
Bubble skirts
Leg warmers
High top converses
