I haven't danced in it but I've gardened in it and not fallen out!
I had to add darts under the bust and at the side of the bust, and had to take the shoulders up. But I made it out of muslin, so it wasn't hard. (I did fully line it-- white muslin for the first test, since I'd never sewn a garment before, then I took that apart and added a second layer of white eyelet cotton for pretty, for support, and for opacity. Since no seam is longer than about six inches, it took no time at all to put together twice.) It held up to a full 17-day stint at Pennsic and some hard duty in the garden. Just be careful you get ties that aren't slippery-- I used grosgrain ribbon ( ... )
