Pictured here is the Angel dress she wore for her extraordinary solo in the Dec 06 show "Leading Ladies of tango". Look closely to see the feather detail at the waist.

Anna is emerging as a world class solo musician. She is touring worldwide and releases her new CD this fall.

CLEANING WITH ALCOHOL
Stage costumes for the stage used to be cleaned at the underarms with Vodka . It can be more affective than water in some cases because it evaporates quickly. I found it very useful when cleaning a bridal dress for a client in an emergency.
Always test cleaning products in a decreet area first in case it leaves a circle

FASHION TIPS
What was voted the #1 tip for looking slimmer ?
Wearing black i am guessing would be your answer...
The # 1 top tip is "Custom fitting"
Whether its a tailored desinger made outfit or custom tailoring alterations made to a purchased garment.
SO REMEMBER next time you save money in the clearance sale - why not treat yourself to a few custom adjustments to trim that garment down and show your figure off to its best.
