Costume Rules
An Coimisiun Notice of December 2003

The following rules refer solely to costumes worn in competition and do not refer to, nor are intended as a criticism in any way of less traditional forms of costumes made popular by stage shows.
The rules in relation to costumes are:
• Costumes must consist of a full front and back section i.e. cut away styles are not acceptable
• Materials must be of an equivalent weight to that used in the more traditional costumes e.g. dress velvet, trevira, gabardine, woolmix etc
• Skirt lengths: the minimum skirt length is not more than four inches above the knee level. It is hoped that the introduction of this rule will prevent the excessively short lengths recently witnessed.
• Neck lines must be collar-bone level or above. This does not preclude the use of alternative fabrics e.g. lace, as an inset.
• Where chiffon or lace material is used as sleeves, the sleeves must start at the shoulder line and end at the cuff.
• Appropriate underwear must be worn. Where tights are worn they must be of a denier of not less than 70.
• Dance-drama costumes must be in keeping with the theme of the story portrayed and conform to the rules above for solo and team competitions in the areas of fabric, hem and neck lines.

2006 - A new Costume rule is being introduced in many regions for dancers in the the two lower Grades i.e. Novice/Primary in UK, Bun/Tus Grad in Ireland & the equivalent grades in other countries) - Dancers are only permitted to wear either class costumes or day wear (e.g. skirts and tops) in competition

Other wear
• Makeup will not be permitted for any dancer in the first two grades up to and including the under 12 age group.

• The use of artificial carriage aids is strictly forbidden except in cases of a medical condition where a doctor's certificate may be requested. Any competitor found to be using artificial carriage aids & subsequently refuses to remove same, will be subject to disqualification from that particular competition. Medically prescribed apparatus (proof of which may be required) will be exempt from this ruling.

• Under no circumstances should dancers walk around any dancing venue in their underwear. Neither should dancers (regardless of age) change into or out of costume in the main dancing hall if at all possible. At all times, dancers must be properly attired.
