what's the casting for?
an overpriced tee is always an option.
pulled back unless hair is a major feature

Maybe you could ask the question in one of your other threads on NYC castings?

CALM DOWN you sound like a teenager just asked to the prom by the quaterback.  It's just a casting, wear the skirt and heels and a form fitting top of any kind it can be a T and wear a long sleeve shirt over it unbuttoned,  No big hair- they will ask you to pull it back, shake it out etc if they want to see a different look.  Remember at least in the TV commercial world you hope for 1 job for every 100 castings.

The casting is for the couture fashionweek (as announced on my profile).

I spoke with Keri two days ago already and explained what she needs.

I guess she's too excited... LOL

She'll be fine.

If you are new at this, KEEP IT SIMPLE. Nothing screams un-experienced more then a girl walking in dressed head to toe in Mandees with everything matching 'just right.' (Of course, I'm not saying that's you... hehe)

Keep things form-fitting - but not so tight it looks slutty.

You want them to see you, not an outfit with way too much going on. smile

Good luck smile
