It is also best to note the effect from both sides and from the back. An excellent way to judge the costume as a whole is to stand in front of a strong light so that only the shadow or silhouette of the figure is shown in the full length mirror. Silhouettes should have a general harmony of mass and line, and one strong point of interest. lolds '( . \ ... . . . KAPPA ALPHA OLD SOUTH BALL ...
