RE: Elastic

My brand new Eman has a section of the chest band that is elasticised. After altering it to fit me, it amounts to maybe 1 inch of stretchy section. It's covered with coordinating lycra and I have to say it makes the costume soooooo comfortable. Just having that extra "give" when I do a big hip circle makes a difference. So, If you're willing to check up on your costume regularly (which you should check everything out anyways prior to a performance), I don't see anything wrong with using elastic. At least around the chest part...not so sure you need elasticised shoulder straps.
