So let me throw this out then: (kind of off the original question, but....)

Can a skilled and talented dancer raise the level of an otherwise marginal costume? (could she hide or work the "flaws") Or can an inexperienced dancer lower the "classiness" of a great costume. (would the costume emphasize the dancer's flaws)
=
Or, put another way:
Would a really great dancer be pulled down by a not-so-great costume? (not be able to "save" the costume")
Would a not very good dancer be raised by a great costume? (would the costume help cover up her flaws, or emphasize them?)

I think the answers are obvious, but it's interesting to explore....
