T. If appropriate for the chosen music the lady and the man are permitted to wear trousers and sleeves of any length. Rule 3556 should apply. Decorations on costumes must be nondetachable. If a decoration or a part of the costume or hair decoration such as flowers, headbands, ribbons, etc., which are also part of the costume, falls on the ice during the performance, the costume deduction of 1.0 is required by the referee. Small props that are part of the costume and are characteristic for the chosen music are allowed (hats, head bands, ribbon). Props may not be thrown in any part of the program and/or passed from one skater to the other in any part of the program. The following types of props are not a part of the costume and are not permitted: cane (walking stick), umbrella, bouquet, etc. If used, the costume deduction will be applied.
