In Breaking Pointe season 1, episode 5 titled "Bad Dress: Good Show," tensions are high as the dancers prepare for the premiere of the ballet performance of "The Sleeping Beauty." While the ballerinas are anxious about their performance and perfection, the costume department faces its own set of challenges.

The production has a tight budget, and the wardrobe team must rush to finish the costumes before the opening night. With just hours to go, the dancers are informed that they will have to wear incomplete costumes, with some missing pieces, zippers, and hooks. The dancers are disappointed, as they believe the incomplete costumes may disrupt their performance, but they have no choice but to make do with what is available.

As the dancers work through costume mishaps, the show takes an intimate look at their lives offstage. Ballet West member Rex brings his girlfriend, Tiler, to meet his family in Texas. The couple is in a long-distance relationship, and Tiler is excited to finally meet Rex's family.

While the costume fits, she feels uncomfortable and self-conscious about her body in it. However, her partner Ian reminds her that she looks beautiful and encourages her to embrace her body.

As the dancers continue to rehearse, under the watchful eye of their demanding director, they must also handle the stress of minor injuries and illnesses. Allison is worried about a bruise on her foot, but she refuses to sit out of rehearsals. Christiana, on the other hand, has fallen under the weather and worries about being able to perform at her best.

As opening night approaches, the dancers acknowledge the challenges they have faced but remain optimistic about the show. With the help of the wardrobe team, they make the best of the incomplete costumes and put on a stunning performance of "The Sleeping Beauty."
