Hmmm you may be right about that stitching being the mic pouch itself, the pack showing through the fabric would support that theory, it seems to line up. But it's very obvious, both the outline of the mic and the stitching, when it can be done absolutely invisibly simply by placing the pack higher up on the collarbone! I wonder why they decided to do it that way, rather than higher and neater with either the separate belt or the pouch set into the shoulder fastening.

If you come across a clear photo of Cassandra's mic pack, it'd be useful to add here!

Also, if we can find citation for "Safe Sound", it'd be well worth adding. The story goes, that Cats was revolutionary in requiring its performers to be triple threats - we know this. But they ran into technical difficulties given hot and sweaty dancers needing the mic packs close to their bodies - the solution was to use condoms over the electrical equipment, keeping it dry and clean! But it's a story I've heard repeated so often it might be an urban legend...
