Having the right circus costumes will play a major role in debuting your new circus act. You should know the most important things to consider when choosing your costume.
Does the costume keep your breasts contained?
It might feel and look great when you are side up on the ground but what will happen when you are rotating through the air and hanging upside down? You should therefore make sure the girls remain put.
Does it protect you from a rope burn?
You can have a pretty costume but it is useless if it is not sturdy. You should ensure your costume covers any bits of you that the silks or rope rub across and ensure that the material is thick to prevent it from ripping or melting.
Will the costume get caught in the equipment?
When buying costumes online, you should ensure that the costume you buy does not get caught in the equipment during a performance. If your costume is not skin tight or if you have bits that stick out, have a colleague stand by with a pair of scissors for your first runs in costume.
Choose the right colour
You should consider the colour of the silk that you are performing on. Is it the exact colour of your costume or does it clash with your costume? You should avoid dark colours such as black and grey because most theatres are black and dark costumes won’t show well. You should beware of white costumes at specific times of the lunar cycle.
Sparkles
Sparkles can be beautiful but sometimes they get into your eyes as you perform. You should consider this when choosing a sparkly costume.
Wear the right underwear
When choosing circus costumes, you should consider the type of underwear you will be wearing. With some materials, it is better to not wear any underwear.
