Hi ladies,
I've used this forum for a lot of great advice on the industry, but this is my first post! I'm in the process of designing some new dancing gowns tailored to the needs & wants of exotic dancers & would love input. I work in San Francisco and although I am not new to using gowns myself, I feel like the majority of the market is on the east coast in places like NY. I am coming up with sketches of my thoughts to share soon, but wanted to see what kind of initial response there was, i.e. are people even interested in them.
My plan is to specialize in handmade, unique gowns rather than mass produced and sell small-scale on a storefront like etsy. I favor more upscale, glamorous (and sometimes old Hollywood or pinup gone stripper) designs, but am curious to the styles or style nuances (like color or shape) that you would like to see. Obviously one of the most important aspects of a beautiful gown besides fit is how easy it is to take off & perform in. That aside, what would you pay extra for in a dress? Custom fittings, or designs? If you could have a gown custom made for you, what would you want it to have??
What do you think of rhinestone-crusted dresses (partially or dotted throughout), provided they're well made and not extremely heavy?? Would they be too obnoxious to dance in (snagging etc) or are they worth it? Sequins? What would you pay for a unique, well made gown? $200-$250? Less? I am also aware that the more high end or glamorous gowns may be in very little to no demand -- let me know what you think. Some of these questions are a bit open-ended, so thanks for taking the time to read and share your thoughts. I am hoping to make a good product that can make everyone's lives easier. Hopefully I will have some sketches to share soon. Happy holidays to all...
xx
