    Default Where to buy outfits + how many do you really need??

    I danced for some time in another state but since my buddy can no longer work with me I'll be auditioning at clubs closer to me. I am fortunate that when I started she gave me a few of her outfits that didn't fit her anymore and let me borrow her shoes. But now I'm on my own and don't have many outfits and no shoes. In her area there was a store that sold all kinds of dancewear etc (altho kind of pricey) but there isn't anything like that in my area.

    I looked around on a few websites but it seems like buying so much stuff is going to add up. I don't mind splurging on a few outfits locally (there is Spencer's in my mall which has some usable stuff) & buying cheap for the rest of time online from overseas (I have found some on sites like Aliexpress, ebay, and Wish that would work well). I am also thinking in the meantime 1 pair of clear shoes that would match everything cause shoes are expensive af and I want those to be quality so they are less likely to break or wear.

    I have also heard of girls going to stores like walmart, tjmaxx and Burlington coat factory and finding stuff that works. What do you usually look out for when you do this? Love buying stuff in person so I can make sure it fits. (I usually order online and alter myself to fit if needed but if I can skip the 2nd step, why not.)

    And the last question, I will be dancing longterm. So how many outfits do I really need if i'm working (preferably) at least 3 times a week?

    Sorry for the long ass post any help is appreciated!! <3

    In Dallas, most of the Dancer stores are found within 5 minutes of each location that I danced in. Asked some of the dancers where they got their outfits from if they are cute to you. My housemom sold some and so did some of the dancers. I sweat sooo much that it's ridiculous so I changed my outfit around 3 or 4 times in an 8-hour shift. I have about 6 tops and 3 bottoms but alot of g-strings. I really just mix-and-match.

    sale sections of discountstripper.com , upscalestripper.com (has a $10 section), weekly deals on lingeriediva.com are the best spots online. Etsy is great for custom/unique stuff.

    Honestly wouldn't bother with aliexpress, wish or ebay (unless you are buying handmade outfits on ebay), basically those sellers steal pics from j valentine, espiral, roma etc and then sell a knockoff Chinese version that won't fit well on anybody. The only time I'd recommend them is if there's a discontinued outfit from one of those brands that you MUST have and are willing to gamble that you're gonna waste the money.

    Personally I can't wear bottoms more than once without washing them so if I was working 3x a week and didn't want to do laundry I'd need 3 outfits, plus one spare to have in the bag in case somebody spills a drink or something. Some girls will wear the same outfit multiple times, Some girls will have a nice bra or two and then just swap out bottoms. Just depends on your preference and the club.

    We have tons of stuff on sale right now, particularly separates (tops and bottoms to mix and match). You can also use code 'HEARTS' for $10 off your order and US shipping is always free.

    Our backstory in a nutshell: I've been dancing for nearly 9 years now and started a small dancewear company in college. We primarily sell in clubs in central PA but most of our stuff can be found online as well. Apologies for my terrible mannequin photography - I am in my last year of grad school and it is all I have time to manage at the moment...! If there is anything you are looking for or have a question about we can be found on facebook, twitter, and instagram as ellesdancewear.

    Thanks! We try to get in things that are quality but still affordable. We carry over two dozen companies including Pleaser, Roma, J. Valentine, etc... I just only post what we physically have in stock as far as outfits go. Because we are so small and sell primarily in clubs we typically only have a few of each style so even getting those posted is a feat sometimes. So if you'd like to see shoes (Pleaser, Ellie's, Tony, Karo, Highest Heel) listed or are looking for a particular thing I can add those to the site or at least provide some options. I'm not on SW much but can always be reached elsewhere @ellesdancewear
