I've combed a lot of newbie threads, stripperwear threads, stripperwear for newbies threads, but a few questions, for me, have still lingered.
Obviously in the case of full nude/topless clubs, your dance wear needs to be able to be removed fairly easily, and I've seen that mentioned. However, I haven't seen many tips on how to find easy to remove lingerie/dancewear. Short of suggesting things that secure with a tie, what kind of closure mechanisms should I be looking for that will likely be easy to remove in a dance setting? I've tried shopping for primarily tie-closure garments, or front closure bras for example, but I find that none of what I see available really fits my aesthetic or would be flattering to my body type.
Which leads me to my next question, which is what to do when the existing trends in dancewear really don't look good on you. I'm a pale redhead, and relatively small-chested. Those qualities seem to zap a LARGE percentage of dancewear options just because it doesn't look good on me (neons and animal prints look cheap and out of place with my overall coloring, and slingshots/one-pieces and many of the popular cuts of tops minimize my chest a LOT). I love lingerie, and I find tons that looks good on me...but I generally feel most of it wouldn't exactly fit/be functional in a club setting, and it also tends to be rather monotonous in the sense that everything I own is comprised of maybe 3 main colors (black, light pinks, and darks like burgundy/navy). Something tells me that that kind of vibe just wouldn't be enough to stand out in a club setting. I don't want to look bland or, as I read one user describe it "just your girlfriend if she tried".
I also wonder about the usability of specific items, or advice about wearing them. Would you recommend or discourage the use of a waist-cincher or corset in a club outfit? Something such as an underbust or waspie that could be worn regardless of removal of top/bottoms. Or have you noticed customers like/dislike them, or find them impractical? How do you maneuver with wearing a garter belt, do you simply wear your underwear over it, do you recommend against them?
These questions may seem stupid/silly, and perhaps it's because they seem silly that I haven't been able to find answers thus far. I'm just trying to develop and hone my outfits/aesthetic for beginning dancing, and I seem to run into these hurdles.
If it matters at all, I would describe my aesthetic when it comes to apparel/lingerie as a combination of a classic/pinup/burlesque concept with a subtle BDSM influence. So if anyone has specific advise about translating that into dancewear, that would be a MAJOR bonus.
