    Default How do you feel about dancewear being bought for you?

    I am considering buying dancing clothes for my favorite dancer. How would you girls take this? Flattering, offensive, complimentary?

    As long as the dancer tries them on and likes them, and then you buy them it's worked out fine for me. ATF told me bluntly that sometimes a guy will buy her an outfit, if she has it along she will wear it in VIP, and when he leaves she'll trash it. Most of the stuff guys pick out for her she doesn't like. I gave her perfume. (her brand) and she wore it
    so that was a sucess. I gave her an electronic device and don't know yet if she is using it. I gave her some jewelry and she wears it
    and still has it so that was a sucess. I bought her some shoes once, and they fell apart so that didn't work. If I bought stuff in the club shop it was fine. Projection: She will wear your dancer outfit only when you are around, and junk it once you disappear.

    If its something that fit my style? HELL YEAH! and it would feel good that he thought enough to buy me something he thought I would enjoy. Now if it was Neon or rainbow color LOL...

    It really depends on the girl. I think it's sweet if a regular takes the time to think of their favorite dancer and get them something special.

    On another note I have a friend (internet) who sent me Victoria Secret Lingerie (sexiest outfit I have now) after asking me what I liked... he tested the waters and tried to get the best idea of what would look good on me. He also sent me a webcam... It was neat getting those in the mail on my birthday and showing him the new outfit try on over webcam...

    Get a good idea of what she likes and test her reaction to see if she's comfortable with it... if in doubt get her a gift certificate and ask her to show you what she got with it?

    I'd be flattered, but don't be surprised if she wears it 'only for you' or something, like Niceguy said. I might not throw something out, but if I don't think it works for me on stage, etc. you wouldn't see me in it all the time.

    I would be flattered if it were something that I looked good in, or something that was my style. if its like a costume, like Mary had a little lamb, I might be insulted because I wouldnt wear something like that. Best thing I say, is get her a gift certificate to a store she likes, and she can pick what she wants, and it will still be from you.

    It depends on whether or not I like the outfit. A lot of times customers don't have the same taste in clothes as I do. I like the gift certificate idea, or you could bring a catalog from a dancewear store into the club and have her circle a few outfits that she likes. Then from the outfits she chose, you could purchase one or two. That way she is still getting a surprise, but you know that it will be something that she will like. Make sure that you know what size she wears too; ask her if you're not sure.

    Gifts are always cool. Especially clothes. If I don't like the outfit I may never wear it, but I would still appreciate the thought if a customer bought me something.

    My club makes it very easy to buy an outfit for a dancer--theres a fully stocked dancewear store right next to the lockerroom! Buying an outfit for your favorite dancer is a very sweet thing to do, but you don't want to waste money on something that is not her style. A wonderful customer of mine brought in some catalogs for me, and had me circle what I liked and the sizes. I thought he was going to pick what he wanted to see me in out of what I circled, but he bought everything!! He was awesome, damn I miss him!
    The catalog idea is a great way to give her what she wants, even if it ruins the surprise a little. It's much better than trying to guess what she might like.

    At my club, the manager sells outfits and my customers buy me stuff all the time. It's awesome. I don't know too many dancers who would turn down or would be offended by getting a new costume....especially since they are so expensive. But I'd definately let her pick it out.... otherwise you will just be wasting your money. Otherwise at least get a good idea of her size and what she likes to wear on stage.

    Yup, take your dancer's measurements before buying (that must be a very yummy task)

    Hmmm i don't know. Not for me i guess if a guy wanted to buy me clothes to dance in. How would you feel if she was doing a ld for another customer in the clothes you bought her? Do you expect her to only wear these clothes for you?

    I lve it when my customers buy me outfits that they like. I like getting new costumes, they want to see me in it, I don't have to pay for it. Its a great arrangement really.

    I wouldn't buy her clothes, but I did buy an ATF some perfume that I liked and some bubble bath to relax with when she got home. She loved the scent, and she kept it in her locker so whenever I came in she would splash some on and come over to have me
    "sniff". It made me feel special that she ordered it just for me.

    I absolutely love getting presents from my special customers. Since I love dressing upthey generally have a good idea of my style. If you aren't really sure what your friend would like slip a few questions into the conversation. like what you faorite color, do you like Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood? and surprises are always nice. Even for outfits I haven't been too in love with I'd always wear it to V.I.P. when my special sweetie came in. But I always make sure that it's packaged well....one guy tried to get me to wear his favorite pair of well worn and "used by him" stockings----Obviously that didn't fly!

    I wish I could remember where I found this, but once I came across a website selling dancer clothing and you could create a wishlist ... like a gift registry.

    I love getting presents! It just makes my whole night, if not my whole week. I can't get enough of new costumes, so if it was something I liked even a little bit and it was flattering on, I would be delighted. :-)

    I've had several customers buy me things... and I ahve no issues with it at all... I have a shoe fetish guy who buys me shoes.. and he picks out some of the hottest shoes.. plus, shoes are the most expensive thing so I have NO problem with it...

    I say, if you wish to give your ATF a nice gift, she'll take it as a compliment... GO for it.

    I think it is a great idea... we have a costume lady who comes to our club every few weeks with new items the dancers can buy. If I really like a certain outfit I will often try it on and ask the opinion of some of my regular customers. Most of the time they love the costumer and offer to buy it for me!!! I love their kindness and generous attitudes, so my advice is go for it

    I have had a customer buy me dancewear before and i thought it was sweet. I actually do wear them too so i did put them to good use. They were birthday presents for me.

    My measurements are so crazy that buying me costumes isnt such a great idea. Ive had shoes bought for me, jewelry, lingerie,gift certificates, even makeup from the MAC counter. most customers realize that the money is more important then the gifts-although very nice. Paying bills is much more of a priority then makeup or jewelry.

    I love presents too. Any gift to show that a customer has thought about me enough to purchase a gift for me makes me smile. Espescially if the customer knows my taste in dancewear. That is so KEY when buying dancer clothes for girls. I have had customers buy me things my Mom wouldnt wear and that can be uncomfortable, though I still appreciated the thought. I think clothing is best when a customer has a dancer's taste and size pinpointed. Nothing worse than having to model a black girdle disguised as lingerie from an elderly customer.

    I use to get flowers my favorite orchids from a regular every week and it came on the same day he would come in so at least it gave me a clue to wear the stuff he bought me before. Gifts are nice but only if they know what I like...Heehehehe

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.
