    Default Everything is black!

    I just placed an order at . FYI, $200 is enough money to set up a basic wardrobe at this store, the prices are amazing.
    But, most of the stuff I ordered is black. Materials and cuts vary, but, apart from one pink and one burgundy item, everything else is black (even the two costumes included in the order, a belly dancer outfit and something else, rather generic). Adding that to the outfits that I already own (yes, you guessed right, black lace, black satin and rhinestones), it produces a total sum of... BLACK.
    Have you got any experimental data on dancers in black? I feel that I have overdone it a little bit , and that it might affect my sales.
    My next "assignment" is in July. So, if you wise and experienced people believe that I ought to add some colour, there is still time.

    I wear almost everything in black because I'm so pale, and have black-dyed hair. Gives me sort of a gothy look.

    The general consensus seems to be that black is very popular! I actually love black not because of its properties (the illusion of being thinner; besides, one does not stay covered under black lace for long), but because I have positive experiences associated with it. The very first time I ever went on a stage at 12 (it was just for a classical song contest), I was also dressed in black, the outfit out of which I stripped (in private) for the first time was black, and so on. I just fear it becomes blunt, especially in big clubs with many girls wearing black.

    I love black! It all depends on what you look good in I guess. Most of the colors cinnamonkisses mentioned would make me look sickly.

    i used to never wear black...i just started wearing it recently, and i love it actually. i have red streaks in the front of my hair so i wear red thongs, and a black shorts set. i love black but i think you should wear an accessory or something to make yourself stand out.

    I think black is awesome. I guess it would depend on your coluring though, I'm darker skinned and black would make me fade into the background more in a smoky, dim club. But white and paler colours on african americans/dark ladies stands out and is stunning IMO.

    It's all about contrast

    black and rhinestones all the way! I feel the best in black, so my sales show. I'ld say about 30-50% of the girls in my club wear mostly black. I think it makes us look classy (not that other colors don't look very sophisticated as well). But I bank in black, and I definately don't blend in! Those neon type green or orange bikinis freak me out. I like to reveal less untill I've been PAID to show skin! A bikini or something caqn give too much away, but the looks on my custys faces while I slowly peal off that long black gown... priceless.. well, not really!!!

    Not to say I don't wear color sometimes, but it's rare (think costume night)! Also, everything is interchangable when it's the same color. So I never feak out looking for that one thong to wear with my tourquoise or w/e outfit. I've always got a clean black one!

    And I get tons of compliments on it. Besides, wearing the same cfolor may help custys remember you as the "beauty in the black dress who I had so much fun in VIP with"

    Black is a good, dramatic colour (yes, dramatic). I like black but I do vary with colour.

    If you have many black outfits, it is generally the easiest colour to customise (especially if the outfit if PLAIN black). You can experiment with marabou (faux fur), multicoloured costume rhinestones, beads, tafetta, and so on. You have to be keen and you have to be imaginative. Some outfits can look awesome with a li'l customising and look more expensive if done right. It also helps to prevent anybody copying your style. If you can add different coloured bits and pieces onto maybe a few of your outfits, you may need less to buy other coloured outfits.

    However, it doesn't hurt to experiment with colour - you don't want to make black your crutch. I don't know your hair colour, but blonds look like they can kill in red and Green on brunettes is awesome. But then again, that's my opinion!

    I use to wear a lot of black when I first start dancing. Now I like to wear a lot of white, yellows and greens with my hair being blonde and eyes being green. In our dark club if you are dark complected and wear black you will not be seen. Most girls at our club wear color because it's hard to stand out without it and we have a lot of attractive women.

    No black for me, but I think that is the consensus among dancers with darker skin. Even if you're caramel (like me), you still can't do black, I think.

    I'm a black girl (although more of the lighter skin variety, probably like yourself), and I'm the opposite as I do wear black from time to time. Although I understand what you mean when you say this, I really think at times it depends. I believe I can get away with it more because I'm lighter than the other black girls at my club, and I don't 'fade' into the background. However, if it's busy, I often make a concious decision not to wear black so I stand out. I also won't wear black if lots of other girls (regardless of their skin colour) are wearing it.

    In the corporate world black is a dominating colour! There is a reason for this, it says i command authority! Sales black suits work fine for women as well.

    There is a reason why black dominates in the corporate world! They move UP!

    Same with sales. Black is just a HOT but commanding colour!

    Red does good, but has a playful edge that sends a message at times (imo) that you are not too serious about a person. This would be your customer in the club!

    This is a course i was taught about basic colour clothes and what people look for!
    As for the red comment...i believe it works well. But nothing beats a woman in black!

    Look at the majority of sexual ads....the have black sexy clothing on in over 75% of them...top of the list! Or a banner if not nude.

    I love black and dark colors. There was this BEAUTIFUL woman I worked with a few years ago who wore black ALL the time. She even made special black wrist bands. That coupled with her amazing accent and long black hair was just... WOW!
