I’m early into the costume build for the big, ridiculous fan dance act. I’m working on a tearaway corset that “melts” off my body, using a technique a friend used a decade back. (She retired some years ago.) I’m staying quiet about it everywhere but here, because I don’t want to tip my hand. Also, it might not actually work the way I want.
Anyway, I’ll rhinestone the corset with crystal AB stones— clear stones that reflect light a bit like soap bubbles, giving a subtle rainbow fun. I’m still sorting out the unders. I found this fabric today that just might make an interesting panty front with a very strappy back. I have to see if ostrich boas snag on the pailletes or not. I don’t want to damage $1200 in feathers on my panties.
I’m really excited about the whole project. I might even hire a choreographer to help me with the act.
