Support for bigger busted dancer?

Question

I'm looking for either a leotard or body shaper to wear under my costumes when I dance. I have a large bust and I have some extra love in the stomach area :) Is there something that won't make me sweat like crazy?

Answer 1

I have big boobs as well :) here's what i do:

Class:

Sports Bra under leo-who cares if the straps show.

Comps/Concerts:

Depending what costume it is I either wear stick on bra (chicken fillets) or a sports bra but I do have to pin the bra to the costume

I actually know a girl who sewed bra cups into the costume? Haven't tried it myself so I don't know how that would go...

There is really nothing to keep you in place, its pretty much bra or no bra :) Even if you cant wear a sports bra just a normal bra with clear straps would be fine.

And as for the sweating thing-the less layers you wear the less you'll sweat :)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1. Most of the time. 2. Arms (i.e wrists and hands), but the eye shouldn't be distracted from or to anything. 3.Yes and No, as if people turn up to a preformance they won't be thinking about what you look like, as long as it suits the dance, however you cannot help but be self-concious if you look terrible. 4. Restriction of Movement DEFO Too hot 5. It depends what the preformance was, but anything up to £100 if it was perfect and i HAD to buy it! lol 6. I don't like long skirts, as they restrict movment often, and i love dancing in tutu's as it makes you feel really pretty and like a proper ballerina on a massive stage! Good luck for your GCSE! x

Answer 3

might try some of those sports ace bandages,i know a girl that used that an she had large breast an few extra love handles, she looked good in her prom dress

Answer 4

We always used duck tape for performances. One person spun me around, i held the girls, and the other person held the tape.sounds painful but i never had bouncing boobs on stage!
