Trapeze Costume

I had no luck at either of the stores that I went to yesterday. Between both stores, there was only 1 real "costume", and it didn't work for me. I did learn something, though. I fit very well into a variety of adult size small leotards. Also, I learned that I don't like ones that have a scoop back (not enough support).

So, I decided my best bet was online. I went to several websites, but I had success with pumpers.com (a site that my trapeze instructor recommended). It was a crazy time consuming process. How did I know what would look good on me? The costumes were all in the $80-$90 range, so I didn't feel like spending so much on something that might not work. Plus, there were so many choices - what fabrics, what styles. Then, I saw the clearance section. That was a godsend for me. There was a limited selection, with pre-defined colors. There were a number of possibilities in Adult Small. And, the best part was that they were 1/3 of the price of non-clearance costumes. So, I bought 4! It cost less than the price of 2 regularly priced costumes. And, I'll have a selection, so something is bound to fit and be flattering on me.

These are the costumes I bought. I'm not sure how much longer the links will work, since they are on clearance. The bad part is that the site says that the ship date is Dec 12th. So, I called and left a voicemail and e-mailed to see if I can get them shipped sooner. Since they're on clearance, I would imagine that they're already made and ready to go. I e-mailed my instructor, and she thinks they're all beautiful and that one is bound to work out.

It was a stressful process. But, I'm so glad I found that clearance section. Otherwise, it was too much of all my eggs in one basket. I spent probably a couple of hours scouring the web trying to find a costume. So, I'm glad this process is finished!
