Accessorizing Customized Apparel

When performing in dance competitions, special consideration must be taken with the accessories chosen for the costume that is to be worn. Customized apparel used for ballroom dancing is often created from very delicate fabric that will snag easily. In addition, the creation of the costume is specifically designed to move easily and smoothly with the slightest movement of the dancer.
There are many lifts and jumps in ballroom dancing that require one dancer to be held by the wrist or ankle and thrust into the air or flung across the dance floor. When selecting jewelry for these customized apparel costumes it is important that the jewelry not only match the costume being worn, but also be free of sharp edges or pieces that may come loose when grasped firmly.
Crystal jewelry is one choice that is often made to accessorize customized apparel costumes. The jewelry must be specially designed and is usually embedded in a solid bracelet or necklace. In addition, these pieces are usually made in a solid shape so that they will not accidentally fall open during a performance.
The customized apparel worn for competitions is already very detailed and contains hand sewn crystals in the costume that will highlight the movement of the dancer. Accessories for these custom apparel costumes is therefore chosen to enhance an already elegant piece of wearable art and are not required to showcase the gown by themselves.
Competitors often spend as much time selecting their accessories as they do in selected the customized apparel which will be worn during competition.
