Melodias! Check out my tribe listings for her tribe, then click on the eBay link she's got in her tribe description.. yummy! These are pants of stretchy fabric that does well with hoops (just avoid the powermesh or slinkys - but those are both old fabric choices not currently available) and they've got great swoooshy flares that balance upper curves nicely!

I like hooping in tube tops, too... once I found a strapless bra that could cope with the girls at full hooping speed :) I find that bare shoulders work really well both for hooping and for showing sexy skin!

What else? Mmhmmm... Hadria's "improvement" video shows her wearing a top that I stil lust over - halter style with a tie back, but has gathered panels under the bust that are open in the middle but do a great job of teasing coverage and movement... Sass has instructions (I THINK on here, or on the main Hula Hooping tribe) for her basic costume top which is a halter with a v-bottom in the front for more coverage..

You could also go for the cute retro look - short sleeve button-down blouse with some cute collar detail, and a knee-length skirt, either pencil or full depending on how you like to play, plus Keds-style sneakers... sassy! <grin>

Good luck!

Hey girl,
There are lots of tricks to emphasize your strengths and disguise your imperfections. As long as you are proud of your beautiful curves and you stick them out every once in a while, then you can wear whatever you want! I think black within the costume helps to void out extra space, but I wouldn't do all black because it'll mute out you. There are special lines you can draw into your costumes to attract the eye of the observer to your proud areas. If you want more feedback let me know. I'll share my knowledge with ya.
Take Care,
Shredder
ps. Check out my photos. I made all my costumes, with exception to the fish nets.
