How To Make Our Own Latin Dance Dresses?

A Latin Dance dress, typically intended for a Latin Ballroom class, performance and competition, was visually appealing as well as comfortable and practical. The range of movement should never be hindered by a dance costume, so beware of dresses that are too long or tight as this could restrict the ability to perform dances to the fullest. The classic Latin Ballroom style, such as the tango, mambo, salsa and samba are known for risque and sexy costumes. Design the dress to be visually stunning and equipped to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions.

Materials That We Need For Latin Dance Dresses
- Scissors- Needle and Thread or sewing machine- Laces- Sequins- Fringes- Feathers- Silk Flower- Pins-

Instructions

  • Choose a dress pattern from the knee length and the form fitting 
  • Cut 2 slits in front of the skirt and two in the back. The slits should reach to the upper thigh of the wearer.
  • Sew fringes, feathers or row of sequins to the side of the strips and between them. The skirt will flair out when the dancer spins, and the added glitz will catch the light to highligt a move as well as add some Latin flavor to the ensemble. 
  • Design a deep necklines on the dress by cutting a plunging " V " shape. Lines the edge of necklines with a strip of sequins. Add a piece of lace underneath the " V " to cover the bust with a sensual touch if desired. 
  • Sew a layer of fringe or sequins around the edge of the end of the sleeve. This will help accent arm movements. 
  • Lastly pin a silk flower below the shoulder and alongside the necklines of the dress. Pin another flower to the hip of the dress.
