Maybe the question should be less, what makes a costume vulgar, but what makes a costume classy? There are costumes which on the wrong bodies, doing a style of dance with is not compatible with that costume, are completely vulgar. But on the right body, with the right dance style. . .

The best example I can give you at the moment is my 3 panel AmCab skirts. At 30 lbs overweight, wearing them in the traditional style with wide leg slits, not pretty! Floor work with the slits wide open, not happening.

Now, get me down 25 of that 30 lbs, this will change. And for the most part, no one will have a problem with it.
