In general, a black costume will recede into a black background. The silver and crystals will help define where your body is, but won't help them see the outlines of your body unless they are really thickly encrusted on there. (i.e., if it's more of a silver costume with a black base than a black costume.)

That said, it could work to your advantage. Especially if you're pale, any exposed skin (i.e., face, arms, midriff) will be highlighted. If that fits our style and/or the look you're going for, it could work.

Unless you know you can get exactly the effect you want though (i.e., you get a full dress rehearsal with lights), I'd stick to something with higher contrast.
