I personally hate hate hate harem pants, especially one me....but
I watched myself dance in the purple costume on tape, and it looked like too much leg to me. And I know I will be on stage. I really want another layer of purple skirt, but alas no matching fabric has been found, ....yet.
At least I do have purple boy shorts that are a pretty close match. Feh, don't know what to do...hence looking for opinions. Thanks for the input.

I also don't think you need the black harems with the blue skirt, same reason, though they are better than the gold ones because they're sheer.
The problem is that both harem pants and the full skirt add a lot of "weight" visually, drawing the eye downward to your legs and hips. You're better off flashing some skin down there to balance out the skin shown up around your torso.
The gauntlets on your hands seem distracting. They're cute, and would be great for tribal/tribaret look. I really love the blue gauntlet/sleeve you did above. It's flattering on most everyone, and creates balance across the whole costume (adds visual weight up top, to balance out full skirts and loads of color around your lower half). Did you not want to do that same sort of look with the black? It would be cute in that lacey fabric.
Another option for breaking up the space above, is to make drapes of fabric that snap onto the bra straps and drape around the outside of your arm...like an "off the shoulder" look. With snaps they're removable and can be changed out with different skirts etc.
I hope none of this upsets you! I just want to give some helpful feedback so you can make the costume perfect for you!
