I was a bit surprised to learn that she's a costumer, although the general crafting of the bustle looks well done I wonder about other choices she's made.

Because I costume a little, I'll critique that.

The garterness doesn't bother me, or that strange bustle, but I'd prefer to see it on someone who is doing more fusion than she is because I would then be able to understand why the alternative costume was being used. You put that to brassy-er more aggressive music that harkens to burly or can-can or naughty cabarets...it would seem more fitting. Music should inform the motion and the costume.

I think the bustle would make far more sense if it were used to accent her hip movements like if she ever turned around and did hip accents with her back to the audience. As is it just isn't used to full effect...she sits on it.

I'm not so happy with the fringe.

If you're going to strip down a costume you need to make sure that the parts that you do keep make sense. If you attach a bustle, use it. If you are going to fringe the bra it makes more sense to move that fringe up onto the bra cup where it's going to move with shoulder and chest movements, not place it under the cups where it just moves a bit with your body in general.

I think the lace-up back makes the bra seem more interesting and exciting that it would with out, but I'd like to see the lacing also incorporated with the belt, perhaps on the side or above the garter bets in the front (probably faux lacing there so she wouldn't expose skin needlessly) or laced arm decorations instead of the belted wrist things.

Be wary of crotch fringe if it hangs lower than your costume crotch! I was iffy here. If her bra fringe choices had brought my eye up a bit I wouldn't have fixated on the crotch fringe.
