I love the look of the "dress" costume but..

[teakpeek]

I just can't make myself buy one. I'm a tiny gal and I need all the fabric I can get. They are beautiful the one piece and the skirt&top but I see a lot of gals pulling their skirts up. I have a bum.. but that's it. I just feel naked without arm "fluff". I bought my first pair and swore to myself they would be my standard get up. What's a gal to do? Follow the trends or no?

You can always add arm fluff as you call it. Drapes, etc, can be bought to match or contrast. I wear bedlahs and dresses. two of my dresses have trumpet skirts which would look fabo on you if you have a bum. the flare of the trumpet helps to give you some balance while the straight skirt will compliment your booty.

Where is Kimhari, aka queen of the L. Rose skirts? She has some amazing pix. And she is also tiny. Abut 5'2" and 98# soaking wet! If you go to the Lrose site, I think she is their poster child!

For me special on stage we have to feel comfort with our look. This way we can give our best at our dance/performance part also.
So find something regardless of fassion and feel yourself in it.
This will make you glow as a dancer also.

Thanks..I do love the look of the trumpet skirts though I love my bum..I'm afraid to accent it much..Maybe I'll try one out...

I have a large butt, and I am only 5'2". No matter how small I get, my butt is big. Trumpet skirts always look good.

You should check out the L.Rose dresses--she makes them with the trumpet skirt now. I have never owned one, but I am tempted.

I always accent my booty. It's definitely my best body part. If you got it, accent it, NOT with ass-outs' though!
Trumpet/mermaid type skirts are always the best.
I'm only 5'3" on a good day!

I bet you guys look adorable..pics..I'm 5'8,thin, no bust, just booty. Yeah..yeah..some say I shouldn't complain but who's ever 100% satisfied.

We all have something we like and something we don't about ourselves. I'd love to be tall, but I'm not.

I'd love to be tall too, and put the extra couple of inches in my torso....

Me too, I swear, the distance between my belly button and sternum is nothin'--hard to show off certain moves. But, overall, I am happy to be relatively proportionate.
