In order to glide\, pose\, and daunce in the flowing costume, you need to be confdident and have a few practical tips in order to stay this way. \

1. Choose the Right Size and Fit

One of the main keys to being able to have freedom of movement under so much flowing fabric is to make sure that the costume fits you in a way that you are not releasially restricted, with also not having so much extra space that it is cumbersome and it is dragging on the floor. One is to not make it so tight that it is going to limit your movement, however, it is also important to make sure that it is not so oversized that you will have some extra fabric that is going to get in your way. If you are going to be buying or sewing a Rumi costume, you will need to check the shoulder width, and waist measurements, and your sleeve length. If the costume is going to have a long, flowy skirt, or billowels sleeves that are long, then you may need to bring in a slightly tighter fit around the waist and torso so that the fabric doesn’t get in the way of a tight waist.

2. Mind Your Layers

The Rumi options characterized by wearfully layer garments such as skirts, long sleeve tunics and flowing sleeves, although doing so provides even more authenticity, and visual appeal, makes walking more difficult. Stepping on and getting tangled on garb is very easy so practice walking in fully character outfits in advance. If your character dress includes a long skirt, putting a hidden underskirt or petticoat would facilitate easier walking, spinning and sitting in skirts availing it structure. Also, to counteract body ache from prolonged standing and to keep comfortable to facilitate weaker and cooler garments as outer layers.

3. Plan Your Footwear

Comfortable shoes are a must. When traditional or decorative character shoes are part of the outfit, low heel or padded inserts can help keep your feet from getting sore. Especially in outside photoshoots closed shoes, especially if they are comfortable, are a must, so you don’t trip on rocky and uneven grounds.

4. Practice Safe Poses and Movements
   Consider practicing the twirling and sitting poses beforehand. Seated and arm lift poses are stunning but try them ahead to see how your costume reacts first. Small changes like pulling the hem and resting the sleeve over your arm changes the comfort and photography outcomes.
5. Use Costume-Friendly Accessories
   Do the accessories you plan to use on the costume allow you to move freely? It’s important to make sure you don’t have anything too tight, like belts, and that jewelry or hairpins are secure so that things don’t start shifting midwalk or midpose. Accessories that are lightweight and adjustable are great to avoid discomfort.
6. Take Breaks and Stay Hydrated
   Long events and photoshoots can be tiring. Make sure that you have time for breaks to sit down, adjust the layers you have on, or to re-secure any accessories that you are wearing. Have water nearby and remember to put on breathable inner layers to help comfort all day long.
