Love your designs! Personally, I'd love to see my voluptuous booty covered w/out exposing every ripple, wrinkle and fold ;) So many designs I find online are so funky and wonderful, but are not able to cover my curvy proportions!

hi! you've got some cute stuff. hoopers like looking funky & hip. the arm warmers are super cute and funky, so long as they dont cover the palm of the hand. your pants have lots of flair which looks awesome when spinning! any flowy fabric is great really, but fire performers prefer natural fibers. most hoopers ive met like to have as much skin exposed as possible, so low cut pants and crop tops are popular. i like skirts, so they have to be short enough for my thighs to be exposed, but lots of other people like broomstick style skirts for all the flow. something along the lines of belly dancing clothing, gypsy style, hippie. i know, as a curvy girl, that added support like what you find in activewear is the absolute best, but its just not very funky. if you made funky activewear, i think it might be a hit!

Your lines in the designs are sweet! 
I agree with Maria, they are fantastic, however I am too looking for clothes that can be as just as fun and sexy, but can be still worn with a women of my size to not have to worry that my rolls are being shown.. feel comfortably that I look great and feel great too.

I'm not sure what you mean.  what kind of clothing will 'cover your curvy proportions?'

What makes clothes good for hooping?

* Natural, non-slip fabrics. 

* Bare shoulders (its easier to shoulder hoop)

* Or sleeves that are form-fitting and wont interfere with the hoop

* Pants that are form-fitting around the thighs

* Skirts that are not bulky around the waist

* Either cropped tops or form-fitting at the waist

Just a little practicle (not fashion) advice, I will buy anything that you can hide a good sports bra under :)

I love scarfs. Not the bulky winter type but the more colorful, thin, type that are more for fashion to wear than for the cold. I just use them as wraps to tie around my waist. I have a pair of really simple, cheap, and comfy black yoga pants, and a handful of different colored scarfs/wraps that I tie around my waist thus creating a very cheap outfit that I can always change with just a different design/colored wrap.

I would love to see short fitted skirts available made with natural fabrics. Plain, simple, with a flat waistband.
