I perform with fire and am very cautious with what i wear, its really not a risk worth taking in a performance. People understand that danger and are amazed by what you are doing, not what youre wearing. I wouldn't wear a mask in fire dance and definitely not one with feathers. I love hooping in tube tops but i did a fire performance last week, i had a tube top under a tank and the tube top fell down and it was terrible cause I thought I was about to pop out! Just warning ya, if I didn't have the tank on over it I would have been very exposed! I preferfire hooping in pants or shorts, skirts seem to maybe get in the way. Just avoid fringey or anything hanging off!

Paint! Mask painted on yor face, maybe plain black clothes so the face stands out, some color around your wrists, maybe even paint the clothes.... You could do body painting as well. You could make "feather" out of some wispy pieces of leather so sort of give the effect of the feathers

also keep in mind that most leggings have a high amount of synthetic fiber in them which is something you should avoid when fire spinning other wise you may end up with napalm legs

If you ever need a hand coming up with ideas, feel free to message me or check out my FB Gallery. I custom design hooping costumes and I have a variety of fire-safe fabrics.
