How to: 10 Ways to Prevent Wardrobe Malfunctions
1. Test drive new clothes with the shoes you'll be wearing.
Stretch, crouch, stand, sit, cross your legs, bend over, and jump up and down. If you'll
be climbing up on a stool or have a habit of putting your foot up on a wedge or drum riser
while you're onstage, do that too.
2. Have a brutally honest friend with a critical eye look for potential problems while you
do the above test.
3. If you have to tug at your clothing to put it back in place or make it more
comfortable after doing the above, it's the wrong outfit.
4. If you can't breathe, you can't sing.
5. Always try clothing on with the undergarments you'll be wearing onstage (highly
recommended, even if you usually go commando).
6. Short skirts and elevated stages don't mix, unless you're actually trying to give the
people in the first 2 rows an extra show. Test this with the shoes you'll be wearing
onstage--higher shoes can make it worse.
7. Choose clothing that has good "memory" after it stretches. Stretched-out
clothing is an invitation to disaster.
8. Beware of cheap dyes that run when you sweat. Navy blue, red, and black are often the
worst offenders.
9. Double spaghetti straps or ties are safer than single strands. Double hooks on halter
necklines are also safer.
10. If you wear dark clothing, travel with a sticky lint roller and use it right before
you step out onstage.
