Here are two more of the tango outfits I bought last week.

The first one is actually a dress, not a skirt and top. It’s stretchy velvet. Tango clothes have no zippers and they are worn very tight. You have to allow for that when getting dressed — it takes me a while to struggle into them!

You can’t really see the skirt to advantage here, but it’s shocking pick with a thin black lace overlay — and a waist-to-hem black lace fish tail! I hesitated over that one, but I’m glad I got it. It swishes as I dance! The top is again tight stretchy velvet, with lace sleeves.

I think I may have said this before, but the milonga is the last bastion of over-the-top dressing, where you can be as fancy as you like. You can wear clothes you wouldn’t wear anywhere else, and I have to say I enjoy the whole experience more when I’m in these fabulous outfits!
