Fetish Expo Outfit Ideas

Looking at attending a fetish expo later in the year, but I’m completely stumped in regards to what I’d wear!

Any recommendations are welcome, I’ve not been to one before, but obviously it’ll need to not be overly revealing (rather not be filling up my car half-naked :joy:)
I have some upper-body shots in the lingerie pics, but eventually there’ll be some full-body shots, so for context, I’m an hourglass figure (hips and bust are about the same measurements, waist much smaller).

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! (Might have to put some outfits together and throw them on the picture thread for feedback :wink:

Also curious as to whether I’ll see Lovehoney there as an exhibitor, wonder if they have any plans to be at an international expo this year? :thinking:

Hi @RacyRosalee

I was thinking of this for my wife for something similar. You’d need a jacket!

Hope you have fun! :grinning:

This is cute! However, just by looking at the section between the underbust and hips, it’s not going to fit my proportions properly :sob:

I do have a bodysuit that has the upper portion completely made of mesh (I’ll have to upload a photo sometime next week) that would give a similar vibe (can’t link bc competitor), but I’m not sure how uncovered I want my bottom half to be

A steel boned corset will look amazing on you. Add on the rest to suit. I have several and they are really comfortable to wear.

I do own a steel boned pvc corset… :smiling_imp:
It ends at about waist height, so it would work pretty well, would just need to work out the rest of the outfit from that, but I’ll still keep my options open. Thank you for the suggestion! :kissing_heart:

I know I’m late to the party. But. If your main concern is not showing up half naked on the drive. Are you willing/able to wear a “jacket” like top coat that you could take off in the parking lot before walking inside? Is there a clothing check in counter for the walk to the building assuming you can’t park nearby? Is there a concierge service for parking, so you can leave the jacket inside your car?

In those cases the expo / dungeon we visit has a clothing check in area since you usually have to walk for blocks through a major tourist attraction city and it’s a rather high end/up scale area that the dungeon is in. Which is part of the excitement in a way, and a definite cause for nervousness in my case.

This is what my GF does with regards to the “topcoat” layer. It’s only awkward when there is no parking nearby and I have to drop her off almost at the doorstep and then find parking.

My GF is an hourglass with similar body proportions to you from the random pictures Ive seen you post in Lingerie Uploads while scrolling through to get my 50 likes per day in. The only difference I see between my GF and the pictures I’ve seen that you uploaded are the color palettes to match respective complexions. You’re almost as white as I am. And she’s rather dark. So, our go to colors are sometimes quite opposite. Be it daily professional wear or kink wear. Although wet black looks suit every skin tone in my opinion (in the right setting of course).

I know that this isn’t quite what you were asking. And I’m months late seeing this. But, without being inappropriate, anything that is hourglass appropriate would probably look equally as sensuous on you as it does on her. And for any “problem” areas you see that most likely no one else will even notice?

The Right shape-wear also does wonders for self confidence. And at the end of the day I think most would agree that it isn’t so much what you wear. But how confidently you wear it that leaves a lasting impression in peoples minds.

It’s always more of an awkward moment outside for us than it is inside. (As in be thankful you’re not 6’3 - column shaped, walking in heels with platforms, over 7 feet tall as a result, and in skimpy outfits for blocks after dropping your GF off at the doorstep, all while trying to make sure you don’t break your ankle up and down very steep streets that are always crowded no matter the time of night). Lol. :wink:

If you’ve already gone and had a good experience, please let us know what you wore if you’re comfortable doing so. I’m asking so I can give my GF ideas for the next time(s) we go (to the dungeon/club).

I’m also curious as to the in person difference between an expo and a club/dungeon. We have talked frequently about going to expos in the SF Bay Area but don’t really have any experience with that and are skittish for the same reasons.

(We don’t know enough about the differences to know what we don’t know essentially). Lol

Whether you feel comfortable updating or replying or not. I hope you had a good time and/or are feeling comfortable enough you’re wanting to go again.

From the textual and picture posts I’ve seen from you, you seem rather confident, (right fully so). If the shape-wear comment struck you the wrong way, please don’t take offense.

It’s just something I thought of due to the amount of times I’ve had to reassure my GF she’s turning heads left and right, daily life or night life. She’s actually equally self accepting and confident in most ways. But we all need encouragement at points. So the comment was offered in that context rather than that you need any for any reason other than that you feel you need any.

I guess the saying is true. We are our own worst critics. I know I certainly am as a perfectionist. Since nothing about my CD related “switch” presentations at a club/dungeon are even remotely close to perfect, and I’m still learning how to accept that my normal daily presentation draws looks “for the right reasons in my mind.” And maybe not as much the same reasons in our playful night out/dungeon club events. :wink:

Oh gosh, I totally forgot about this thread :joy:

I did go, although I ended up having to go by myself, as my ride decided to pull out the morning of. So I toned down my outfit a little to avoid any creeps on the train (I get a lot of those, especially as a woman travelling alone :sweat_smile:)

From memory (this was back in October) I ended up going in my usual style (alternative) with a little more hardware (chains, cuffs). Short skirt, corset, platform boots and a thin cover-up that I could use to sit on the grassy area outside (expo was both inside and outside). Didn’t want lug a handbag around, so I opted to attach a small techwear waist bag that came with another skirt to the one I was wearing, which fit everything I needed for the day, and kept my hands completely free.

Expos are nothing like dungeons, which is part of the reason I went. It allows for some networking, there’s a bunch of stalls with artists selling all sorts. I picked up some gorgeous handmade cuffs, some artwork and engraved pendants for my chokers. There’s no funny business at the expo, but there’s an afterparty (completely separate event) that’s more of a dungeon experience (I’m considering going to that part as well this year). There’s a latex outfit competition, performances, etc, a really good introduction for those not wanting to dive straight into the dungeon scene.

Outfitwise, most wore regular clothes, with some exceptions, but it definitely wasn’t a bare-it-all kinda place (although one lady didn’t get the memo, as I ended up with a faceful of tits with pasties barely hanging on :sweat_smile:).

Everyone was really lovely and respectful, I met a lot of local and interstate artists that I wasn’t aware of, and being able to touch and test a lot of the products before buying was a huge benefit.

Because I was by myself, I had a couple of security guards making sure I was safe and comfortable. I did have one incident with another attendee who didn’t like the word no, but security was really approachable and handled it quickly, even walked me to the train station when I left to make sure the guy wasn’t hanging around.

Overall, I had a really great time! Definitely considering making it a yearly trip (although I have to check dates for this year and make sure they don’t clash with my final assignments and exams for uni).

Thanks for the details.

I had a friend attend the PornStar in Vegas Convention every year as a Vendor (before I moved to CA), and was wondering how a non Porn Star focused venue was handled.

I’m glad you had a good time, in spite of your ride cancelling on you. I’m glad you were safe and looked after by staff.

I appreciate the time you took to give me the “low down,” as I honestly had no clue what the difference was either in a U.S. v. Non U.S. sense or a club/dungeon versus expo sense.

Like I said. We’ve thought about attending them but didn’t know enough to know what we didn’t know so speaking to someone who’s been to one versus reading about the venues details are appreciated.

Venturing outside our comfort zone for growth is something we are both pretty passionate about. Intimidating or not. So maybe that will be the next step for us with one focused more on making us step outside our comfort zone (but not creepy either.)

Lol
