This presentation, part of The Ringling's New Perspectives on Women & the Historic Circus series, explores the costumes of female aerialists from the late 1800s to the present day. From aesthetics to functional considerations for movement, these garments require special attention to detail and are designed to complement the performance. From corsets and crinolines to leotards and Lycra, aerial costumes have evolved considerably while maintaining the glamour and prestige of the performance. Circus costume designer and researcher Jenny Leigh Du Puis provides a tour through the wardrobe of female aerialists past and present.




I found this article very informative and easy to understand. The writer has explained the main points clearly and avoided unnecessary complexity. I liked the practical information included throughout the post, and it gave me a much better understanding of the topic

The point about aerial costumes balancing glamour with freedom of movement really stood out to me. The shift from corsets and crinolines to leotards and Lycra shows how design responds to what female aerialists actually do, not only how a performance looks. I like experimenting with those visual choices in https://dressmaker.pro/, even on a much simpler scale. Jenny Leigh Du Puis's wardrobe tour sounds like a fascinating way to trace that history.
