Pixie Costume
Lyrical Dance Costume?

I am doing a lyrical solo to "Use Somebody" by Pixie Lott (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhhxD-VdCJE acoustic version of the Kings Of Leon song) and i'm allowed to choose my costume. I was thinking either a dress or Flowy top & shorts outfit in neutral colours. If you could help that would be awesome. Thank-You!!!

Hi, since you can only put 10 links in an answer, and there are a lot of great neutral lyrical costumes, I'm giving you links to lyrical costumes on dance costume websites instead. I've used costumes from all companies, and they're great.
