So, rumor has it that "You can't whip in skirts!!!"....yyyeeaa...Let me explain something to you all. When someone tells me "you can't", my usual response is "watch me". I've never liked being told I couldn't do something and am always determined to proving those "nah-sayiers" wrong.
That being said, I've decided to shoot a small serious of videos of me whip cracking in different levels of skirt. This first video is of me in an A-line prom tulle prom dress that I used when I was in high school. I was shocked that it fit (if not a size too big) and found it only mildly challenging to whip crack in. The biggest challenge was making sure the whip did not snag in the skirt. But since my whip was dry and the tulle of the skirt did not really catch the nylon of the whip, I was more or less in good shape.
What you'll also notice is I added a veil more so for the added fun/challenge. The veil definitely limited my viewing capabilities...but that being said, this only poses a slight extra challenge.
Here's the video with my Bullwhip:
Here's the video with my Double Stocks:
I'm super happy to be working on this and am rather enjoying playing around with various elements of costuming that may prove difficult. Each outfit I whip crack in add a new element of challenge (in a sort of manner anyways!)
I plan on doing this in another ballgown I have that is more flowy and a hoop skirt with bum role. I also have some shorter skirts I might add into the mix while I am at it.
Stay Tuned,
Until Next Time,

"many times, my work requires me to whip in a dress..."
ReplyDeleteOne of the coolest things I have ever heard. Or seen. Whatever.
"I also have some shorter skirts I might add into the mix while I am at it."
Yes, please.
