In spite of the name, mirror costumes aren’t made of real mirror, although they have the same reflectivity. Pieces used for production of shiny outfits and glitter accessories are made of high quality acrylic mirror. Each tile is carefully cut with a laser and has rounded edges to guarantee safe usage with no scratches. Top quality acrylic mirror is 10 times stronger than glass, shatter, UV and weather resistant and doesn’t age like real mirror. All this make it ideal for use of design projects like those that we work on everyday at ETERESHOP.

It consists of 6 independent parts that can either be worn separately or attached to one another to form a solid disco mirror leotard.

Mirror Dresses, Bodysuits and Accessories
Mirror as a material for glamorous and sexy outfits perfectly matches one of the top trends in fashion – metallic, sequin and other glittery shines. Be it a dress, corset, harness, bodysuit or boots – all can be mirrored with shiny acryl. Mirror clothes look appropriate under soffits on red carpets in case with long silver or gold gowns, at night clubs if you want to shine in a sexy mini or are about to perform in gleaming bodysuits or accessories.
The smaller the tiles on your outfit, the softer shining of the look you’ll get. Long metallic gowns are oozing gold and silver glamour, while a mirror choker or a harness will add up kincky sexy shine.
Long mirror dresses are especially popular among singers, musicians and actresses. Mirror tiles radiantly glow in spotlights and lights of soffits creating glowing effect around the figure of a performer. Short dresses look more appropriate at night clubs, parties and fun events.

Light Sources and Their Impact on Disco Ball Reflection of Mirror Costumes
Mirror wear will shine or gleam in any light conditions except for complete darkness. But to achieve the best effect it is advisable to choose bright and/ or colorful lighting solutions such as lasers, LED panels or LED stripes, soffits, fire or, simply, sunlight. There is no universal lighting setup: depending on the size and layout of the venue, the funds available and the preferences of the owner, the tools can vary widely. Let’s have a look at the most common lighting conditions you’ll be using your mirror clothing in and their influence on the produced effect.
Soffits:
Light sources at night clubs, restaurants or theatres are usually more than enough for an artist to create an unforgettable wow-effect with a mirror outfit, be it a costume of a mirror man, flexible mirror leotard or just a 3D animal mask. Small fancy restaurants may have no strobes in their arsenal, but if there is even a small stage for musicians, it surely must be able to create a spotlight effect.
If you are not sure what kind of lighting conditions you’ll be performing in, you can always grab a portable source of light with you (see the next point).

Lasers and LED lights:
That’s what will definitely live up your show if the scene is too dark, the day is rainy, you need to add corporate colors to your show or just some ‘juiciness’ to your performance. If the light source is multi-color your disco ball effect will have a wide range of colors to light up an event.
Grab a LED panel, LED light fans, an LED mask, veils or even light up wings with you and be sure to own the night.

It seems so obvious, isn’t it? Bright sun beams are like natural spotlights for a performer dressed in mirrored clothes.

Fire:
Sparkles, forks of flame and sparks add notes of mystery to a show. The contrast of dark layout and bright splashes of fire reflected in numerous mirrors of your costume is something that observed for hours. If you are a flow artist or perform in fire shows, consider investing in mirror clothing, accessories or a mirror mask.
