Frilly Shorts

Sometimes those seductive costumes can be a bit revealing.  Be sure to wear a ruffled pair of shorts underneath that skirt to keep yourself protected and covered.

Fishnet Tights

Every woman knows that a leg wrapped in fish nets just look a lot more attractive and sexy than bare legs.  Fish net stockings are easy to find and they are an inexpensive way to spice up your costume.

Fans

Whether or not you use it to actually fan yourself or just to keep your face slightly concealed, the mystery and allure of a fan is a great addition to any can can costume.  Women who carried fans normally had one that matched their outfit so be sure to find one that is color coordinated to your costume.  This accessory will take your costume over the top!

Long or Short Gloves

Gloves were almost always worn as part of an authentic cancan costume.  Sometimes these were the long style and sometimes they were short and fingerless.  Any length you wear them will be fine just be sure they are satin and that they fit your hand and arm tightly but not restricting.

High Heel Boots

The one thing everyone knows about can can dancers were their high leg kicks.  To show off those long legs and high kicks, dancers always wore high boots that usually had some sort of shiny decoration at the top.  These boots were usually leather and most commonly they were black.

Add any or all of these accessories to any cancan costumes and you will be the star of the show.  Heads will turn and your costume will be remembered for a long time to come.
