Mambo: What to Wear?

[Paisley]

I am going to a dance that includes a mambo lesson. I think my lindy uniform (cotton printed skirt and t-shirt) will be a bit too casual. I do have a poufy black cotton skirt; my tops are fairly limited. I also have a tank-style little black dress. I'm open to suggestions.

Most women wear the same type of clothes they would wear to salsa:
Cotton, somewhat tight and very sexy.
Little black dress sounds perfect!

Great--but one strap (it's tank-style) tends to slide off my shoulder. Any suggestions?

Double sided tape... It's what they use in Hollywood to keep things in place.. I have some downstairs and can look up the name a bit later.. You should be able to find it at a dance shop, i'd think.. I got mine in the grocery store tho..

I ended up wearing another LBD I'd forgotten about. It was satin and off-the-shoulder. It was perfect--a few people told me how nice I looked. Thanks!
