moulin rouge History & Costumes

One of the most famous cabarets in Paris, the Moulin Rouge was home to a bevy of beautiful dancers and female entertainers who captured the senses and imaginations of all who frequented the windmill-shaped building.

Among the most famous of these dancers were the can can girls, decked out in colorful costumes in rich, satin and velvet fabrics, high-kicking their way across the stage with feathers in their hair.

All the romance of 19th century French nightlife can be yours this Halloween or at your next costume gathering with any one of these Moulin Rouge costume sets, guaranteed to put your best foot (and leg) forward in an elegant display of feminine seduction.

This gorgeous, below-the-knee-length can-can costume dress made of red and black satin and trimmed in matching ruffles and sequins is done in an off-the-shoulder styling. The set comes with black stockings with bold, black vertical stripes running down the length of the leg, a festive garter, and sequined-and-feathered hair ornament to complete the look.

Add your own choker or jewelry to enhance your allure and bring a touch of class to this beautiful, sexy costume.
