Great question! Yes, bibSNAPS can work with thicker materials like ballroom dance suits, but it depends on the thickness and structure of the fabric.
They’re designed to hold through multiple layers, so most competition outfits (including stretch fabrics, lycra, and embellished suits) work well. For very thick or heavily structured areas, you may just need to press the snaps together firmly to ensure they fully lock.
For best results, we recommend:
- Placing them in slightly flatter areas (avoiding bulky seams or heavy embellishments)
- Testing placement before competing to make sure everything feels secure during movement
Many dancers and athletes use bibSNAPS to avoid damaging their outfits, so they’re a great alternative to safety pins—especially for performance wear!
