Begin the Waltz

Select a black tuxedo made of worsted wool with trousers that have pleats in the front. Go for a black waistcoat, black tie and cummerbund. You can leave out waistcoat and cummerbund, if you decide to wear double-breasted coat. The tie and cummerbund are created from marcella. Complete the dress by including satin suspenders or braces to hold the trouser up.

Shorten the sleeves to the correct length of your arms so that it does not pick out of your coat sleeves while you raise your arms during dancing. Cuffs fixed by cufflinks are suggested for waltz dance costume.

Wear dance shoes with leather soles. If you are unable to find shoes that fit you, you can take the help of a shoe repair shop and alter a pair of normal formal shoes into dance shoes.

Wear formal white gloves with your tail coat. Cotton gloves are enough and they are less slippery than nylon.
