How long do you have to change? 30 seconds can be very long indeed. If both costumes....whatever they are...are all made up as one even if they look like layers of different things, an invisible zipper down the back can get it on and off in seconds. Also if the magical ball gown has tons of fullness and petticoats [attached] and is glittery with lame and beading and sequins, the contrast to the soot covered schemata will be breathtaking. It is easier to take something off than put something on. The glittery ball bodice can be underdressed under the frumpy charwoman outfit which can be snatched off, and a full glittery skirt with attached petticoats can be added...securely with a real skirt hook. Avoid Velcro. It seems like a good idea but it isn't mainly because it's just a strip and it has no way to get it lined up correctly. Snaps are great...and big ones [whopper poppers] can be covered in fabric to disappear. You just cover them [with thin fabric] and make a hole in the male side for the little thing to stick up through and a hole on the female side for it to snap into. Don't forget, you can have time to change a wig and some makeup too.
