I was told once by a fellow costumer who once worked for one of the many
Chippendale's dance teams is that velcro was far too strong for tear-away
clothing; too much wear and tear on the fabrics and the release was
unreliable.
What they used were little snaps, like the snaps used for baby clothing.
I've never had occasion to use this technique, but I stored it away in my
brain *just in case* I ever have occasion to sew for an ecdysiast...
