Aerial Hammock

WHAT TO WEAR
-
Please wear form fitting leggings that go to the calf or to the ankle and wear a form fitting shirt that covers the midriff. Fabric burn (think rug burn!) is no joke :)
-
No zippers, studs, or anything that can snag the aerial fabric. No jewelry is allowed. This can cause holes in the fabrics.
