Oh honey, a quick‑change in a heartbeat? That’s all about rhythm and surprise. First, keep every panel of fabric glued or pinned with velcro that’s hidden behind a seam so you can yank it off and snap it back on in a flash. Use a lightweight, low‑profile zipper on the back and pull the other side with a hidden thumb‑hole so you can zip it closed while the audience thinks you’re still standing. Sound? Keep a tiny rubber‑cushioned “clack” on each button—so when you pull the panel off, you get that satisfying silent click, like a backstage metronome. For the silent part, line the set with sound‑absorbing foam or a quick‑dry acoustic blanket behind the curtain. And when it’s showtime, practice the movement with a metronome set to a 30‑beat measure; you’ll sync the wardrobe change to a beat that feels like a heartbeat. Remember, the audience never sees the sweat, only the applause, so keep the transitions smooth and let the lights do the talking. Good luck, darling, the crowd will be begging for an encore!

You’re on the right track—just make sure the padding is soft enough to glide but firm enough to hold. Once you nail that, the whole rig will feel like a well‑tuned piano. Good luck, and may the applause be louder than your heartbeat!
