Purchase lots of leather thong from a craft store. Round leather thong can be softer on the skin, but is more prone to untie during a long night of dancing, so select your laces carefully. Also be sure to tie the lacing quite tightly, as leather (both the laces and the top) will loosen up a bit when you get all properly hot and sweaty from dancing. I would recommend tying lots of separate pieces instead of continuous lacing up the sides, as the failure mode is less severe with multiple independent connections.

Finally, you'll need to find a cute boy to lace you into this construction and keep you company while out dancing. Warn them in advance that this may take a while, and that they have to dress in complementary fashion. My boy looks pretty hot in his leather pants and shiny silver shirt (see silver shirt instructable); your mileage may vary.
