Pole performance in quick release coat

Hellooo I am choreographing a performance and trying to use a fancy coat to set the mood (think controlling sultry music conductor)

My plan is to use whatever release mechanism while upside down on the pole

The pattern is for non-stretched fabrics, but I will be unfortunately trying to sew with a stretch fabric because I do floor work and have to climb the pole before I can take it off (I’ll be sewing the purple coat)

My first thoughts were either magnetic tape through the armpits or button holes and plastic boning or Weedwhacker string or I’ve seen para cord

But I realized if I bought the magnetic tape, it was gonna cost way more than everything so I can make it Also I don’t know if the magnets will hold while doing movements so I don’t know if it’s worth the time to even sew it.

The most viable option would be using sewing in button loops to the seams of the under arm and sides in attaching the loop i pull in my armpits for easy access

Im going to attach a picture of the pattern

Also questionable if the longtails are gonna work because of the floor work

I would love any ideas or suggestions on tearaway placements or mechanisms

And I’m probably gonna post in multiple communities

I am willing to do the work for the magnets because that will be easiest to put back together in between runs when practicing

Thank youuu! 💗💗
