For hostesses working in these clubs, dresses are important items that influence their sales.

"Real Voices" of Current Hostesses (Excerpts from Free Responses)
"Since I switched to a Korean-style tight dress, I've been complimented more by new customers, which has led to more nominations!" (Early 20s, Cabaret Club Employee, Resident of Osaka Prefecture)
"If I wear the same dress too many times a week, customers get bored, so I try to wear about 2 new cute, affordable dresses per month." (Late 20s, Cabaret Club Employee, Resident of Tokyo Metropolis)
"Ever since I started choosing dresses that fit my body type, I've been complimented on my figure, and my in-house nominations have increased significantly! Dresses are the best weapon to make myself look most beautiful." (Mid-20s, Cabaret Club Employee, Resident of Aichi Prefecture)
Summary
This survey revealed that for modern hostesses, dresses are not just work attire but an important "advance investment" that significantly influences their number of nominations and sales.
In recent years, in particular, dresses with "elegant Korean-style designs" and those that offer "silhouette correction/slimming effects" tailored to one's body type (straight, wave, natural) are trending and supported by many customers, rather than excessive exposure.
Furthermore, the survey highlighted the smart self-production techniques of Reiwa-era hostesses, who systematically rotate cute, affordable dresses each month to maintain a fresh impression.
The hostess dress mail-order site "Rew-You" operates under the concept of "making as many hostesses as possible shine cutely 24/7, 365 days a year."
From classic glamorous high-end cabaret dresses to trendy pieces, affordable "super cheap" and "petit price" dresses, as well as non-dress items like casual private-date-style one-pieces and accessories, they offer an industry-leading, extensive lineup at reasonable prices. They continue to provide cutting-edge trend dresses so that current hostesses can continue to make advance investments without strain and shine their brightest at work.
