Simple, tasteful, looks contemporary because the dress is currently in fashion, and you can re-use the dress for other things afterwards if you want to
Here's something no-one else has addressed. Do you have the experience and stage presence to pull off such a long show? Yes, you are flicking through every prop known, but you still need to dance and connect to the audience. Most beginners start with 3-5 minutes - tops.Are circle skirts OK? I'm doing floorwork with my sword, which will be tough in a straight or mermaid skirt.
Sweetie, you dress to suit your music and your style and your own body and let the audience deal with their personal ignorance.
Sugar Petals may still sell long stretchy gowns with flared skirts; I think I saw them for about $50 last time I checked.
I've also seen circle skirts and bra with Turkish vest paired with a matching body stocking which gave the overall look of a gown while still allowing a barer midriff.
Jokes about my spelling are always welcome, by the way. My most recent came when I posted a recipe that included "nits" instead of "nuts."

On the subject of the length, the set will be short, maybe around fifteen minutes max. The only reason it's this long is that I've been a while getting situated in the studio and figuring out the speakers, so I'm making up the "settling in" months where I did not perform.
But I've decided on a costume after discussing with one of my teachers so the only reason the thread is open still is because I haven't figured out how to close it.... ><
