These bartender and barmaid uniforms, designed for the fictional “Nero’s Roman Bar,” reflect the dazzling, modern-day Roman Empire that is Caesars Palace.

 

In these costumes, the bar staff will certainly “present a well-groomed, professional, and pleasant appearance that guests will find appealing and approachable in order to engage in conversation,” while celebrating guests’ wins. 

 

The color choices, such as green and purple, create an atmosphere of both luck and luxury. Purple also references the Roman clavus, a stripe worn on the garments of distinguished Roman citizens, and the gold laurel wreaths represented victory both in the ancient times, as well at the game tables.

 

Little touches of luxury, such as the bartender’s velvet drapery, the barmaid’s cord belt with glittery tassels, and on both, bronze-colored pins with the Caesars Palace logo are not costly, and they have a big visual impact.

 

These costumes have a sophisticated and elegant sex appeal, suitable for one of Las Vegas’ most prestigious resorts. Bar staff can wear comfortable, functional garments while still reflecting Roman styles.

 

The modern man wouldn’t be comfortable in lots of draped fabric, so instead of cliché togas, the bartenders are dressed in pants for comfort and practicality. The cuirass would be made of foam, to allow movement and flexibility that a stiff breastplate wouldn’t. Metallic stretch fabric would be fitted to the foam muscle chest, and then details could be printed on.

 

The female employees can feel comfortable and modest, wearing a sheer purple, tunica-inspired layer underneath, for coverage and a pop of color, with a white Roman-style stola draped over it. The adjustable waist cord around the stretch fabrics would be flattering and comfortable for women of varying body types. And flat sandals that reference the buskins of Roman soldiers (instead of high heels) are breathable and practical for the amount of walking and standing that the barmaids do.  

 

Since these garments will be created for many staff members at Nero’s Bar, they can be made in just a handful of sizes – much more cost-effective than having each one custom-made. Most of the pieces would be quite simple to construct. After sewing a few straight seams, all the shaping and draping of the barmaid’s costume and the bartender’s shoulder piece would be done by belting and pinning the fabric.

 

These fashionable, flattering costumes will attract the clientele at Caesars Palace, and allow the bar staff to provide impeccable service.
