You normally wear a kilt, blouse, socks, braces, garters, waistcoats and dancing shoes
If it's just practice, they were a leotard and tights. In performances, they ususally wear a leotard, a tutu, and tights. It depends if they wear pointe shoes or flat shoes.

Irish dancers don't wear bloomers, but wear more of a pair of giant knickers.-Actually yes, they do wear bloomers. I am an Irish dancer and most people wear bloomers under their dress so when they kick high, you don't see their underwear. Some people wear tights instead of bloomers, but only if it matches their dress.
They wear wigs because of the stereotype that all Irish dancers have curly hair. Someone came up with the idea to make curly wigs to make money and dancers have been wearing them ever since.
