Re: Costuming?
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 8:12 PMI've been trying to figure that out too. Moondance Bellydance has a lot of stuff to choose from if you don't want to attempt to make something. We need to have a stitch and female dog to get some good ideas! -

Re: Costuming?
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 10:39 AMWell I'll give you some links... you can go look around at stuff, and see if you like something!!
www.moondancebellydance.com -- lots of stuff, decent prices -- order ASAP cause shipping is slow with them.
www.desertdancer.com -- lots of tribal-fusion-ish stuff, decent prices.
www.dahlal.com -- mostly cabaret stuff, but othet styles, too. Kind of pricey, but the costumes are well made, and high quality.
Or you could get a nice pair of Melodias, make a nice belt to go over them, and buy a top from some place -- it depends on what kind of look/style you're going for.

Re: Costuming?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 5:54 PMWow thanks everyone. I've been looking at the websites... not sure yet but they all look nice. On the really pricey one I saw these unitard things and I thought "Wow, that would nicely cover my chubb, but I don't want to pay $50 for it" so I typed in "full body unitard" in the google and clicked on a random link and got some sort of fetish spandex hell. So yeah.... I was shocked.
But thanks everyone, this makes things much easier! -

Re: Costuming?
Fri, April 25, 2008 - 5:37 AMI'm so in for a crafty get together!!!!!!! I want to make a hip belt.
And Allison, try this link, this might be what you're looking for only more affordable--

I've also seen some pix of dancers who put a lacy scarf around under their bra, so the triangle hangs over the belly, it covers and looks pretty too. -

Re: Costuming?

We could even have an "Embellish a Bra" segment.

Re: Costuming?
Sat, April 26, 2008 - 7:36 PMI would come as long as I don't have to work or anything but... I don't know how to sew (shame). -

Re: Costuming?
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 12:13 PMThat's what the hot glue is for!
...uh...just don't wear your bra when you're doin' it!

Re: Costuming?
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 5:55 PMIt's a known fact:
Step one: learn to bellydance.
Step two: learn to sew.
Step three: Join twelve step for MAC and Kuchi addiction.

Re: Costuming?
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 8:34 PMI think I skipped the sewing part and went right to the MAC addiction. -
-
Re: Costuming?
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 9:39 AMWhich is perfectly OK... a MAC addiction is a good thing.
Just be sure to take a moment to "change things up" every so often, and go to Sephora, to get addicted there ;)
