Belly Dancing Costume

Archive for the ‘Belly Dancing’ Category

Last fall, I bought a belly dancer’s scarf at a renassaince festival, but its a top, not a hip wrap. When I moved, I lost the paper with the directions for different ways to tie it and I can’t find what I want online anywhere. I haven’t worn the top since last fall and I don’t remember any of the ways to tie it.

Any suggestions? It’s 40″x40″ before the fringes which are about 6″ long all the way around it.
Once again, it is a top… not a hip wrap.

im trying to make a hip scarf.the ones belly dancers wear.i have the material but i need more coins and the stores that sell them only sell them as trim its really expensive. i KNOW they sell a big bag of those coins i just cant remember where

Okay, so during the Halloween season I work at a haunted house. Normally I use a costume they give me, but this year I want to make my own. I’m work as a vampire, and I wanted to go for a belly dancer look, since I’ve been belly dancing for two years.

Problem is, I have to cover my midriff. I can assemble everything else, but I need a top that covers my stomach, but still allows me to move around the way I want to and make it visible.

The costume I am putting together will be a sort of gothic/tribal fusion outfit. Lots of jingles, arm accessories, hair accessories, stuff like that. I just need to find a good top.

Anybody have any suggestions on where I might find one, or even just pictures I can use to sew my own top?

Thanks!
And by “covers midriff”, I mean actually COVERS it. Not some string that hangs over.
