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.

The hip drop is a common belly dance movement that involves using the oblique muscles to create a movement from the abdominal area. Learn about using the obliques to pull the hip up with help from a professional Middle Eastern dancer in this free video on Egyptian belly dancing.

A reader asks…
 

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.

Question:

I have just started belly dancing and I want to buy myself a pretty scarf. Most of the scarves available cost at least 50$ and I don’t want to invest this amount till i get a little better.

Do you have any suggestions where i can buy reasonably priced scarves of good quality.

Any websites / store suggestions are welcome. I live in the Seattle area.
