Description
My dance company has been invited to participate in a circus themed belly dance show. We aren’t fusion dancers so my challenge was to come up with something theme appropriate that we could use again at other venues. Each of us chose a different color/combination of velvet and sheer sparkly knit. We’ll all have the same basic shape but each will be ornamented differently. Here is my brown and red/gold costume.
Material Notes
Stretch panne velvet, sheer sparkly knit from Halloween fabrics.

Thank you! I received a comment from another dancer/costumer saying that there is currently too much ‘white space’ between bra line and neck line and that I should either tighten the straps or fill in with more necklace coverage. I tend to agree. I have a lower bust point so I don’t think tighter straps are going to happen. Must design a necklace!

I’m excited to see all of my students’ work for that reason :) They all have different colors and slightly different designs!

I love it:) Great sombination of fabric and colour, it all sparkles:) You bra is very interesting, delicate, and it goes well with the ‘sleeves’…I don’r know how to call it:) BTW I’m a bellydancer too, especially egyptian bellydances strikes me:) And I did my costume by myself, if you want to see, just check my creations. Do you practise a lot? And what style? Greetings:)

Thank you! I think I would technically be lumped into “American Cabaret” because I borrow from both Egyptian and Turkish dancing :) I call the sleeves “arm skirts”.
