costume

[abka]

I just bought a professional bellydance costume!!!

My teacher was selling her very first costume for half price. It's only slightly used, she said she only wore the top a time or two since it didn't really fit. It's so pretty, black fabric with silver designs over red fabric, and lots of silver coins. I have to extend the back strap of the top a couple inches (it seems my chest is just a little too awesome) but that seems within even my rudimentary sewing skills. I even think I can extend the beading (just black seed beads looped around the edge). There are concentric loops of black seed beads that hang down over my stomach and when I do belly rolls it looks really cool. The costume seems somewhat unusual, It wasn't what I was expecting at all. The tag says made in Egypt so I guess it's "authentic". So excited!!!  (I'd post a picture but the top doesn't fit yet and while it looks hot topless that's not really the type of dancing I'm doing.)

Now I just need a gig :)

That's exciting, Abka! Yes, post a semi-work-safe pic soon. I'd say just plain work-safe, but bellydancing will always have an element of the risque.
