Easy Costuming Ideas

Bellydancing is my favourite career move, along with the requisite costume creation. I teach belly dance classes and workshops, and have also given costuming workshops. I plan on taking fashion design classes in the not-so-distant future, in the hopes of bettering my costuming skills. In the meantime, I've collected several costuming ideas for your perusal.

I include all you see here, and much more in The Omphalo-Stepses Belly Dance Costuming Book.
