Patterns Again

First of all, this is just not so nicely made, but it's never a good idea to advertise a bra with boobage leaking out underneath.


Belly Dance Costume?

Nowadays everything gets sold as belly dance costume...

Copies of Famous Costumes

Copy of the famous Jillina's Peek-a-Boob costume. Of course not a very great copy and this thing has been for sale forever, but if it wasn't for the peep-a-boob part it wouldn't be so bad


This one was advertised with Ansuya's picture next to it. Of course Ansuya's costume looks better.

Weird Embellishments

An embellishment that somehow resembles male genetalia is never a good idea

Collection

Bra and belt should of course match


A crotch flower is never a good idea, especially a big one like this:

There is nothing right about this one:


It seems they ran out of fringe when making the belt

Collection

This looks like a swarm of amoebes attacked the costume. What is that weird bit at the bottom of the belt?




Not much wrong with this oone, but take a closer look: they ran out of fabric, beads and rhinestones when working on the bra. The bottom of the bra has a different fabric then the rest.

Here We Go Again

In this case it is quite scary, not only are these ugly, have strategically placed adornments and skimpy skirts, but the worst is: these are costumes for little girls! I really worry about the designer who thought this was appropriate for little girls. Scary!

Again: What Were They Thinking???

There is absolutely nothing nice about this one, the top is saggy, the belt is massive, the embellishment on the belt looks really strange and that massive fringe! And then under the fringe there is a bit of velvet and suddenly organza, it just doesn't make sense. Waste of materials.

A Classic!

This is one of those classics, you really can't say anything about it. Don't you love the weird pose of the manequin :-)

Bum Peek-a-boo

Something has really REALLY gone wrong here. How do you wear this? With nude panties so people think you are a bare bum dancer? And somehow it looks like there are 2 eyes on the bum cheeks!

Belly dance Costume????


It's being sold as one, so it must be one! Did you notice the model is holding the skirt down, I think this is a costume malfunction waiting to happen...

Unusual Bra

This is the most strangest bra I've seen (apart from the mickey mouse bra, all those bra's with hand prints or the bra's with third boob space)

The Famous Corn Costume!

This is one of the most famous 'what were they thinking' costumes. Adorned with miniature corn cobs nicely arranged so they look like nipple flowers...

Thanks to Saidah

Attack of the Nipple Flowers

Again.... will they never learn?
I do like the fringe though!

Hands.....

That Dina wears these costumes, doesn't mean we have to copy her. Or do we????
Not only that, what's up with that tiny strap between the cups, that doesn't look sturdy at all (and 3rd boob space)
Thanks to Frances

Drapes, Handkerchiefs, or What?

On the top it's not bad, but that sad bit at the belt looks cheap. The striped pants with polka-dots are rather odd with this


Keeping the Costume Pieces Together

I don't know about this one, can we save it? The nipple flowers got to go and the connection piece between the bra and belt, but then it still doesn't look too good.
If you look closely the manequins head looks freaky...

Attack of the conical bra

Looks like those nipple flowers (or what they are) will just start spinning and take off. Not to mention the giant fringe and the fact that bra and belt don't match....

Straps

So many straps and the bra is asymetrical, actually is there a bra in this costume, maybe not. It's such a pity because there is a lot of work in this costume.

Conehead Belly Dancer

I really like the color of this costume, but that's where it ends. Why such giant embellishments and what is up with that hat! What on earth is that?

Thanks to Zahrah

Flying Fish and Winged Poo

So from the front it looks like this costume got a flying fish on the shirt (and hands on the bra)


If you look closely you can see part of the sequins have already come off. Yes this is el-cheapo!


The backside is so bad! From a distance it looks like the model sat down in a glob of poo... poo with wings that is...

Thong Costume

No need to explain what went wrong with this design....
Thanks to Jane

The Biggest Cut-Out of them all

This costume has the biggest 'cut-out' I've ever seen, basically the whole skirt! And it really is see-trough. What is the point?



Little hand prints?

Lots of things are going on in this one: there seem to be tiny hand prints all over the place, the 'cut-outs' on each bum cheeck have leopard print behind them (are those the panties?), but from a distance the nude colored bit in the middle will give a very strange impression.


Coins, Nipple Flowers and Crochet

All in one! Since the model has to hold this thing up I think there must be something seriously wrong with the shoulder straps. Not only that, but the gold coins on the top and the bigger silver ones on the belt don't match!

Oil Accident

This dissaster looks like it's some sort of nasty accident with oil.

Early Tribal?

UBDC's already existed long time ago... This one seems very tribal, but it got the classic elements of an UBDC: nipple adorments, badly constructed bra cups, 3rd boob space, strange looped fringe on the belt, sparse fringe on the cups and last but not least: where is the skirt?

I like the head dress though :-)


Spotted Dick again, from a Distance

When you see this hipscarf you'd think there's nothing wrong with it (except it's worn backside front), but wait.... (scroll down)





From a distance it has a total different look....

A otherwise not too bad costume (ok we have to forgive the mardi grass beads), but what is it with that fluff?



This discovery was by Amy at http://tribes.tribe.net/uglyfunnycostumes

A bird landed on her boop and started shedding....

Blue and Gold

The design is too lumpy and the bra cups are uneven. Besides that I still think it doesn't look right


For the Patriotic American Belly Dancer

These strange items were listed on EBay as belly dance items:




Bonus for today, a costume with a face! And what are those sharp bits doing on the fringe?

Another Collection

The Madonna of the middle eastern set:



This looks rather like a bra made of left over stuff from old projects:





Not only is this tacky, it's also the el-cheapo look

For the All American Dancer

Another Latin Dance Dress Disaster

Also in other dance forms they find the need of using what's left over in their scrap box:



Is this a bathing-suit-belly-dance cross bread?

Not sure what this is, it looks like it is some sort of bathing suit. We should check the backside

Oh no, it's worse..... it's a thong!

Collection of Strange Embellishments

Here is a collection of classic 'what where they thinking' costumes!
