Mardi Gras Beads and Stuff
It's a pity this picture doesn't show up better: because this one is a gem! It's scrap-tasticly well put together with non matching left overs.
Is Granny Missing a Carpet?
This costume is really odd, the bra and belt don't match, but the skirt? What is that?
Floating Cups
I love the skirt, I think it's really elegant, but the floating cups are a bit strange to me, they make the whole thing look out of balance. If this had a normal bra I'd buy it!
Circus?
For some reason this costume doesn't look much belly dance to me, but more like something you'd see in a circus.
Gold Costume
I like the bra, but that red thing in the middle should go, that is so strange. The skirt is not bad either, except for that odd bit at the belt that is made of a totally different fabric.
Blue Costume
This is being sold as professional belly dance costume, but it's more for beginners. I think if the cups are closer together, instead of that weird little strap that makes a gap, this would look a lot better. Unfortunately there is silver embellishment around the cups, from a distance the bra might look like a pair of eyes.
Bra is missing a part + belt is on fire
One site of the bra is only half covered with fabric, this will give the dancer a strange lopsided look. The belt just burst out in blue flames. No, this is not one of my favorites. I love the color though and I think if this would have been made differently it could have been a great costume.
Brown and White Costume
This one is such a mix of combinations I don't know where to begin... First the cups don't look properly made: the tops of the cups are too flat. The added stones on top of the cups don't match the rest of the costume. They are repeated in the belt, but the color just doesn't work. The fringe, there is just too much of it. The cups have a line running around them, and that is just not nice in a belly dance costume. The belt is odd, that's all I can say about the belt.

Targets
There wouldn't be so much wrong with this costume if it didn't have strategically placed flowers. Personally I find the skirt on the skimpy site, you can't really do turns in a skirt like this.
Scary Costume
Couple of days ago I went to see the movie 'Bruno' (from Sasha Baron Cohen) and this costume reminds me of that scary woman in the movie, yuk!
Round 30
The competition was tough, but Theda Bare-a (found by Elska aka Saxon) triumphed! The challenger this week is Belly Roll, which was shared by Kira.

*editors note: personally I don't think the Belly Roll is that bad.

Round 29
Katie's Death by Doo-Dads is back for another round! Theda Bare-a, found by Elska aka Saxon, will take on the challenge. Who will win - a crappy scrappy thrown together costume or an awkward construction that doesn't leave much to the imagination?

Poker Anyone?
I suppose this costume wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but it's such a theme costume you couldn't wear it often:
Round 27
Anne's Lettuce dance won last week. The challenger, Dead by Do-Dads, was found by Katie.

Targets
If those white beads weren't used in circles, or not used at all, this would look very different:

The Infamous Brick Costume
A golden oldie, remember? This was posted on Bhuz.com couple of years ago:
Princess Leia...
is missing her belly dance costume... The wouldn't be so bad if the bra would have been covered with fabric first. The belt can't be saved.

Biker Shorts
Nothin wrong with the costume except for the biker pants. Do we really need cyclers' shorts in belly dance fashion?
Face Veil Tacky? Then You Haven't Seen This!
Being sold as "stripper belly dance circus couture cloak":
Scrap-tastic
I really really don't know if this one can be saved... It's a very 'what were they thinking' moment
Butterfly Bra
I really don 't like the shape of this bra and I think the plastic straps wouldn't be too comfortable. I find the embellishments on the bra a little shapeless, and the butterfly on the belt has a very strange placement of its legs:
