Every now and then we belly dancers encounter a costume for sale of which we think: 'what were they thinking when they created this one?' Especially on EBay you can have moments like this. We're talking about the famous costumes that are advertised as belly dance costume, but that no dancer would ever wants to be seen wearing, or the bra's with nipple flowers, belts with crotch-tassels (they are officially called crassels) or other weird things.This blog is about such costumes. If you have a picture of a costume you'd like to see on this blog, just send me a message trough the contact form at the bottom of this blog.
Love your blog, UBDC Goddess! I will forward it to every student dancer I know, so they learn what not to wear ;)
The impression I get on this costume is that it was designed for DragonCon and similar events, not for BD performances. The owner is a buddy of mine on Facebook and recently posted several photos of herself posing with storm troopers in it, labeling it as a Princess Leia costume.
So hey, no harm no foul, right? And Amulya's right....as long as its next owner wears it solely for its intended purpose, then we have nothing to fear!
