Lopsided Frills

Not only are the frills really strange, what's up with the lopsided-ness?

Scrap-tastic

I really really don't know if this one can be saved... It's a very 'what were they thinking' moment

(one thing I got to say in defence of this costume: the bra is covered with fabric, yay!)

A Court Jester Again?

Is It a Bird?

That thing on the belt? You got to love the ecstatic expression of the mannequin LOL

Dina Inspired?

Very unfortunate design for a belt:

This costume was found by Hadara/Haddie Rae

Funny Hipscarf

OK, I got some left over fabrics...

Can I turn them into a costume? Yes you can (no this is not an unfortunate student costume, but an item from EBay):

Lotus

This costume is totally not my taste, but I think someone could turn it into something useful by taking off the fringe and that strip of extra fabric under the bra (not sure why the maker placed it there, stuff like that tends to curl up)

Show your emotions

With your costume:

Bumble Bee

Not only do the colors hurt my eyes (wrong type of yellow combines with black), but the construction and the waterfall of fringe in the middle of the bra!

Stripes

I really don't know what to make of this, not only the color combination, the design, but also the shape is not right



Courtasy of Mermaid

Some Tribal Fun

What can I say? Suzy Nipple Tassels is probably happy with this one:

Of course it's never a good idea to have nipple tassels on a belly dance bra, but why not cover the bra with fabric? You can still see the old lingerie straps!

More Fringe

If you think the fringe overloads of previous posts costumes can't be beaten, than there is this:

Unfortunate Fringe

This costume isn't very clear in the picture, but I have a feeling that if you'd remove that fringe you might actually find it could be kind of a cute costume:

Stripes

I really don't know what to make of this, not only the color combination, the design, but also the shape is not right.

Checkered

Every now and then, a checkered costume surfaces the belly dance world, but when are costume designers going to understand this is not the greatest look?

Belly Dance Slippers

Chrochet

More beach wear than belly dance bra, according to me! Without the strange sideways fringe and with a bra incorporated this could maybe be a tribal bra?

UBDC Showdown 26: Lettuce Dance vs. The Midas Mistake

The Lettuce Dance bra is very unfortunate and comes from a seller who mostly sells gorgeous costumes. I don't think the lettuce bra can be altered into something useful, but the so called Midas Mistake isn't too bad, just a bit too much of everything.

Hall of Shame

(from the UBDC showdown)
"Suggestive Serpents, found by Sandra, won an amazing 6 rounds in the UBDC! Because of this amazing record, I am retiring it to the Hall of Shame."

Golden Cups

This one got potential, if you'd take the cups off and incorporate them into a bra:

Oops

"I know latin dancers like to show off their belly to show the moving of muscles, but just dropping your dress to go dance in your sparkling undies is ridiculous." Tink

What do we think of this one?

I think it isn't that bad, but I just find that massive octopus design on the skirt a bit odd

Melaya Outfit?

Or an outfit for a court jester?

Lingerie Bra Meets Appliques

This beauty was send in by Caitlin:

Pants

I really don't know about these, maybe underneath something, but somehow they scream 80's to me:

Polka Dots?

Bathing Suit?

"What should I do with this ugly bathing suit, this beaded fringe left over from my lampshade, and these curtains? Oh! I know! I'll make a belly dance costume and sell it on eBay! I'll make a fortune!" Klaire
