Poor Kid!

Apparently a belly dance outfit. Look at the poor kid's expression in the original listing

It's looks like it has been washed in too hot water.

Etsy Again

I seriously suspect this is just some cheap thing from EBay... not made by the seller at all.

'Burlesque Fantasy Showgirl Belly Dancer Costume'

I discovered this so called 'Burlesque Fantasy Showgirl Belly Dancer Costume' (there is no such things as belly burlesque showdance whatever, but ok..):

http://www.etsy.com/listing/80472348/burlesque-fantasy-showgirl-belly-dancer?ref=sr_gallery_9&ga_search_submit=&ga_ref=auto&ga_search_query=belly+dance+costume&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

but this costume actually comes from EBay China:

Note: there are several sellers on EBay with the same design, because even the makers themselves are ripping each other off!

The Etsy seller has at least gone out of her way to take new pictires...

Costume Envy

If you want to get serious costume envy you should have a look at Sandra's costumes. They are some of my favorites.

You probably wonder why I posted so many beautiful costumes lately. That's because I came across a lot of amazing costumes I can't help but share to counter effect all the thought provoking stuff I normally post.

Leafy

Maybe something can be done with the materials? Btw the 'belt' are underpants.

Noooooooooooo!!!!

Not one of these again. I have seen these in my town in a belly dance shop that has otherwise good decent costumes. Why do sellers do this?


Read Users' Comments (1)comments

Why?

There was a normal costume to start with, why add all that stuff?

A Bra Only?

Sometimes you come across something that looks good, but you wonder where the belt is (so 'What Were They Thinking' counts here). Some dancers are really good with mix and match, I am not one of them!

Another Pretty Costume

How does the bra stay though?

Bra

Not much wrong here, but the bra is a bit heavy with the silver band going around the cups. The wonky nipple accents can go.

A Pretty One!

I would love to have a costume like this, but in another color. The use of cameo's is cool and the necklace is beautiful too.

Collection

The fringe and lace at the bottom of the bra can go. The belt? No idea how we can fix that up.

I like the bra:

This bra as well:

The belts are just to messy for my taste:

Really?

Bad appliques and we've got a belly dance costume? Shame because the bra is properly made.

I Really Like The Skirt

Maybe they are pants, but I like that idea with the split and jewelry :)

I love this costume! A positive way of 'what were they thinking' :) I wish more designers would be this talented. Shame the color doesn't suit me. This one comes from Etsy by the way.
