Fly Face

I must say that I like the 'snout' part, but the boob circles need to go:

Confession Time...

I own one of these o_O !!!!! I stupidly bought it at a market in India and I also bought a matching hipscarf. These just fall apart the moment you look at them. They have a very strange fit, kind of flat and the top bit squashes the boops.

It's bad enough that I bought those, but what is worse is that someone on Etsy is selling them and pretending she made them hersef.

Hair Thingy

WTF?

Advertised as 'belly dance set'

How On Earth?

Is this even remotely connected to belly dance?

"Hand made Vintage Leather Brace Set. Ideal for tribal fusion Belly dance as a centre piece for all styles of costume or for any airship pirates seeking the right equipment for high altitude raids. "

WTF??? Someone just took some old leather belts, a new corset and put that together and calls it a belly dance set?

Forgot the Straps

You make a full costume but forget the bra straps? Oh and not a good idea to model the belt so low.

Silver Flames?

Or turds? The beadwork is done really well though.

Cool Idea! Belly Dance Paper Doll Set, color your own

I think this is such a cool idea:

"Alright, this one is a bit silly and narcissistic... my belly dance partner and I collaborated on putting together this set as a fundraiser to help us buy new costumes."

Have a look at all the cute drawings:

Vintage Upcycled

"The centrepiece of this upcycled gypsy costume is a maroon belly dancer's hip wrap loaded with heavy gold coin bangles and a serious jangle. I've put this together with a vintage 1980s see through navy silk chiffon blouse with a purple and glitter print and a long flowing dark brown rayon skirt with an Indian style print. Its up to you to supply a dark bra or bathing suit to complete this great party outfit. Size medium. "

At least the seller is honest about having randomly put this together.

"And when you're done with the party, you can always take up belly dancing with the brand new Belly Dancer dancer dvd set, (complete with finger cymbals... "


I suspect a belly dance try out sadly gone wrong. Maybe she purchased that belly dance kit and found you can't just learn it like that. But she also bought the hip scarf, maybe she did try classes. It seems it wasn't a good experience.

Old Underskirt

Gets upcycled into belly dance costume. At least the seller is honest about the upcycling.

Just a Lingerie Bra...

"Hand dyed in deep purple, wine, and pink with an aqua and purple glitter treatment. Bra is stiff but still elastic in side straps. Perfect base bra for adding your own findings to or could be used as is.

Interested in a custom costume, convo me for details. I create one of a kind, amazing high quality costumes with vintage and artistic mosaics."



That has been dipped in some dye and glitter! That's all. That's not a belly dance bra!

Giant

Attack of the giant manequin. These 'belly dance' pants droop in the crotch!

A Bella????

Being advertised on EBay (Germany) as a Bella. Those things on the 'boobs' are arm pieces

Weird

Belt

What to Say?

A painting on Etsy. The problem is; the dancer is wearing a questionable costume!

When You Think...

You have seen it all, weirder stuff comes up! This 'vulva necklace' was tagged 'belly dance' and as 'belly dance necklace':

"She'll put a shimmy in your step and a sparkle in your eye.

Inspired by all of the amazing costumes from my belly dancing classes, I present to you, Beledi! Hand-sculpted in shimmering lovely lilac imprinted with a paisley patten and accented with light green inner labia, adorned with piercings, she is the perfect statement piece for your feminist friend who loves to belly dance or for the fabulous and fashion-forward lady in your life."

It's good my teachers didn't tell me that belly dancers wear these vulva necklaces, that might have scared me off belly dance forever LOL.

Advertising...

products like this is not a good idea. People are not going to buy a product that has touched your bare bum. Or maybe they will, if they are weirdo's.

Hip Scarf

Looks more like a skirt to me.

Ouch

Where are the eye drops?

Floating Hair?

"The Tassels can be modified, they will come with black 18'' human hair falls and platinum 14'' human hair falls."

It looks like her hair got detached from her head and is floating around. Very strange costume!

Skirt

Fluffy

"This was inspired by hair clothing by the Top Model show, and these hair costumes were featured in Saint Louis Paul Mitchell's Out in the Open Runway Show in 2010. These hair costumes are HOT and selling like crazy and I'm now offering them online here on etsy. Great for halloween parties and themed photography shoots, even modern dancing!"

And belly dancing as it was tagged 'belly dance'

*Sigh*

Don't they ever learn?

Belts

Belly dance belts made of jeans. They don't come with matching bras, but I am glad they don't, I wouldn't want to see a full costume of this... *shiver*

Weird

Some people try anything to sell their product. That thing on her head is some kind of belly dance head dress, apparently.

Bra Liners

I think that the problem with this idea is that it doesn't cover the rest of the bra. It would be great if the seller could make them so they could cover the rest of the bra, I think they will sell better :)
The liners for the shoulder straps could for example be separate so the buyer can adjust them to the size of the straps.

Here is the seller's link:

Belt

Apparently this was one of the featured items in a fashion show for World Belly Dance Day 2011. But it wasn't said which show and where. I think the seller just made that up.

Belly Dance Costume????

It must be a belly dance costume, because it said so in the listing.

Beautiful Costume!

A gorgeous costume on Sandra's for sale page. Unfortunately already sold!
