Seriously?

This was described as:

"Chief Iron Ass Belly Dance Costume Bra Burlesque Indian Princess Sexy Halloween"

Wrong on so many levels!

Nothing special, just the description:
"Pink & Purple Beaded Belly Dance Costume Bra Light Lavender Fairy Sexy Halloween"
If it's a costume, where is the belt?

Some of these hair pieces are advertised in the title as 'belly dance', probably to get more visitors, but I do like their products, Puppycatmeow on Etsy. Some really cool stuff on there I am tempted to buy but afraid it will be too hard to match my hair colour.

Busted! Not vintage

Remember my post from 1/13/12 called 'Tag'? Well this is from the same seller but presented as vintage this time, but it is the same price tag!

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

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.

Weird

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

Misleading

4:00 AM | Posted by Amulya

Totally misleading, this was listed as: "Tribal Belly Dance costume wig Braided Hair Extensions hairfalls hair accessories custom color Wow"
but looking at the listing a bit closer, it's not for the 'costume' it's the braids! A case of bad advertising!

I think the braids are pretty cool for tribal!

'Burlesque Fantasy Showgirl Belly Dancer Costume'

9:45 PM | Posted by Amulya

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...

Belly Dance Dickie?

2:08 AM | Posted by Amulya

Look at the zipper! This was being sold as "belly dance dickie* tribal kuchi." The maniquin is quite weird of proportions, not a good idea to advertise your products with maniquin boobs peeking out.

*what is a dicky?
