Costume made of Scraps

Another golden oldie....
At first it doesn't look that bad, but take a look: cheap trims at the arm thingies, kind of plastic like chiffon for sleeves and a mish mash of colors on the bra

But it gets worse! You need a moment to take this in: the ramdom plastic looking rhinestones, the green plastic beaded string around the roses, the plastic golden fringe and that trim at the top...

I hope the bra doesn't fly off with the money. At the same time I think if you want a good old ugly costume you should at least have matching pieces. Maybe the skirt can be saved. No i am serious, it could be used underneath another for layered effect.

Amulya's Ugly Costume!

I just dug this one up. Not sure if I shared this one yet, this was my first attempt at making a belly dance costume. Shame that the details aren't really visible, so I'll describe it for you hehe:
The top was a bra that I used without replacing the straps, I just sew the sequins right on there (by stretching the straps). The fringe on the bra was plasic stuff already melted on a string (easy, you don't have to make the fringe) I cut it into pieces to make that triangular effect. (bra wasn't even lined!)
The 'belt' had the same plastic 'fringe' stuff around it and here is the best thing: the golden fringe is furnishing fringe LOL.
Why I made it like this? I had never seen a belly dance costume up close, only pictures that my grandfather took in the 60's in Egypt. Costumes were very skimpy in that time and I tried to copy those cossies (where else could I get inspiration?) so that's why the belt is so thin and there is so much leg visible.
