A classic! This one was being sold on EBay as belly dance costume (as if!). People try anything to sell and 'belly dance' seems a label they love to put to their items:

Nowhere in the description did this costume indicate it was for Halloween, but I think that "SEXY ARABIAN BELLY DANCER COSTUME" is pretty scary!

This costume was found by the amazing costume detective Karnak Claire!

Return of the weird bathing suit belly dance costume thingy. What's up with the crotch fringe? When do people learn that that is FREAKY?

"I didn't know our costumes were incomplete until this seller told me this was perfect for belly dance. Oh, and burlesque, Las Vegas, cosplay, Burning Man, Halloween, Fantasy Fest, and Mardi Gras. It's a multi-purpose garment, don'tcha know."

Not only is this just weird as belly dance costume, but it is weird as mermaid costume as it has a flat tail just hanging off it. And why do some sellers feel the need to show off bum cheeks?

I feel like emailing this seller. How on earth can you sell something like this? It's not even half finished. It makes us all look bad, as if we dancers buy a bra and slap some decorations on it :(

All I see are some upcycled undies. Don't get me started on belly-burlesque, I have heard that some dancers have created some good belly-burlesque fusion, but the problem is that burlesque adds to an imagine we are trying so hard to get rid of. Nothing wrong with burlesque on it's own, but please keep it seperate.

I didn't know these things were actual costumes, but according to the sellers they are. Wow all this time I didn't know I had a closet full of costumes!

Is wrong with sellers? How can you sell an unfinished bra?

Nassels again! This is just a plain lingerie bra.

Shame I can't show the face-make-up, it was priceless: black lips with extended lines and fake stitches, very strange. This 'costume' is just a lingerie piece with some feathers added...

-always cover a bra with fabric
-replace the shoulder straps (and cover with fabric)
-replace the back straps (and cover with fabric)
-a belly dance bra shouldn't look like a lingerie bra.

People keep forgetting that decorating a bra this way doesn't make a belly dance bra. Don't forget to first cover the bra with fabric! But some poor student might buy this and think it's ok.
