Performance costumes that offer lots of clubwear potential. Flowing dresses, super-ruffled flamenco skirts, shiny ice-skating minis, romantic tutus, bellydance midriff tops and hip sparkles, watercolor prints, quite a bit of velvet, and the accessories pages feature satin streamers and other fun things to dance with. The underthings present some interesting lingerie alternatives with items both for camouflage and flaunting – and for more casual moments, leggings, legwarmers, and palazzo pants.

Bellydance wardrobing: long full skirts, harem pants, velvet cholis and corsetty little bodice tops made from recycled sari fabric, veils both glittery and tie-dye, hip scarves loaded with coins and fringe, hair tassels, kuchi jewelry, belts and bras that jingle, swords and cymbals, and a little bit of straight-up leotardy dancewear.

Dancing separates and full costumes spangled with shine: harem pants and veils, skirts and hip scarves, cholis and fringy bras. The sparkly coins of the look are present in anklets, belts, handflowers and necklaces, but industrial and art deco influences surface in the Tribal section through some rather wicked chokers.

A drop-dead cross between salsa and bellydance, with the traditional silhouettes of each remixed with vibrant prints and head-turning details. Choli tops with super-fluttery bell sleeves, full skirts and tribal jazz pants spiced up with contrasting panels, sparkly Egyptian dresses, heels, veils, kids’ dancewear, if you’ve ever had your heart set on a tiger-print tassel belt, this is your place.

Salsawear that throws quite a bit of Marilyn Monroe in with the ruffles and pixie hems. It’s all made from machine washable stretch fabric, lots of halters, ruching, fluttery little sleeves, with sheer-panelled pants and coordinating tops if you’d rather go the separates route. Dance shoes, hair flowers, and even glittery bras that make for good bellydance costuming.

Bellydance finery that just drips sparkle. Fringed bra and belt sets, silk veils, coin-festooned hip sashes, Egyptian gowns regal with rampaging embroidery, absolutely stunning costumes for the pro dancer, glittering swags and jagged skirts and tons of eyecatching details. Finger cymbals and other musical instruments as well.

Just what it says: bodices, breeches, handkerchief skirts, sashed shirts, ruffled jackets and swordsman pants, with some bellydance sparkliness. Bracers, pouched belts, tricorns, bandannas and thigh-high cuffed boots, with pewter drinkware and pistol replicas to provide the drama.
