I got a true thought provoking one here. I love the embroidery at the neck, it looks amazing, but I’m not sure of the rest:

I thought it might be easier to tell if it was together; the separate photo's don't help. So I threw it into a photo editor and did a quick cut and paste job.

I think it has potential. Not sure.

I'd do a major faceplant with that "floor length plus" skirt - probably within 30 seconds. Bonus: You can wear sneakers and nobody would be the wiser! I kinda like it though.

Hahaha, yes for comfie footwear. And face plant also yes �� I don’t think it’s possible to dance in it and the design of the bottom of the skirt gets lost anyway, it wouldn’t be visible in action

I see Kilroy and his nose on the front of that skirt. All it needs is a scribbled "Kilroy was here" to make it perfect... and kinda naughty as well. ;) The neckline treatment is lovely, though.

The lacy black bra with a few doodads on it- yuck. Just yuck. That's lingerie, not a belly dance costume. A vendor at an event I attended had on display a white bra that sported side sashes tied in a bow in the back and matching straps that tied with a bow behind the neck- the ONLY alterations to a white lingerie bra. The price the "designer" wanted was jaw dropping.

Really nice rosebushes in the background. Not quite sure what's going on with the costume. Wondering what the individual pieces look like.

Clown outfit! Hahahahaha Greek Bonfire! I didn’t think of that but now it started to looks like one! Definitely too busy and personally I don’t like black and white combined with pink
