This up-to-date version of Amulya's popular Thought-provoking Belly Dance Costume thread comes to you to celebrate being back online after a long downtime.
The emphasis should be not so much on "Oh, good lord, what was the designer thinking?" as it is on thoughtful analysis of design perfections and problems and what might be done about the latter to bring a costume into balance. Posting of outrageously bad/good costumes is acceptable but do try to avoid uninhibited slamming of costumes that are obviously home-sewn with great love and little skill. Professional costumes are fair game.
