I looked for a while before posting this, so I do apologize if this has already been mentioned.
Is a sari dress an acceptable coverup for your belly dance costume?
I'm a pale, tall, narrow-hipped American. Unfortunately I have a flair for the ooh-purties, and I just cannot get over how incredibly beautiful, mysterious, and dramatic they are. It's not just the fabric (which is stunning), it's the overall cut, drape and flow of the entire piece, which is incredibly flattering and lovely.
I also have a hard time reconciling myself with caftans, khaleeji dresses and the like - I never find myself pleased with them. They have a frumpy kind of feel to them that I can never seem to get past.
So do you think I could get away with it? I usually dance at a local Indian restaurant that is owned by an Indian gentleman but almost exclusively visited by Americans, so I wouldn't like to commit any stage gaffes.
