I'm going to be putting together my first real belly dance costume for the Ren Fare next year. (I made one for halloween 2 years agao using what I had on hand. This time I want to start from scratch.)
I know my season, I have my colors picked out and I know I want it to be tribal styled. But where does one begin who's never actualy made a belly dancer's costume before?
I picked up a pattern last year, but simplicity no longer has it in their catalog and it's literally a costume pattern. After much research, I question the likelyhood that the skirt is anywhere near 10 yrds.
Are there any rules that must be followed in making a tribal costume? How much is too much? Or is there even such thing as too much in costuming?
Any advice, costume, make-up, jewelry, anything! is welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.
