Egyptian BellyDancer Costume

There are various styles of bellydance outfits and each style has its own color combination and variations with different colors. Wearing this traditional dress adds very much to your personality when you are in the flow of the dance, as bellydancing involves movement of your whole body along with the costume while dancing.

Although the Egyptian BellyDance Costume has some similarities to others there are some obvious differences to the designs, as well as to the music, essence, and expression involved in the Egyptian belly dance. These are very easy to spot once you are familiar with all of the different styles and designs.

With an increase in the popularity of the belly dancing tradition there are so many more designer Egyptian BellyDance Costumes which are made and now available. A popular costume consists of two important parts: the upper portion of the bra and the lower portion, which is very comfortable and is full length. There are two places on which the fringe is attached to the bra, one is across the base and also in a large V which stands outside the cups. Further the fringe attaches to the belt portion.

The shape of the bra used in the Egyptian BellyDance Costume has lead to many designer creations for the different belly dancing styles.

A special outfit also includes a belt with it and the design of the belt can be made stylish with different high to low distinct patterns. The front side of the belt is almost rectangular in shape and the back side is in a half circle shape and covering the buttocks. The belt of the Egyptian bellydance dress is one piece with clean edges and straight while Turkish belts usually designed in two parts.

So in total, the Egyptian BellyDance Costume includes a bra, belt, skirt, and matching rectangular veil. The fabric which is used in this costume is a chiffon blend edged in seed beads and the pallets. Along with the dress there are accessories which are added to give a different look. A headband and hand bands are some of the items which can be included for the Egyptian look. There is also a special body stocking which is made of mesh with either tight or lose weaves.

Turkish BellyDance Costumes

Belly dancing has its own fashion which started ages ago. Every region has its own belly dance styles and unique costumes. Turkish BellyDance costumes are also one which has its own charisma and it consists of bra, belt and skirt.

Turkish Adult BellyDance Costume

There are a variety of designs which are available in this special costume. Accessories are also included within the costume like a headband, necklace, wrist or arm cuffs, and even unattached sleeves. Turkish dancers have the flexibility of showing their full leg and so, gowns and pants are avoided in this style of costuming.

Included in the Turkish BellyDance costume is 6 to 18 inches of beaded fringe attached half way up the bra cup with its center piece draping between the cups. An alternate style is fringe the attaching to the base of the bra and extending up to the back and across the front.

The basic thing in both ways is that the fringe on the belt attaches to the base itself. Turkish BellyDancing involves two main types of traditional dancing known as Raqs baladi and Raqs sharqi. This special costuming must have the traditional look corresponding to these two dance styles.

Turkish BellyDancer Adult Costume

There is also designer Turkish BellyDance costumes available along with the traditional one. The bra styles can vary in the designer outfit and some of the varieties of bra shapes are half vest, asymmetrical half top/half bra, or there are large diamond shapes on the bottom of the bra.

American Belly dancers had special belly dancing techniques with many revealing belly dance outfits. Some of the common characteristics of this costume are its superior quality, and equal proportion of sizes like bra and belt will be of equal proportions and are perfectly centered.

Most of the time the belt is given a V shape, and the full costume comes with sheer pantaloon or skirt with either no decoration or a minimal amount of it. The dress also includes a veil and the fabric tends to be of good quality chiffon or polyester blend.

The Turkish BellyDance costumes come in various sizes and shapes and they are of contrasting colors and the stitch work is sturdier. Finer attention and detailed works on the skirt, as well as bra, are done to make it look more attractive and designer inspired. Accessories are also heavily decorated to make it look good with the traditional costumes.

Buy Costumes offers a selection of bellydancer costumes to choose from. Pay them a visit and find the one that works for you!

What Belly Dancing Instructional Videos Are Good?

Artemis Mourat made a Turkish dance instructional, but it’s more like staged Romani dancing. It’s a GREAT video, but a little different from the old-school Turkish I always identified as "belly dance".
