      Belly dance costumes usually consist of three parts: a midriff-baring top, a sequined hip belt, and a low-waisted skirt or bloomers. In addition, you can also add a veil and corresponding accessories according to personal preferences. It should be noted that the color of the whole body clothing must be coordinated up and down to give a sense of integrity.

      

        Navel-baring top

      1. It can be made into the style of a short-sleeved blouse worn by Indian women under a saree. It is best to be short-sleeved or sleeveless, because dancing in long-sleeved shirts is too hot and uncomfortable.

      2. Embroider beautiful colorful sequins and colorful beads on an ordinary bra, but you must choose a very strong bra, otherwise it will not be able to bear the weight of the beads and the beads will be scattered all over the floor when dancing! Use nylon thread when sewing sequins and colorful beads. The sequins on the shoulder straps are best sewn with elastic thread so that they can stretch more when dancing.

      Sequined hip belt:

      It plays the role of embellishment of the hip line and enhances the dynamic feeling during dancing. Made of sturdy material such as velvet, it can be V-shaped or wavy, with a long beaded chain underneath. The belt is usually located four fingers below the belly button and is attached to a low-waisted skirt or bloomers.
