Ugly costumes
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love some of the stuff others think is ugly and I am sure it is vice versa.
What is ugly to me is badly made..like a sadly trimmed bikini ( which is one of those) or tasteless.
2 of my friend's costumes are there and no way are they ugly in real life..beautifully made and maybe not to everyone's taste, but great in the "flesh" and on the right person.

I don't consider ugly, for one minute, the ebay item I just posted but some of the ideas behind it don't work for me.
For instance if you use a pretty print fabric, you ease up on the appliques. make a fabric work for you. Belly dance bras can be successfully based on a lingerie bra but it has to be the right one or it looks like what it is!
