Thanks. I don't have that costume anymore but I really enjoyed it

I love the design of the top on this one attached...and the skirt on the green one (without all the designs on the skirt, just the waistband and drape), but I don't like the colour on it - but that's why I sew!!

I'm definitely an admirer of Sarah Skinner's costumes, she's inspired me to do hand beading on my costumes! A nice way to spend time in front of the telly....

sorry about the size of these pix, I am a novice at doing html and attachments....! anyone able to help with resizing or is this something you have to do in a photo editing software??

Several years ago Halle Berry wore this gown at the Academy awards.
I love the colors and I would love to have a BD dress like this with a mermaid or fluted bottom to the skirt. Maybe in a color that's a little more 'copper-colored' would be my choice.

I can dream............

I love Glitzy Gypsy costumes as well, they are gorgeous!

The red & Blue costume Amulya posted is also a stunner.

I love this one. I think it is so beautiful! http://static.flickr.com/65/212090347_1218a660e9_o.jpg
You can see it better here: YouTube - Bellydance superstars 9 - Amar Gamal

Actually, i also love this: I'm sorry to put videos, canīt find them as pictures. YouTube - DIDEM THE ORIENTAL DANCER

YouTube - Bellydance by Nathalie

I also love Alla Kushnir's costume, the one with butterflies. Basicly, those are my favourites.

I found another beautiful costume: Duet :: View image :: Nour-Orientaldance.com
