Thank you for the suggestion. I am glad I am not the only one that thought they looked weird.

I am planning to make the costume like Samia's in this video. I wanna choose to shades of blue. I am gonna use dark blue velvet for the belt and bra and lighter shade for the skirt. I love the simplicity in this costume. I am planning to add a beautiful crystal appliques on the bras straps and on the in middle centre of the belt. I don't like beaded loops in the belt. When I start my project, I post the pics. Meanwhile goodluck with your new costume.
You tube says this video is no longer available!?!? I wanna see!!!

I love to work with red and black. Couple more of my black and red costume. The one with my drummer has lot of work on the back side. I call this "Butt special". Some one stop me pls! I am so excited and I can't stop posting the costumes.
Please don't stop!! I am fond of strong contrasting colors in costumes. When all the colors are the same or similar it's hard to see movement. When the colors contrast sharply, every move becomes visible. I love the blue and pink!

Okay, what I am in the process of doing is hacking up a tank top with a shelf bra in it, attaching it, then I will cover the white, mismaching fabric with a lovely turquoise fabric that I have. Personally, I think I'm ruining it, lol, but I have to do something with it. I dont want to get arrested by my own police force.

The other idea was to corset up the back. But I need to do something with it, my significant other wont let me wear it out of my dressing room right now,
I love tops like this; the top on the costume I bought the other night is similar to yours, only it's black with gold beading and coins. The color of your costume is gorgeous.

I'll post pics of some of the stuff that I'm working on later.
