I didn't want to hijack Jingya's thread, but speaking of belly dance in China, have you seen this movie: My Mother is a Belly Dancer movie trailer - YouTube ?
Hi Amulya, it is a crochetted skirt that I picked up for $5 from a bargin bin at Syd Med Fest. It was so pretty I couldn't pass it up at that price but never had anything to wear with it until I made the bra/belt pictured. I'm still toying with different ideas on how to lengthen it though.
