Belly dancing clothing & accessories

One of the main appeals of belly dancing for many women is the chance to dress up in exotic costumes and jewelry.  Even if you are just starting to learn belly dancing, you still need a great costume to put you in the mood and enhance the experience, and it’s quite possible that the clothing is the reason you chose to try belly dancing in the first place.  There are so many different kinds of belly dancing clothing & accessories that it can be difficult to know what type is right for you.  Let us help you by letting you know what is available and how each item is used.

The first part of choosing belly dancing clothing & accessories is finding a great skirt.  It is such an integral part of the outfit that it is important that you select the right one for you.  There are many different kinds of belly dancing skirts to choose from.  Long flowing skirts are very popular because of the way they move when you dance and also because they offer the highest level of coverage for the legs.  These skirts can made from a variety of materials and embellished with wild prints, intricate bead work, feathers, embroidery and a variety of ruffles.  There are also plenty of short sexy skirts for those who like to show a little more skin and dresses for those women who prefer a one-piece costume instead of separates.  There are also harem pants available if you’re not a big fan of skirts and dresses.

The second part of choosing belly dancing clothing & accessories is selecting a top.  The top you select will depend mainly on your coverage preferences.  There are bra tops that keep you mostly exposed, midriff tank tops, long sleeve bell tops, choli tops that tie above the navel, halter tops that cover up the belly and others that leave it uncovered, and even vests and caftans for additional coverage.  Once you have decided what style of belly dancing top you want, you can choose from a variety of embellishments such as coins, lace, ruffles, and fringe to make the top an exciting costuming piece.

The third part of choosing belly dancing clothing & accessories is finding the jewelry and other accessories to go with your outfit.  Belly dancing jewelry can be a lot of fun as there are so many great pieces to choose from.  Necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets and earrings made of gems, coins and precious metals can adorn your body and make you feel like a belly dancing princess.  More unique jewelry and accessory items such as belly rings, headbands, coin belts and finger cymbals are also really fun because they aren’t items that you get to wear every day.  Don’t be afraid to accessorize your belly dancing outfit as much as you like.

In addition to the traditional belly dancing clothing & accessories, there are also many other exotic items that you can add to your costume to make it your own.  Veils and scarves are fun because you can wear them on your head, move them down to cover your neck, tie them around your chest or hips to accentuate certain movements, or float them romantically through the air while you dance.  Additionally, cover-up items such as caftans or robes are nice, especially for performers, because they let you cover up as needed without having to change your entire outfit.
