π₯Belly dance costume of the weekπ₯
πThe stunning pink cosmos π
Upcycled seamed mermaid dress from Cairo with 4 godets.
A lightweight soft stretchy sparkly Lycra, moves beautifully.
The original dress was too high at the neckline, so I cut it below the bra line.
It came with a jacket which I used to cover a Dina bra,
I removed all the sequins and faded beads and replaced them with blue and clear crystals.
