Recommended Posts

I don't know how Vegas could be Vegas without a belly dance troupe, or at least, have outfits for such a troupe. I would make this myself but I'm unfamiliar with how to make nifs....so, here's what a good belly dance store would contain:

 

-Egyptian/Cabaret style dress

-Turkish style dress

-Saidi style dress

-Tribal style dress

 

Cabaret:

-Usually one color or like colors

-tight-fitted skirt

-embroidered beading, but few dangling beads

-long scarf optional, but headband recommended

Examples:

Turkish:

-Similar to Cabaret in style, with a few exceptions

-Belt is usually seperate from the skirt, and belt and bra have lots of sequins; dangling beads

-Skirt is typically flows more, made of chiffon

-Colors are usually dual and contrast each other well

Saidi:

-More traditional than the showy Cabaret or Turkish

-Wears a robe or dress, with a bra, alone, or with a hipscarf

-Usually an accessory is used such as a stick, cane, or sword

-Sometimes a turban or egyptian beaded coif is worn

-Colors can be bright or settle, and patterns can be elaborate or traditional.

Tribal:

-Inspired from traditional tribes of the middle-east and surrounding areas

-Colors are dark and earthy

-Few or no sequins; most embellisments are old coins, shells, and feathers

-The hair can be worn up or down, and when worn up, decorated with many things.
