I love to share links & resources for making belly dance costumes. On the BellyArtist Cafe Blog you will find the Costume Shout Outs I've collected. Each Shout Out will interview a belly dancer about her/his costume. You'll see photos and hopefully they'll give us some tips we can use in our costume making.
