Belly Dance

Well, I've been doing some research in making my costumes for the dances we are doing in June.  I need an Egyptian style costume for the drum solo piece, and a gypsy style for the gypsy piece later on.  Here are some ideas...

I really love Midna's costume from Twilight princess, and it has a belly dance feel to it.  If I play it right, I could make it an Egyptian style belly dance costume... I just need to add pieces to it to glitz it up a bit.

 Here is the costume... I think I would like to make the whole thing for a later cosplay costume, but add other glitzy pieces, and remove the cape/headdress for the dance itself... would be too much for me... something like this below... as in the belt over the skirt, and similar for a bra piece... something that would work overtop but not attached so I could make the costume work without the 'glitz' as well.

 And as for the gypsy style... first thing I thought of was this...

 Or maybe her dance costume... although I think part of me likes the 'everyday' one better.

What do you think?  I am not so sure right now how this will all work out.  I think I need to get 'second skin' for the Midna based costume so I can 'paint' (or maybe sew actual fabric) over it in the right places... I don't know.  I watched a tutorial on that.  As for Esmeralda... I think a white gypsy top, purple circle skirt, and a dark blue 'corset' would work.  I'm thinking of visiting the local mcc to see what I can find in terms of fabric and clothes. 

What would you like to see?  What do you think would work?  I'd love some feedback!
