I got this gorgeous Turquoise Shimmer Costume from the Bellydance Shoppe a couple of years ago at a workshop. It comes with bra, skirt, gloves, headband. It has only been worn for 1 short performance and a couple of photo shoots. It is brand new and absolutely stunning! It is lots of crystals and turquoise beading. It has cut outs over each leg and the skirt is made out of a shiny holographic fabric.

Another successful event at Fullsteam Brewery! This still is my absolute favorite venue for performing. So casual and lots of open dancing. I debuted my seashell and pearl costume I made last year. I just had so much fun at the beach last week, I didn’t want my fun to end and decided to do an ocean theme costume. LOL. Song compilation is off of the Bellydance Evolution CD “Dark Side of the Crown”. I only picked and edited my song the day before so this was true improv. I also got to use my lovely Turquoise Wings of Isis again!
We just got home from a fun fabulous week at the Outer Banks. We stayed on Hatteras Island and the weather was perfect! It did rain the last day and a half, but the week of gorgeous weather made up for it. I decided this year I wanted to do a Mermaid inspired photo shoot, because I absolutely love mermaids. I made a Seashell bra and just draped some fishing net around a teal skirt. We took these just around sunset and drew quite a crowd. So much for keeping to ourselves. The water was pretty cold at this time and it was so strong. I have decided this beach shoot was just as hard as the ones on the snow. It was so windy that day and it was hard to keep my hair in the right spot. Overall, I am really happy with the way they came out.
So, less than 2 weeks and I will be at the beach!!!! Going to the Outer Banks which is one of my favorite spots. I made my daughter another mermaid tail for a photo shoot and it came out really cute, so next I am going to work on some tops w/ shells and starfish. I had started a tail for me using the same scaled concept as hers, but gave up because I was getting bored. I had given up on having my tail for our trip, but then inspiration struck while I had insomnia and started a lacy one. I used 3 layers of non-stretch fabric, so as you can imagine it was a challenge. I used a cream color tafetta, creamy crinkly, and a lace on top. I just finished the waistband casing and laying out the strips of leftover fabrics and lace that I will attach at the bottom. I am not going to make a regular fluke, just have all the fabrics draping down. I am going to wear it w/ my seashell bra/belt set I made for my photo shoot from our last beach trip. My first Mermaid Goddess Photos!! Can’t wait!
I just started this last night, so I dont have many photos. Overall it took several hours to get to this point. The most challenging was keeping all three layers of fabric lined up which was difficult because they are all sheer. I over estimated the size and made it inches larger than necessary. (Better to make it bigger and cut away, then too small and screwed). I had to resew it smaller about 4 or 5 times to make it fit. I made the casing. Just need to add elastic and all the fabric scraps as the fluke!!
