    Bellydance Dress

    I have had quite a few gigs for conservative events/audiences lately, where an exposed stomach does not seem appropriate, so I am looking into buying a dress. I do not want one with a built-in bra, because I need a lot of support. Does anyone have any suggestions -- a vendor, a style which would let me wear a bellydance-appropriate bra underneath?

    What about LRose's underbust cut baladi dresses? You can have one made to match your favourite bedlah :)

    Shaia, I know Andrea just came back from Cairo with a BUNCH of new goodies - you can email her at simonesveil@att.net with your measurements and see what she's got.

    Also, I don't think you can go wrong with a luxury velvet beledi dress from L. Rose. You can get the neckline cut to just under the bust so your costume bra shows, and you can wear a bedlah belt with it too for extra bling.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I find that an undercut dress really accentuates my cleavage, which makes me look sexier than if I just had an exposed abdomen -- all the attention goes straight to the bust! I'm talking *conservative* crowd.

    Oh, and you can also try posting in the "In Search of Something Belly Dance" forum here on Bhuz. I found the perfect gold and brown costume there by posting what I was looking for, my measurements and my price range.

    Lrose will make their beledi dresses with a sweetheart neckline that is very flattering, a pinched vee neckline, or round neckline. You can wear your own supportive bra underneath and a bedlah belt. Decorate the neckline or just wear lots of beautiful jewelry. They are so well made and machine washable too!

    They can also be ordered with cold shoulders, variety of sleeve options including sleeveless with gauntlets, and with underarm cutouts.
