Thread: Future Plotting

From an eBay thread I found this:
NWT! COSPLAY BLUE GOREAN SLAVE Stripper Dancer Roleplay - eBay (item 230325024033 end time Oct-08-09 22:49:48 PDT)

I want to pair it up with Melodia Faux assuits:

I want to make a beaded bra/belt set. What do you think about a black set? A lot of people are anti-black when it comes to bedlah. My bedlah would be more tribaret than cabaret, so if I found some teal beads, white/teal/dark teal crystals, silver accents and black fringe.. What do you all think?

Doing that would be a whole undertaking for me. I've never sewn with actual fringe or done a jeweled/beaded bra. Most of my stuff is tribal, doing tribal bras seems way easier.

Any good tutorial sites you care to share? Must-do recomendations? Excellent vendors you recommend for discounts on sequins/beads..stuff like that? Pictures of tribaret costumes that you covet for inspiration?

That is a cool costume and I'm glad you're wearing Melodias with it! LOL! I prefer the armbands with this one NWT EXOTIC DANCER RolePlay GREEN LYCRA Gorean Slave 5pc - eBay (item 230374051220 end time Oct-03-09 07:58:08 PDT)

Some people don't like black bedlah because texture and detail all in black will disappear on stage under bright lights. It will look like plain black. But, there's nothing wrong with plain black.

I like black bedlah. Mine is a simple design, just black fringe over black sequins. Black goes with everything!

Appliques are easy to sew on. Hand beading designs is harder.

Tiny details blur and disappear with distance. Lay your pattern or design out, step back a few feet, and take a look.

Dawn Devine Davina aka Dawn Devine Brown - Author - Costumer - Dancer - Historian and Dina Lydia Bellydance Costume Goddess Tells All: Enter have good books on how to cover cabaret/tribaret style bras.

Very cool idea! I think that would look great with Melos, even without any beads and/or crystals.
