Thread: Costume question about the "Snake Charmer" style.

Belly Dance Store.com: gallery

Can the "crotchplique" be worn to the side on the hip or does it have to be centered over my whoha? I was thinking about purchasing this to have "just in case" I need it (even though I don't perform) and I just don't like that over my crotch. Anyone already have one of these?

Has pics in her gallery with it worn to the side, with good effect. I like it better on the side.

euuu "crotchplique", that right up there with "vassles" (dangling veil crassles on costumes). why ? why? why?

That's pretty and I would also wear that to the side since it has such a big slit. The one I'm thinking of his a little different. Not sure it can be worn sideways because of the side scoops on the hip area.

I think it's the same costume, she just pushes the scoops down a bit.

Oh, it looks so much better on the side. Now I would actually consider getting one!

Thanks Zana!

Isn't that funny. The photos posted of the crotchplique being worn to the side completely change my opinion on this costume as well. Love it on the side.

I've never owend one of these, but I read a thread here on Bhuz somewhere about these costumes. If I remember correctly, there was some complaining of poor quality and beadwork coming apart right out of the bag. They're cheap enough that doing the bead reinforcement might be worth it if you're not going to work it do death in a restaurant or other high wear situation.

i agree with the people who said that seeing it worn to the side changes the whole way one thinks of it. wow, even i could be bribed into that!

That is a huge improvement! It looks so much prettier that way.

I loooove the way GABI is wearing it! It looks so different!
I never liked this costume, it seemed like "hey, everybody look at my crotch! It's blingy, you can´t look anyway else, even if you want to!" :DD
but I am surprised, how much difference in the look of costume was made by side wear of slit and apliqué.
GABI looks like she has very nice, classical, romantic costume, not cheapy crotchy costume.

WOW!! I love it. I think I might get it and see if it's as cheap as I've heard. I'm not a restaurant performer and I dance at home. A friend is having a Pigapalooza party (southern thang) and wants me to dance. I think I might do it.

Definitely better looking on the side!
I love it!

Go for it!!!

I love a lot of the Tribaret costumes I see-but so often there's a big Kuchi piece hanging center front. I don't want a Kuchi hitting my coochie!
