Yay! My first male belly dance costume! :o)

**Qamar60** · 12-30-2010 07:28 PM

I'm as excited as my customer is.

A young talented dancer of our troupe, Pierre, needed a more "serious professional" costume and ask me if I could give it a try.

Since he is working part time only and still a student is psychology, we did our best to keep the cost low and recycle some stuff I already had. Including fabric, acrylic stones and sequined ribbon the total investment was about $25!

The top is actualy a beautiful stretch velours with silver accent. It look strange on the pics because of the flash, but it's soft and comfortable.

Yippee! I finish it this morning and He will wear it for a new year eve party restaurant gig.

I already have other costume projects for him. He going to dance a duet with and other one of my young protogé, Florence. I going to help our troupe director, Khadija to design our first woman/man duet costumes! But meanwhile, here is the happy customer

Awesome- & seriously, can you make another for me if I send you measurements? This is along the lines of what we were thinking for our next number, but I have NO time to sew!
ETA- I even have the trim already...

Fantastic job Qamar, he looks great!

**banatsusan** · 12-30-2010 07:51 PM

**ZanaRaqs** · 12-30-2010 08:06 PM

Absolutely fantastic!!

**etoile** · 12-30-2010 09:10 PM

Wow! That costume is great - it looks fabulous on him.

**emma-bessa** · 12-30-2010 09:39 PM

I´m SO impressed!Très beau for only 25$:O
The structures,trims,jewels and fringe is so harmonious yet will show up on stage;
really like to see male bellydancing costumes like this,because it´s glamourous without being distractionally skimpy.

(dare I say the dancer looks charming himself?

)

**PassionWarfare** · 12-30-2010 10:04 PM

Qamar, you are SOOOOOO talented, dear! He looks absolutely fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself. I always love seeing your creations, thank you so much for sharing!

**Andrea2** · 12-30-2010 10:25 PM

Very nice! It's shiny but still masculine.

**_Kepi_** · 12-30-2010 10:26 PM

aww he's cute and well dressed! great costume! It bothers me how some male bellydance costumes are either too effeminate or too naked or too cheesy. this is all good.

I completely agree.
He looks great. Excellent design.

**MellyBelly** · 12-31-2010 01:52 PM

Wonderful job Qamar! I met Pierre at IBCC in Toronto last year and he is such a sweetheart. I think the design is perfect!

**Athenaserpent** · 01-01-2011 05:59 AM

Simple and chic! I'm sure it'll look fabulous in motion!

**AngelicaDances** · 01-01-2011 10:23 AM

Saw him dance in at last night and it looked great! Now he needs a matching cap

**Darbla** · 01-01-2011 10:42 AM

That is awesome!!! Professional looking, and he looks hot!!!

**tigerb** · 01-01-2011 11:03 AM

Thank you for blowing away the myth of the requirement for a bare male midriff! He looks wonderful!

**zorba** · 01-01-2011 12:30 PM

I like it. If I were to wear it, I'd want more - quite a bit more - at the hips. But that's me - everyone has an opinion. I like the fabric, I like the plunging neckline which gives PLENTY of room for necklaces, pendents and the like. The bling trim is a nice touch.

I wasn't aware of a "requirement", mythological or otherwise, for a bare male midriff (or a bare female midriff for that matter) - although I do *personally* think that in a troupe situation a male should have/not have a bare midriff to blend in with his dance sisters. If he's a soloist, he can do what he damn well pleases...

**SpicyThai** · 01-01-2011 12:59 PM

He looks terrific--flashy enough for bellydance but still perfectly masculine. Fantastic job!

**ANA_bellydancer** · 01-01-2011 01:12 PM

Great job! Congratulations!
