Thread: Salome costumes?

Sorry if this has been posted before - I tried a search and couldn't find one - but I'd love to see people's Salome costumes! I have a 7 veils dance I've done in other costumes but would like to make one like Rita Hayworth's. I don't know if it will happen. I'm traveling and then have about 9 days to put it together - right now I don't have the right fabric or decorations, and will be without my serger... Crazy? Yeah, but I'll probably try it anyway...

I would love to see what other people have come up, or what you consider a Salome costume could be like. I know Rita's isn't the end all be all of Salome costumes of course, but it's pretty iconic and wonder what other people envision Salome like? Thx :)

(sorry, couldn't figure out how to get the accent on the e in Salome)

I originally made this costume for a Salome character piece, but I liked it so much I ended up using it for other things and later sold it to another dancer who wanted to wear it for a NYE gig.
