Thread: Holiday Contest#2 - there will be 2 winners!!!

How fun!!

I love coin costumes. My current fave is an antique bronze bra and belt paired with brocade harems and a tribl-ish Flying skirt.

I love flowy chiffon skirts slits on both sides with a 4" fringe bedlah. Pharaonics or Bella style fringe is preferable. Love tons of bling!
It's not often you get to be a princess at my age!

This is so fun!

I adore old school/Samia Gamal style costumes.

Lots of chiffon skirts and a blinged out bedlah. The classic "tribaret" style is a close second though.

Hmmm, I'd have to say that my favorite costume style is the elegant sparkly kind. Like a blinged out Sahar.

But I also love the tribal fusion that incorporates mens-wear type style and '60s - '70s American cabaret.

Yay! for contests, as far as costumes go? I like the glitzy style ones with a vintage flair whether vintage or modern takes on vintage styles, they always make you feel sexy and classy and
mysterious all that the same time.

Oh what a fun idea! :-)

I like anything shiny, glittery, and glamorous. Hope that helps. ;-)

I love all styes ... but I have a special place in my heart for 1970's AmCab style costumes, that's for sure!

great prize! I love modern styles with tons of crystals, velvet and slight fringe. Bellas and Pharaonics are my faves!

I absolutely love super glittery costumes with tons of fringe that really emphasize your curves and movement!

Happy Holidays!

Bra and belt
but not that much fringe

And I can never decided between coins and other bling, so I love the sets with BOTH

My favorite costume style has lots of silk for color and flow. I like things more covered, and love costumes that incorporate unique and vintage textiles.

Great contest! I was really digging the sleek modern for awhile, but I am back to the AmCab style fringy bedlah and circle skirt right now. Throw in some epaulettes and I am happy!

I'll never say no to a draw with fun prizes!
Right now I'm really feeling the sleek modern look with high quality, interesting fabrics, mermaid skirts and lots of crystals.

I'm torn. But what I do know is that I LOVE coin costumes - I live how they jingle when you move, and I definitely love the vintage mata hari style stuff - lots of pearls, lots of sumptuous looking fabric and costume jewelry.

Granted, I also adore unique costume models - thinking like Nesrin Topkapi's half robe, and Sohair Zaki's colorful coordinated bodystockins. J'adore!

Tribaret coins & glitz, Designer cabaret...for me the best part of any costume is the veil. Flowy, shimmering silks, iridescent chiffons, off beat non traditional fabrics...love them all :)

Yay! I love girly fringe-y Sims. I'm also fascinated by the cut-out bras that Sim, Bella, and Legend are using these days with all the lovely scroll work/filigree.

At the very moment it's my pretty pink beaded fringe bedlah (by Shahla) and chiffon skirt.

super girly glitz for sure!!!!!!

Modern style costumes with lots of crystals and sequins!! BELLA is my all time favorite costume designer.

Well hello, fellow Bhuzzers!

In general my favorite costumes are glitzy and super feminine! Style-wise, I love a good two piece costume set with a "mermaid skirt" (read: not a bra-and-belt) and not too much fringe obscuring that beautiful dancer! It's not that I don't like the ever-versatile bra-and-belt bedlahs, but something about a costume set just sets me to drooling!

SparkLy bedlah & fluffy skirt. :)

Win a prize? Great!

My preferred costume style is a fitted dress - with lots of sparklies - maybe cutouts- but not too much fringe.

Love vintage Bellas from the 90's, but find the modern sleek styles so easy to wear (yay, Eman!). And God help me, but I love the first Sahars that came out .... the "unique" ones ..... total costume addict here ...

Costumes I love them all really.

Anything with great big AB crystals gets my attention every time, not a huge fan of the turkish fringe monster styles though.

I think I love asymmetrical the best- short fringe, not super long, and mega rhinestones and sparkles. I like elegance with sass!

I am tiny but I love vintage fringe monsters that have glitz and bling. I love the weight, feel and smell of the costume and making it authentic with a twist! Sassy and fun!

I honestly don't have a favorite style - my costume choices depend entirely on the venue and the music. I've worn everything from sequin-and-sparkle bedleh over full skirts to slinky lycra dresses with rhinestones and beading... and then there's the "tribaret"/ethnic/tribal looks, with coins and cowries and assuit... I love it all!

Ooooh- a Princess Farhana DVD. That's an awesome prize!

As for costumes, I like modern Egyptian costumes with a lot of bling on the lycra!

I love a more classic look: bra, belt, and huge circle skirt! In general, though, I'm a fan of simplicity, so I'm not big on cut-outs and other complicated features, whether classic or modern. I like designs that continue to look good year after year, not trendy ones that end up looking dated.
