Thread: how much are you REALLY spending on costumes

I think I'm going with "Don't ask, don't tell"!!!
.w.: .w.: .w.:

Maria what a wonderful idea! It's a great way to put old costumes to use and to help out students at the same time. I think I'll start doing something like this as well.

Jes, you might want to think twice about coming to Costa Rica, Yemaya's going to sell some of her costumes off. ..l;,

My rationalization is that as a more tribal-inclined dancer, I can and do wear many pieces mundanely, from skirts over jewelry to bindis. In fact, did that yesterday, when we had friends over for dinner; some pieces like my Turkuman coat have been used more often as street wear. I also buy costuming pieces with the explicit intention to decorate the house.

Much too much. Just ordered two and bought one off the rack, so just I spent 860 Euro in costumes. But
A) I hardly fit into any of my costumes after pregancy so I need something to wear while getting my sizes back and
B) I just sold 3 costumes to buy 3 costumes

I bought 4 Bella's in 2007 .w.:
And am now struggling to pay the rent and car insurance..
'Nuff said

eta: I did sell one of them via Bhuz, but still..c::

me... not enough! as I only dance at home I don't really have an excuse to buy costumes!

funnily enough my fave outfit for dancing is a lingerie piece from Cairo in a bellydance style. it's sooo comfortable and looks pretty fab.. slip on slip off.

In 2007 I spent $3596 on costumes, maybe even more 'cause this is according to paypal and I might have payed with a bank transfer for another costume.. ouch!

Oh wow. I ordered 7 Bellas in 2007 and if each ones comes to about $850-$900 after shipping fees and wire transfer fees, I paid at least 6k in costuming last year. But again, this doesn't include how much I recycled that costuming money when I sold some Bellas.

costumes that I bought in 2007 and didnt sell....... equals to= 3000..........
That I remember.....
