Thank you! The decorations are pieces of old jewelry and vintage-look Victorian-style Christmas ornaments I took apart to make the appliques.
Look closely, and you might be able to make out the metal tassels on the bra. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Since that project, I haven't completed anything else from scratch, although I have one stunning costume completed except for the beadwork, but I've been to busy or lazy to finish it. *hangs head in shame*
BTW, when I first started belly dancing, I didn't know how to sew. And yet, not six months after I started taking classes, there I was, making my first costume. Here's a pic of my very first. I wish I still had it, for nostalgia's sake.
