One more thing to mention (if slightly off-topic) is that careful accessorizing can pack more punch than a great bedleh. I've seen very ordinary sequin base with layered fringe bedleh look *smashing* with a well-cut skirt, matching sleeves (especially bell sleeves!) or lots of bracelets, a fancy necklace, really big earrings, and a headband.
