Looking for particular cheap hip belt

ssipes · 09-21-2007, 12:08 PM

Earlier this week two of my students showed up to rehearsal with some really cute hip belts. They were made of stretchy elastic string that was sort-of crocheted into a net-like belt. The string was covered in lightweight sparkly beads, and the belt had long beaded fringe. They fastened in one place.

They said they bought them for about $12 bucks at a store in the next town over that went out of business. I had never seen anything like them.

They would look awesome with our student group's new lrose dresses that are on order.

Has anyone seen such a thing, and if so could you point me to a vendor?

Are they the ones that are talked about in this thread?

I have seen them on ebay, but I think they are usually in Hong Kong so shipping bumps up the price a bit:

I think there was a thread about these a while back, will see if I can find...

Hi - If these are the "stretchy" belts I'm thinking of, MY TEACHER sells them (And she's a Bhuzzer!); just go to her website: www.nilajabellydance.com/catalog You can search for them under "belts" and "Best Sellers".

I have at least five of them: two metallics (gold & silver) and three primary colored ones. They're awesome!

Thanks, I emailed her through her website.
