Need costume color suggestions

stardancer · 12-03-2007, 08:33 AM

I am getting a new Bella for Christmas and am trying to decide on colors. Does anyone have any interesting color combinations to accent either a kelly green, a purple, or a black costume? I already have a black bella with fuschia pink accents but hubby said I look good in darker colors so maybe black with a different accent color. It's so hard to choose!!

I have a black bella with fuschia and turquoise accents for sale! LOL!

What about a really dark purple or dark royal blue, or dark teal? What colors do you wear in your every day life that make you feel great? What do you wear when you're going out for a night on the town?

I wear a lot of black in my non dance life. I thought teal would be good also but I have a dark navy and turquoise costume that looks very tealish already. I don't have purple or royal blue. Both of those might be good suggestions but what color to use as an accent? I don't really want silver or gold as the accent.

Now, you know I love that costume but it won't fit me! Check out my new tag line. I put it there just for you....

What about copper? Or if you want a color, green, yellow or orange look spectacularly smashing with purple. Complimentary colors and all that...

If it was me, and I was going with purple, I'd go with lime and copper accents. Very different, kind of exciting!

I think I just squirted tea up my nose!!

I like the idea of purple and lime green.
Also, what about purple and a lighter shade of purple, like lavender, or something in between?

I think black with green (kellygreen/lime) accents is beautiful. I got one like this but had to sell it, because the skirt was to short :((((
still crave for this color combination!

I got black with turquoise/red and royal blue with red accents. Love 'em both.

mahira-michelle · 12-03-2007, 08:56 PM

What about Royal Blue with Pink accents? or Royal Blue with Lime Green accents? I have a royal blue costume with lime green accents and I love it! (it's not a Bella though) Both of these color combos are pretty and fun.

That is gorgeous, but I really fell in love with the bordeaux one on your site. Wish I saw that when it was up for sale. *sigh* so many Bella's so little money......

I'm not an expert on Bellas, but I always thought the dark green/ iridescent purple/ silver combination is lovely- like the French Quarter costume on Dahlal.

aazura · 12-04-2007, 09:10 AM

I literally woke up this morning and thought "Star needs a green and blue costume!" Either green w/blue accents or the other way around. Either would be beautiful on you!

mahira-michelle · 12-04-2007, 11:49 AM

Sometimes it helps to see a certain color combo together. Like I said in my above post, I have a royal blue and lime green cossie, but it's not a Bella. But here's a pic for color reference.

Purple and gold has a sort of royal feel to it.

Surida · 12-04-2007, 01:25 PM

I've been thinking about making a chocolate costume with raspberry and gold accents or eggplant costume with light and dark amethyst and gold. Trying to be a little different.

CareyDances · 12-04-2007, 03:57 PM

Brown and baby pink!
I'd love to have a brown and baby pink bella!!!!

oh...I just sold that one last week!

anyway, I thought of another color combination suggestion for you: brown & turquoise! that's so pretty and fashionable.

Make sure you specify to Bella what shade of a particular color you're going for. I've neglected to do that in the past, which is how I ended up with a teal Bella, not green as I had asked for. The teal is awesome, though, and it remains one of my favorite costumes! Just make sure you say "deep" or "dark" with whatever color you are requesting.

perizaad · 12-04-2007, 04:14 PM

Ooo, Ooo, how about a copper costume with turquoise accents? I've seen a Sim/Legend style costume like that and it was just gorgeous!
