center piece or no?

jenlindseys · 12-28-2007, 12:19 PM

any advice is welcome!
simple question
I added this rhinestone button type thing to the white costume because i thought the "in between cups area" looked a little lacking.
Let me know what you think?

after

It looks gorgeous! A big improvement!

Michelle75 · 12-28-2007, 12:25 PM

YES, keep the center piece. It looks very nice.

Lesgemini_Zafirah · 12-28-2007, 12:32 PM

I vote YES! Well done! It looks much more polished-It just looks "right".

resullivan · 12-28-2007, 12:48 PM

I like the center piece. I tend to like those sorts of designs anyway. I'm getting started on a blue set, and trying to figure out what to use in the center myself

jenlindseys · 12-28-2007, 12:53 PM

thanks ladies! i bought this at walmart for like $2....kinda crazy, but i thought it was sooooo pretty!

laura 2 · 12-28-2007, 12:56 PM

I have the exact same set in gold, and now you have me wanting to do the same thing! It looks great!

jenlindseys · 12-28-2007, 01:10 PM

haha yay! check out the buttons at joanns and walmart (if you have one)
I think they're the same at both places...maybe cheaper at joanns if you use a coupon :)

I agree Jenn, makes a huge difference to the look of the bra Nice idea!

Adishakti · 12-28-2007, 01:24 PM

It looks great, and kudos for the bargain!

tahiradancer · 12-28-2007, 01:38 PM

Very Nice! :-D

ommia · 12-28-2007, 08:51 PM

Very good addition -- the stones really add value and a completeness to the bra.

Asra* · 12-28-2007, 10:18 PM

Yup. Ditto the rest - I like it much better with the center piece. Good job!

anala · 12-28-2007, 10:23 PM

Idea for next time...go to ebay and search for " huge vintage rhinestone brooch" - for 10-12 bucks you will find some of the most outrageous bling -perfect for above the slit or between the girls

miriamgamal · 12-29-2007, 12:21 PM

I like it much better with the brooch!

jenlindseys · 12-29-2007, 01:52 PM

:) thanks.
Here's a picture of it on w/black accessories!

Hey Laura! Where did you buy your set from? I got mine from someone on ebay... so I'm just curious where it is from originally.
Thanks!

I got mine new from Belly Dance Costume Boutique - At DancingRahana.com.

Jenn - white is beautiful on you.

I'll give the dissenting vote here - I like the concept and look but I don't like that brooch per se with the style of the bedlah. I think maybe a big pave rhinestone button or buckle (shoe buckles would be the right size) would look more part of the cossie. This one is totally pretty but it seems a little plopped on.

Maybe detailing the belt fringe tops with a similar button/brooch (top of waistband) to improve the "it was designed this way"

I completely agree that something there adds zing and it looks totally fine, just thinking next level with it if you want to keep experimenting.

This is not the right shape but the vibe:

or this one for $1.80

basil1 · 12-31-2007, 09:39 PM

Definately keep it!!! I have a gold set like it and I added a between the bosom embellishment as well ;-)

tahiradancer · 12-31-2007, 10:09 PM

The next thing you cna think about doing is add sew on rhinestones (marquis shaped) along the upper edge of the bra and bigger ones between the fringe falls on the belt. . .

I did this on my Pharonics Seawave bedlah because, being single coloured, it isn;t very dynamic!
