Just a few short weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending Rakkasah West 2016. One of the ensembles I spotted, and absolutely fell in love with, were the costumes worn by troupe Neshee Dolu. This troupe is directed by my friend Sara Shrapnell, belly dance instructor and my co-author for the upcoming “Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Student to Stage.” What I fell in love with is how simple and elegant these ensembles look on a wide variety of body types. Since I know her troupe will be wearing different costumes next year, I think I may have to pick up one of these ensembles for myself. If you find this ensemble appealing for yourself, or your troupe, scroll blow this image for click-through links to the Dahlal website.
Happy Costuming,
