The costume for a belly dancer should be exotic. It should enrapture the viewer and frame the dancer as a work of art. It shouldn't make you go "WTFbananas?!?" This blog showcases the costumes that make us all ask "What on earth were they thinking?!"

I'm a bellydancer and thus see a lot of bellydance costumes. Now and then I may post some of the really beautiful ones, but mostly I'll be showcasing the ones that make me laugh. Many people will disagree on some of these, and that's great. Tastes differ. If you find your work up here, I'm sorry for the shock, but maybe you can take a little comfort in the fact that your design probably made me laugh for ten solid minutes. The term "fug" is a contraction of "f***in' ugly." It was used extensively by the late blog "You Knit What?!" (which I also laughed long and hard at, being a knitter.)

wow....
this one is is really weird and kind of funky.
I usually shop at http://www.missbellydance.com and they have some qulaity stuff there. not what you in this blog :)
I have to say I like the skirt. It could be cute with the right tribal fusion influence for the rest of the costume. I normally agree with you on all other costumes, but I gotta love this one. :)
That's okay, you can like it. You're right, if layered over some jazzpants, it might look somewhat less... er... Well, I'll concentrate on your dancing and just giggle behind my hand ^__~
