This is a black widow spider costume complete with boy-toy. If
you look closely you can see the red hourglass on Dina's tummy. |
|
|
This costume is made from multi-color jewels, beads, paillettes,
sequins, and silk chiffon scarves over black velvet, lace and
rayon. |
|
|
This is simply a beautiful silver and black veil draped over
Dina, but to her it communicates the magic of belly dance. |
|
This is a bolero-style ethnic jacket decorated with red cord
in two thicknesses which Dina twisted into a pleasing design,
then sewed in place by hand. She added beaded tassels front and
back, gold coins all around the edge, and a faux undersleeve
extension in red silk. She wears this over a calf-length sheath
with red and gold metallic motifs and slit sides, red and black
harem pants and beaded shoes. A little pillbox hat might complete
the "all-dressed-up-in-the-harem" look. |
|
|
When Dina designed this costume, she was belly dancing to "alternative"
Latin music and obviously inspired by Carmen Miranda. This is
the same multi-colored costume shown above, with the addition
of calypso sleeves and a fruit and flowers headdress. |
|
|
This costume is made from black velour decorated with silver
coins, chains, tassels, bells and rhinestones. The pants are
silver and black lace and a black chiffon skirt goes over that.
Black net sleeves are sprinkled with tiny rhinestones. A silver
sequined headband is hung with silver jewelry. Dina was going
for maximum contrast here--black against skin, and silver against
black. |
