Any of the boleros may be worn with harem pants or circle skirts - over any of the blouses,caftans, or folk chemises, with a fabric-covered, beaded, or coined bra. A great costume accessory. May be made in velvet, satin, brocade or tapestry and trimmed with narrow metallic braid, fringe or tassels. For a beautiful variation, make your bolero in a bright print fabric and bead over the design to highlight the pattern. Five variations shown. Separate cutting lines for small (8-10), medium (12-14) and large (16-18) on same pattern.

Tahia Alibeck's Belly Dance Bras Pattern Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item (and the belly dance costume patterns as well) expecting actual sewing patterns for making my own costumes and it was a bunch of drawings with minimal instruction of how to actually make a costume. The name should be changed on the product to costume ideas, not patterns. The whole thing is a hand written, stapled, and photo-copied mess. Keep looking!

There is no bra pattern included.** Our customers have loved this pattern and made fabulous garments with it.

Elena's Beledi Dress Pattern (Belly Dance) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an authentic-style Beledi/Saidi/Abeya dress pattern.
The pattern itself is NOT for extreme beginners; though not a complex dress, if you want a fitted dress, you will need to add darts in front and back and take in the sides to fit your own shape, which may be challenging for beginners. If you are using non-stretch, you may also want to add a zipper if you want it more figure-skimming. Also, you need to cut your own bias strips for the neckline facing.
Having said that, the pattern directions are fairly easy to follow and clear. The pattern is well-designed. I feel it is a bit overpriced for what it is, but still, it's worth it to find an authentic saidi dress pattern that hasn't been modified or adapted away from the traditional.
Tall girls note: I am 5'11" and wanted a dress as pictured (i.e., ankle length). I added 4" to the overall length at the bottom to achieve this effect. I made the trailing drape-style sleeves, and I would recommend adding 1 1/2-2", depending on your arm length from shoulder to elbow.
Customer service was excellent from Patterns of Time, and I would highly recommend doing business with them.
Thanks, Amazon!

Elena's Beledi Dress. The versatile beledi dress is a wonderful costume for those dancers who prefer to cover up. In Egypt, as well as here, the beledi dress may be made from Asyut, the metal embroidered net shawls so hard to find. Make yours in metallic knit, sequined fabric, or any fabric of your choice. We show two styles, three neckline and three sleeve variations. Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large on same pattern.

Marhvash's Turkish-Arab Vest. Another form-fitting vest with keyhole neckline. No separate tab trim at front as in Turkish-Macedonian vest. Nineteenth century engravings show this vest predominantly in stripes but any velvet, satin or brocaded fabric could be used. This vest is also completely lined and may be worn over blouses or bras.
