If you are on a budget it may be difficult to find a custom belly dancing outfit. A lot of time and labor can go into creating a belly dancing outfit and therefore the price can be higher than expected. Not all hope is lost, there are many places online to purchase affordable belly dancing outfits. Here are some ways you can save money but still look amazing and elegant in a belly dancing outfit.
Don't forget about used clothing. You can always check out your local second hand shops. Sometimes there are some nice vintage skirts or big necklaces that would look great paired up with a hip belt for belly dancing. You can purchase many items for a huge discount at second hand stores. You never know what some people are giving away.
There are also local classified websites. The clothing could be brand new or slightly used. You can check out pictures of the clothing and even try it on before purchasing. Your neighbor could be selling a whole collection of belly dancing costumes that you didn't know about. If you are looking for something simple and inexpensive then your local classifieds would be a great place to check out.
You can always check some auction sites online and get in early with a great bid. I have personally used auction sites to purchase several of my belly dancing pieces and have been pleased with the way things went. I continue to use auction sites as a place to purchase my belly dancing costumes and accessories.
Student belly dancers do not need to worry about paying too much. All you would need as a student is a simple hip belt with a few coins. If you are practicing then any basic hip scarf will work well for you. If you are a professional belly dancer and do not want any wardrobe malfunctions to happen then you will probably want to opt in for a better quality scarf, top and bottoms.
There are many places to shop for affordable belly dancing outfits. Try browsing online to see what you find. Pick a few favorite website and go from there. There is a great variety of outfits and costumes online that vary in shapes, sizes, fabrics and prices. There is something out there for everyone. Take your time and choose something that fits your personality. The perfect outfit is out there somewhere!
