Dance Costume
What fabrics could I use to create an Indian/Belly dance costume?
I need a fabric that is lightweight and allows floatiness on the sleeves and bottoms. I also need to be able to do embroidery on it…… any suggestions?
Thanks!
There are various fabrics which should work for your costume. I have used chiffons, silkessence, liquid gold, and silks for veils and costume items. Chiffons tend to be more sheer. The other fabrics are more opaque. Silkessence is available at JoAnn Fabrics, and is not very expensive. I have not found organza to be a good fabric for floatiness, as it is a stiffer fabric, used to give clothing a “crisp” look.
Shira’s website has a pattern for a circle skirt that contains a list of recommended fabrics.

Her fabric descriptions may help you focus your search better.
Usually I unwrap a yard or so of fabric from the bolt to test its floatiness, so I know if it should work well for the item that I plan to make with it.
Good luck!
