belly dance scarves fill your bathtub with luke warm or cool water, and squeeze in a few drops of liquid soap designed for hand-washable fabrics, like Woolite. You can also a mild dish-washing soap, belly dance scarves or even baby shampoo. Make sure you use cool water to avoid colors running and shrinkage. Place the costume in your tub and with your hands, swish it around gently for about a minute. Drain the tub, fill with clean water, swish some more. Repeat this rinsing process three or belly dance scarves four times to get all the soap out. Remove your costume from the water and roll up the bra and belt (separately) in clean dry towels. Gently squeeze to absorb the excess moisture. Place your costume on a flat surface, on top of a dry towel, straighten the fringe, and let belly dance scarves it dry. If you are washing a skirt and veil that is heavily beaded, dry them flat as well, to keep the garment’s shape. This drying process will probably take 2-3 full days because of the bulk of the beads and the padding, but you will be amazed at how sparkly and new belly dance scarves your costume looks!
Costume Storage: After wearing my costumes, belly dance scarves let them air out overnight. Store your costumes in jumbo plastic zipper-lock bags - or you can use the kind that come with sets of sheets or blankets. This way, they are easy to grab and pack into a gig bag on a moment’s notice. Some dancers store their costumes in stackable plastic shelving boxes, too. Many roll their bras and belts in a small towel, and some belly dance scarves girls also put a little sachet or even a Bounce dryer sheet in with the costume to keep it smelling fresh . I usually pack accessories ( such as jewelry, gauntlets, wrist and ankle bands, etc.) in with the costume, but you can also keep a small box or zippered plastic cosmetic bag in your dance gig-bag to hold bracelets, earrings, necklaces, bindis, etc. that you will use on stage.
When packing tiaras, I use a small, round container ( cookie tins or those disposable microwave Tupperware type containers work well) to keep the crown from getting crushed. The left-over space can be used for storing bra-pads, a small sewing kit, safety-pins, a set of eye-lashes and glue, bobby pins, band aids and tampax…believe, me, all this stuff comes in handy
