These instructions describe how to make one of the basic components of a belly dancing costume, the circle skirt. Although it's not appropriate for historical / folkloric performances, if made out of natural fiber such as cotton, it can serve as a variation to a modern-day American Tribal Style or tribal fusion look. Made from shiny fabric such as tissue lamé or charmeuse, it sparkles under the stage lights of a nightclub or catches the glint of the sun outdoors.
This skirt made of 2 or 3 half-circle panels drapes gracefully over the hips, falling into a full hemline at the bottom edge a variation to a modern-day American Tribal Style or tribal fusion look. Made from shiny fabric such as tissue lamé or charmeuse, it sparkles under the stage lights of a nightclub.
In the photograph to the right, which was taken by Jeff Halpin, I am wearing a 3-panel circle skirt of turquoise tissue lamé, and over that a darker blue accent skirt made using a circle skirt pattern with some shaping of the lower edge. Click on the photo to see more detail.
