 |
| Left: Same outfit on two different bodies; my version of a basic dance costume. Right: Simple top and skirt meant for festivals with cold batik hightlights on sleeves and base of skirt. Can be worn alone, with a choli vest, or with a corset for different looks. Far Right: Thrift Store vest worn over classic gomlek and salvar from outfit above. |

| As of now, this is my "classic" outfit.. I've danced in each of the layers and gotten wonderful comments on the outfit. I've worn it as a Turkish Rom, Classic Ottoman, and French-occupation Egyptian Streetdancer. Layers help a lot in Texas weather! |
| Left: My very first public outfit! Blue skirt from my practice outfit, and a geometric felt nightmare covered in batik fabric (my honey's outfit is cut from the same piece of cloth). Far Left: Blue practice top (duct tape choli!) Right: Not exactly a dance outfit, but an example of wrapped garment costume in my satyr costume for a local LARP. |
| Left: me modelling the ATS outfit for my first performance with my renfaire shirt underneath and bunched into the choli. Below: Me dancing at my first performance at Mirage: Night of the Rising Stars in December 1999. |
| Left: Me dancing at Excalibure Faire in Spring 2000; note I hadn't discovered the difference stocking make to a Classic Turkish outfit! Right: Two different (and hot!) weekends at Excalibure Faire 2001. I'd added more pieces to my Historic Collection and replaced the red and light green anteris with more flattering pieces. |
