DIY costume for oriental belly dance: step-by-step instructions
Sewing an adult belly dance costume will be slightly different from the children's version.
Firstly, a bustier bodice is used instead of a top. Secondly, a skirt is often used for the lower part. To create a bustier, take a bra of the desired color, fabric (main and lining) and decorative elements.
The working process:
- Draw a pattern of wide straps on paper;
- Cut out the details of the straps and give them rigidity using cushioning fabric (dublin, non-woven fabric);
- Sew the straps to the bra, while covering it with the main fabric;
- Decorate the resulting product.
To ensure that the skirt does not restrict movement, it is better to use the “sun” model. In this case, when sewing the parts together, one seam should be left unstitched. It should bare the thigh. At the top, an elastic band is inserted into a specially prepared niche. Also, with this execution, you can leave two seams open. Or the skirt can consist of many separate panels attached to a belt.

Yakutia: territorial location, climate, history, culture
At the moment it is part of the Russian Federation, in the Far Eastern Federal District. The climate there is harsh, northern, with short summers and long winters, during which the air temperature can drop to 50 degrees below zero. This factor explains the use of fur and leather in the costume. As a people, the Yakuts (aka Sakha or Sakhalar) descended from the Tungus, Paleo-Asians, Mongol- and Turkic-speaking nomadic tribes. For this reason, the details of the national costume contain traditional elements of clothing of other nationalities. In ancient times, the Yakuts professed a religion called Aiyy.

Historical reference
Yakuts live in Yakutia and the Krasnodar region. Small national communities live in the Amur region. The Yakuts also live on the territory of Magadan and Sakhalin.
The first national costume appeared in the 18th century.
It consisted of outerwear with natural fur and some decorative elements (embroidery, metal parts). Then coarse fabrics, furs, leather, silk were used .
The Yakuts were mainly engaged in cattle breeding, so they used natural leather, suede and furs for their wardrobe. Usually, short-haired animals were “exploited,” but the fur of long-haired animals was also used for insulation.
Important! Long-haired fur was used for decorative purposes, decorating the collar, cuffs, and the general perimeter of the outfit.
Jasmine costume - how to choose shoes?
- A Princess Jasmine costume is not just clothes, you will also need matching shoes or other footwear to go with the outfit. It’s good if the masquerade takes place in a kindergarten where there is a warm carpeted floor, then you can wear socks and shoes are not necessary. And if the masquerade is in a large room without any coverings, then you need to seriously think about what is best for the girl to wear. If you have ready-made shoes in a neutral color, as in the photo below, then you can safely put them on and not think about the problem.
- If not, and the masquerade is tomorrow, then sew the shoes yourself. For the sole, use thick fabric, you can even use felt, like some slippers. On top of the slippers, or rather for the front part, use brocade. She will come in very handy. The shoes themselves will consist of three parts: the sole, two parts of the front. The bottom is cut straight to the leg.
- It is enough to trace the sole and cut out the product. The top is two trapezoids with sharp corners, sewn together. These trapezoids are sewn precisely along the side with the sole. And the toe of the shoes should be curved upward. To do this, you will have to gather the fabric and bend it. They fix it all with wire. To make it easy for the little princess to walk, sew on an elastic band that will hold the shoes on the heel. Decorate these shoes with beads, rhinestones, sequins, whatever suits your taste.

What did you wear on your feet?
Shoes for both men and women were high boots - thousand etherbes. They were made from the skin of the shin of a deer - kamus, and stitched with felt. In such shoes one could feel comfortable in frosts down to 50 degrees below zero. Another option is a torbaza. Such shoes were made of cloth and leather and lined with felt and wool. It was trimmed with red fox, silver fox or beaver fur. The most popular shoe colors: gray, beige, brown, black. Of course, the women's version was decorated with beads, embroidery, and fur patterns.
Summer shoes were called terehe and were shortened boots.
Ritual clothing
Among the Yakuts, a special person was responsible for communication with spirits - a shaman. His attire was different from the costumes of ordinary people, and some of its details could have a special ritual meaning. For example, many costumes were decorated with fringe, reminiscent of plumage, along the sleeves and on the back. This design symbolized a bird. By wearing such a costume, the shaman was able to “fly” and communicate with other worlds. In addition to fringes, to identify oneself with a bird, their images were applied to the robe itself and used as pendants. These were mainly loon, crane, eagle and duck. The main material for tailoring was stallion skin with the hair facing out. The shaman's headdress deserves special attention. The material was the skin from the head of a stallion, on which the ears and mane were left. Such a headdress was not decorated in any way; ordinary people could not wear it.
