3.0 out of 5 stars Tribal Bellyance Costumes Aug 7 2012
By Satine
Format:Paperback
This book a bit pricey for what it is. What it is useful for is giving basic ideas. It is definitely for beginners. Specifically for those interested in costumes for modern "American Tribal Styled" bellydance costumes. It is not a book for anyone who does re-enactment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book I Always Come Back To When I'm Designing Dec 5 2003
By Shelley Ashfield
Format:Spiral-bound
I'm a costumer of the Philadelphia area bellydancers, with over 30 years of sewing experience under my beaded and bangled belt.
When I'm drawing up a new design for a customer, "Costuming From the Hip" is the book I always come back to for advice and moral support. There are lots of other wonderful books that address the sewing techniques that go into a costume, but few that address the unique concerns of a bellydance costumers.
