Summary: Second in the series, repeats the first.
Comment: Enhanced version of the first book (Costuming from the Hip) and not as comprenhensive as the third (Bedlahs, Baubles and Beads) this book is a good beginner's guide to creating belly dance costumes. The information is well laid out and easy to follow with good illustrations where needed. A nice variety of illustration styles throughout helps inspire ideas and the extensive list of resources at the end is a terrific way to round out the book. A good volume for the novice costume maker.

Rating: 5
Summary: Inpirational and Informative
Comment: This is a good book for any kind of costuming. I don't bellydance, but I do attend a lot of events and parties where costuming occurs. This spiral bound book is very helpful...patterns, ideas, and inspiration. I'd recommend it to anyone who costumes, and to anyone who sews their own clothes.

Summary: Good starting point
Comment: This book is excellent for beginning tribal style costuming. There were two drawbacks to the book. It doesn't go into a lot of depth on many of the issues (I was disappointed that there wasn't more on coin bras), and assumes the reader has a decent knowledge of sewing. The nice parts of this book are a good explanation on various jewelry, mehndi, simple instructions on tassel making and the incredible bibliography. I'd definitely recommend it as a good starting point for developing your costume, but you may want to look elsewhere to fill in the details. Fortunately, you can get ideas where else to look from this book.
