Hello Fellow Costume Junkies!<\/span><\/p>\n

I recently got a hold of one of these babies and it is really a nice bra that makes a really nice vintage\/retro look…<\/p>\n

Here’s the Bra – The Va-Bien – Available in Many Places – but take a peek at it on the Bare Necessities<\/a> website. At $44 it might seem pricy — but if your cups runnith over – and you
are making your own bedlah – this might be worth the investment. This model goes up to a G in some band widths! (I’m sure it’s avaible from other websites – hunt for the best deal!)<\/p>\n

Like the bra line? Here are some inspirations for how to use it to make a nice retro
look — Here are just a few vintage dance clips from the ’50’s on YouTube Taheya<\/a>, Naima Akef<\/a> and Naima again.<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice that in these clips the bra is essentially a strapless – but with a decorative “strap” that goes up the center to the neck. Think about the strap as more of an embellishement than a source of support.<\/p>\n

Of course, with a convertable bra of this type – you can make your belly dance costume with any strap style you desire. But for women in need of true support for magnificent bounty, I would stick with a classic set of wide over-the-shoulder straps to a V in the back near
the closure.<\/p>\n

Nothing like a little Retro\/Vintage Bedlah Glam…<\/p>\n
