Bedlah, Baubles, and Beads is a book about designing and crafting the elaborate bra and belt sets worn by contemporary belly dancers. Also known as "dance oriental" and "raks sharki," belly dancing has numerous sub-styles that are defined not only by their movement vocabulary, but also by their distinctive costuming. The first part of the book provides a conceptual framework by starting with a history of this costuming style and its origins here in the United States. From there, it concentrates on introducing the reader to design principles, methods, and techniques for developing figure-flattering styles. The second part presents the materials, tools, and processes for putting together an elaborately decorated bra and belt set. Step-by-step illustrations for applying beads, a fabric shopping guide, and directions for constructing the bra and belt bases are all illustrated with descriptive diagrams to aid the reader. Finally, the book finishes with a portfolio of styles and ideas for expanding the performance wardrobe. From skirts to accessories, these chapters introduce the essential garments that transform the bra and belt into a complete costume. Detailed topics include: * Step-by-step illustrations of beading techniques, including back stitch, couching, tambour beading, scatter beading, and more. * Directions for making high-quality bedlah, from concept to finished costume. * Techniques for developing beading patterns using clip art sources and transforming images into dynamic designs. * Fitting and covering bras and belts. An extensive bibliography is included.Shipping Notes

Comfortable, clean white sneakers for any age (I hope)

Comfortable, clean, and make me look cooler than I actually am
These Bruno Marc white sneakers are my attempt at staying “casually stylish” at 50 without embarrassing my kids or trying too hard. Good news: they’re insanely comfortable right out of the box, fit true to size (13 for the win), and somehow stay bright white no matter what I do. Bad news: they might actually be too white. I keep waiting for them to age a little so I look like a laid-back dad, not a dad who just walked off a mall mannequin stand.
They’re lightweight, cushioned enough for all-day wear, and pair with everything—from jeans to the “I give up” shorts I wear on weekends. Still not sure if I’m cool enough to pull them off, but they make me feel like I might be… which is basically the whole point, right?

Affordable shoes that actually hold up
Size: 8, Color: White
I bought these for my son to wear to a quinceañera since he needed plain white shoes and I didn’t want to spend much for a one-time event.
They ended up being his favorite pair. He’s worn them to school several times a week for the past 7 months, and they’ve held up really well. There’s some normal wear, but they still look good and he says they’re comfortable.
I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price and will likely buy another pair soon.

Very nice look
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown
Very nice look, sole is comfortable, inside upper leather is a bit stiff. Not enough to hurt but not soft. I would purchase another color.
