Black with blue flower belly dance bra

And an even faster way!

I bought a black sequined top at the opp shop for $1, then cut it to cover a $5 bargain bra, appliqued around the edge to stitch on the black background, while turning the edge under.

A blue sequin motif was added, and ta-da! A very very quick (and very reasonable priced) addition to the Belly Dance costume collection was created.

Just a little note, if you are thinking of doing this yourself, watch that the sequins folded under the edge don't scratch your skin - you might need to use very sharp scissors to trim the excess away.
