Turkish Hip Scarf and Costume Collections

Serena's recent trip to Istanbul in December resulted in her hauling back a selection of Turkish bellydance costumes and hip scarves!  

For those who prefer something a little simpler, here is the collection of hip scarves from Turkey.  These are also a good weight like the Egyptian hip scarves, due to the heavy beads used, and are hand-made with good workmanship. Serena's favourite is the red velvet with the 'evil eye' glass beads because it is so quintessentially Turkish with the kitschy vibe!

Pre-packed in matching organza bags and priced at SGD35 each.

   

Turkish bellydance costumes are beautifully hand-sewn with lots of sequins, beads, diamante and crystals! Here are the selections still available for purchase, prices ranging from SGD390 to SGD490.

Egyptian Hip Scarf Collection

Beautiful hip scarves made and imported from Egypt! Every bellydancer starts off with one of these. I was fortunate enough to receive one as a Christmas pressie from a close friend who introduced me to the beauty of oriental dance. It is something which I treasure and still wear till this day after 3 years of classes and workshops! So I can attest to the quality and workmanship. There is substantial weight to these hip scarves due to all that beading... all the better to train those hips for drum solos!

Serena Shimmywear's hip scarves are all pre-packed and presented in matching organza bags, priced at SGD35 each.
