Mirage Bodystocking Premium Course

Cover up marks, tone up your body, and enjoy more costume design options!

  

I love my body and the way it looks, but my body is not perfect.

For example, my body goes through a lot of size changes...

From year to year, month to month... even hour to hour!

I have stretch marks and extra jiggles around my arms that I don't want to show people.....especially when I'm in a belly dance costume.

Belly dance costumes give a dancer this magical feeling of confidence and beauty.

You want to take that magic to the stage to express yourself through the lovely movements and choreography, and to wow your audience.

And you don't want the marks and jiggles to take away the magic.

Can you relate? :)

After realizing it's impossible to control my belly protruding more today than yesterday or my upper arms looking flabbier this month than last month, I stumbled upon this perfect, quick solution.

And it's bodystockings.

It may be called belly covers or belly stockings, but they're all the same thing - a super-fitted, lightweight garment that gives a sheer cover over your skin.

And recently, I've learned that bodystockings are much more than just a cover.

Here are a few of amazing things bodystockings can do:

  • They hide marks on your body - scars, stretch marks, sun burn etc It's like foundation for your body!
  • They contour your body without restricting your movements
  • They can be made in various colors and textures
  • They can be decorated to enhance your costume designs!!!
  • They can become bases for gorgeous dresses!!!

But there's one catch - the bodystocking needs to be fitted very well.

Otherwise, bodystockings can be:

  • Uncomfortable.
  • They can create dreaded VPLs - visible panty lines
  • Extra fabric can sag in places.

So it's crucial that your bodystocking fits you really well.

And the best way to make sure your bodystocking fits you well?

Create your very own, of course!

Bodystocking leggings

You may be wondering,

What kind of fabric do you use to make bodystockings?

How do you create the right shape?

How do you make body stockings without a serger?

I want my bodystocking to have sleeves / no sleeves / shoulder straps / snaps at the crotch / just belly cover .... how do I do that?

Well, I'm thrilled to report to you that I've been able to pack my bodystocking method and techniques and answer all of the above questions into 1 awesome course!

So YOU can skip all the research...and start creating one to fit YOUR size!

Hi! My name is Mao Murakami, and I’m going to help you create beautiful bodystockings based on your own unique measurements and design needs. 

I believe every belly dancer should feel beautiful and confident on stage, no matter what age or what shape.

"Super excited about this one, Mao!  Thank you!  I just registered. Figuring out how to make these was on my sewing To Do list, because ready-made body stockings are NOT comfortable and give me serious VPL (visible panty line), not to mention the I Can't Pee While In Costume torture.  Thank you thank you thank you!!"

Lovely costume featuring a sparkly Mirage Bodystocking by Carol!

"The Halloween hafla was a success and so was my body stocking! It really made my skin look gray like my costume and makeup—very ghostly!

One thing is for sure: these will be a wardrobe staple. Do you see all the wrinkles on my stomach? No! It truly is a Mirage!!! Thank you so much!"

-Denise

"I have purchased the Mirage the minute it came out! I was so looking forward to it, and I was not disappointed at all! I went through all the lessons!!! :) I have the fabric already so I will get down to pattern drafting! I really wanted to thank you for this course, your hard work and your attention to detail! Looking forward to many more courses in the future! Thank you!"

- Dora

"Loved the course, well organized and I love pattern making - you broke this down so completely. I can't wait to try it out and make one. Good job girlfriend!"

"Did you read my mind? I am so glad! I joined and look forward to making beautiful body coverings. I so agree with you that one dances better when comfortable with the way they look."

"Im really excited about this new course, as it's one that I think a lot of dancers can really use, whether it's to conceal scars, add some pizazz with crystals or sequins, or to 'cover' up the stomach area which can allow a dancer to perform and still follow religious traditions/ rules."

"Can't wait for the course! Thank you so much!"

"I’m so excited to try out the new dress pattern!"

"I am definitely making plans for a dress."

Peekaloons Calculator

How do I know if this course is for me?

"I don't have an overlocker / serger. Can I still make this body stocking?"

YES, you can make the body stocking using a regular sewing machine as long as it can do the zigzag stitch. (Of course, you're welcome to use an overlocker if you have!)

"How complicated is it for someone that is relatively new?"

The sewing part is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of sewing stretch mesh, which I'll explain in detail in the course. So you can practice before you start your project.

The only part that can be challenging for beginners in this course is the pattern making section. Since body stockings are really fitted (probably the most fitted things we'll ever make!), we take all types of body measurements and make a custom pattern :)

If you've never drafted a pattern before, you may find it challenging, but I'm going to explain this step by step, and include a calculator that does all the math for you!

Actually, I think this course will give you a great opportunity to take all kinds of body measurements once and for all, and record them in a worksheet, so that you don't have to take measurements for every project.... unless your size changes, but even then, you'll have the worksheets to help you take measurements again! :)

"Not sure if I will actually do it. I'm worried that it may be too easy/difficult for you?"

After watching the videos, I’m sure you’ll be excited to try! But if you’re unsure, all my courses come with a lenient guarantee policy (see below for details). So join the course now, and take your time to see if you can learn anything from it or if you want to make it at all. If not, simply email me at mao@sparklybelly.com within the guaranteed time period, and I’ll refund all your money back. I just want you to be very happy with your purchase!  

(As a side note, once the pattern was made, I was able to sew each style of the Mirage Bodystocking in less than a few hours! It may take you longer for the first time around, but once you’ve got the pattern making section down (and remember, you'll have calculators to help you with it), it should be a smooth sailing :) )

"Seems too expensive..."  

Consider what you’ll get out of this course:  

a custom-made body stocking - and many styles - that could be sold at $50+ each.  

And what you'll learn:  

  • How to make custom made Mirage bodystockings (completely based on your size or whoever you're making them for!)
  • How to create a custom pattern that you can use over and over again (with special calculators to help you avoid mistakes!)
  • Many design options to mix and match
  • Lots of tips on creating a professional finish 

You'll be hard-pressed to find a tutorial like this anywhere else!  

I think it’s a great investment! But I understand your worries, so let me take the risk off your shoulders. If you don’t see your money’s worth, email me at mao@sparklybelly.com within the guaranteed time period (see below for details), and I’ll refund all your money back.  

 

Any other questions? Email me at mao@sparklybelly.com :)
