As you become a more seasoned and mature dancer, it’s only natural that you want more coverage over your skin.
Or you’ve got a more conservative audience that may appreciate more coverage for dancers.
Or you simply feel more comfortable with more coverage. Many of us do.
So you may try to increase coverage by putting together a mish mash of items.
...or try to create a one-piece dress by searching for a commercial pattern to adapt, only to realize there isn’t a very suitable one. One would think it would be easy to find something similar in an evening gown pattern, but….. no.
...or you may bite the bullet and buy a full dress only to find that dresses on the market are often very tight and make you feel like a sausage packed in a casing.
...or what about having a designer attach a built-in bra into a dress? That would increase the price of the dress by quite a lot!
So what should you do?
Hi! My name is Mao Murakami, and I’m going to help you create a well-fitting belly dance dress based on your own unique measurements.
I believe every belly dancer should feel beautiful and confident on stage, no matter what age or what shape.
And in this special Hourglass Belly Dance Dress Premium Course, I’ll take you through my dress making method step by step, so you can avoid mistakes and create a gorgeous dress that lets you have more coverage, comfort and style!
"With your impeccable instructions, I completed this dress! So thrilled with it. Very comfy. I can't believe I made it. How you design and pattern make and convey this info is amazing. You are brilliant. For a total novice to pull this off...thank you Mao!"
-Sandra, Hourglass Belly Dance Dress student
If you've been searching for a belly dance dress pattern or dress making instructions, this course is for you!
But the course has a prerequisite - being able to make a basic belly dance bra. You're expected to be able to prepare a bra base and straps yourself (I'll show you how to attach them to the dress in the course).
Got no or very little bra making experience? Email me at mao@sparklybelly.com and let me help you figure out what to do!

"I finished my cabaret dress! I posted pictures of it on the Sparkly Belly FB page, and got lots of positive feedback.
I learned so much doing it. I really did not know anything about sewing in a zipper, etc. I had done harem pants and circle skirts based on your tutorials, but never anything that was actually constructed, like this dress!"

"I am super proud of the outcomes. It was my very first time to make a full dance dress for myself including a built in bra!"

Here are words from other people who joined this course:
"Putting in a built-in bra is really exciting."
"I love this style you have come up with. especially the way the front draws the eye in (hourglass shape) even though you may not be that style at all (which I am not)"
"I'm excited to learn how to connect the bra and skirt because my body is not the same as pre-pregnancy, I'm getting more and more interested in dresses."
"What I love about this costume is how comfortable and easy it is to wear. Because the dress is perfectly fitted to me it looks good and feels great."

More excitement from people who joined ths course!
"I am most excited to have finally found a way to understand how to shape a beautiful, classic bellydance dress."
"Definitely excited about building in the bra. One that fits. And looks good."
"The 2 things I found most appealing on this new course were precisely the built in bra and the side panels (you've read my mind)."
“Here’s my dancer in my first try at the hourglass dress course. I really enjoyed working through this course. Your directions are so clear, and the pacing is comfortable. I do still need to fine-tune the pattern (she is very tall, and I think the waist curve needs to be moved down) and the hem needs work, but overall a useful addition to my costume-making skills. Very worthwhile investment! Thank you, Mao.”

"Received lots of compliments on this costume. The drape was made to match the “flames” of my fan veils."
