Zeina Skirt with Built-in Shorts Premium Course

There's 1 problem when it comes to belly dance skirts:

What underwear should you wear under your skirt?

This is especially true when we perform on a raised stage where the audience's line of sight is looking up, and we can flash them more easily than we realize.

Or an outdoor event. We worry about a gust of wind exposing our underwear.

So I tried different things like wearing nude color underwear and not having high slits on my skirts. I've worn a pair of shorts underneath my skirts.

But they were not perfect solutions because:

Store-bought shorts are often not the right size (especially if you have larger hips, the rise is always a problem.)
Store-bought shorts don't match your costumes.
Your skirt may shift and twist over separate shorts (or you have to put in a dozen safety pins so they stay together)

Recently more and more designers are making belly dance skirts with built-in shorts, but they often come with their own problems like:

(Again) the shorts are often not the right size.
You can't wash the shorts easily.

The last point is a deal-breaker for me because I HAVE TO to clean my shorts clean especially after a 20-minute, sweaty performance.

Can you relate?

So I decided to take it into my own hands. Over the years, I tested and experimented with different short patterns that are comfortable and secure. And I researched skirt designs that go really well with shorts.

Fast forward today, I have now developed my own custom shorts pattern technique that:

ensures a comfortable fit around the hips and thighs so the shorts don't roll up.
allows you to detach the shorts from the skirt.
keeps your skirt from shifting / twisting / falling / lifting.

As well as a few styles of skirts that go beautifully with these shorts!

And I've finally put all my findings in 3 exciting designs, 1 course!

How to create these Zeina shorts to fit your unique measurements - Together we'll create an individually tailored pattern for these shorts to make sure the finished shorts will fit you really well! You'll get special calculators to help you with this, so you can skip confusing math!

A special calculator will be provided to help you create a custom pattern. It's a classic design that looks great on all body types!
How to make the shorts and skirts 'detachable' - With this little trick, you can remove your shorts from the skirts easily, and wash them after a performance. Or you can make different pairs of shorts and skirts that you can mix and match to create more outfit options!

How to create Style #2: Zeina Skirt with gorgeous ruffle details. - We'll up our game by adding these lovely ruffles to Style #1. Learn how to add sequins to the hem for extra sparkles! These ruffles instantly glam up the basic style, and add extra movements to your outfit!

People who purchased the Zeina Skirt with Built-in Shorts pre-sale package shared their excitement!

"Thanks for the class. It ended up being quite fun and I danced in the purple costume last night."

"I am particularly interested in your method of developing individual shorts patterns. The way I know how to do it is not very effective. And I'm curious about how you do the 'detachable' part!"

"The draped skirt is very eye-catching, and the studio I work with is always looking for something new and different, so I'm interested to see how that works."

"I’m most excited to learn how to make the shorts...Thank you so much for providing these amazing courses! They fire up my inspiration and creativity so much!"

"The thing that most excites me is being able to make my own custom shorts because purchased shorts never fit me. They are usually not long enough to cover my ample booty."

"I’m really looking forward to this course. I struggle to find underwear that provides adequate coverage but doesn’t disrupt the looks of the costume. I love the idea of built-in shorts that can be customized to blend and become part of the costume itself."

"Love to have an undergarment that matches the skirt which is what the shorts will do."

PLUS super time-saving calculators and pattern:

Special Zeina Shorts & Skirt Pattern Making Calculators - Since pattern-making comes with a bunch of numbers and math, I created special calculators to simplify the process! Skip the cumbersome calculation or double-check your math with these calculators! No more second-guessing :)

Unit Conversion Calculator - Using cm makes your project a lot easier! Use the handy calculator to switch from inches to centimeters.

Zeina Skirt Drape Swag Pattern - You don't need to know how to drape fabric. Use this pattern to create the gorgeous swag in less than 1 hour!

"I don't have an overlocker / serger. Can I still make these shorts?"

YES, you can make the Zeina shorts as well as all styles of Zeina Skirt shown in this course using a regular sewing machine that can handle a straight stitch and zigzag stitch. I will also provide tips on how to sew the materials! (Of course, you're welcome to use an overlocker if you have :) )

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

Beginners are welcome in this course!

If you're new to sewing stretch or lightweight fabric, I recommend you practice before you start your project. I'll give you tips in the course on how to sew these types of fabric. And simply follow the instructions step by step :)

For experienced costumers, this is going to be a fun, satisfying project!
