It has very little that even approaches the historical, which makes it inappropriate for the SCA, where we are encouraged to make clothing that is historical. They may *seem* ok, but that is because the standards for Middle Eastern personae is often lower than those for European personae. lilinah | Mar 24, 2007 | The patterns are simple line-drawings with directions; don’t expect Simplicity/McCall levels of design in the pattern work! If the patterns baffle you, I would recommend getting an experienced seamstress on-call at the very least. They are also not period, although the designs pass the 3 foot rule with little problem. Bottom Line: If you’re just starting in the SCA, and want to wear Middle Eastern, these patterns work. The best part of the book, for me, was the detailed and rich bibliography at the end; well worth the purchase if you’re trying to further document clothing. Also, for Tribal dancers, the book goes into the historical and ethnic basis for much of the clothing and jewelry dancers wear. Since Tribal tends to be a mélange of ethnic influences, it’s great to know where your cool new bracelet came from! ( )1  asim | May 21, 2006 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
From Turban to Toe Ring is a guide for designing and making tribal-fusion belly dance wear. This style, which originated in the San Francisco dance community and has spread world-wide, is fast becoming one of the most popular costuming options. Tribal-fusion costuming is an assemblage of design elements pulled from many different tribal, rural, and nomadic peoples from North Africa, across the Near and Middle East, and as far away as India. Surface design techniques, articles of clothing, and jewelry components are fused together to create a look that blends all of these items into an exciting and uniquely individual image for each dancer. This book will be an excellent reference source for the libraries of dancers, costume designers, historical re-enactors, and dancers who want a break from the high glitz and glamour of cabaret-style costuming. From Turban to Toe Ring contains numerous hints, tips, and directions for making, designing, and assembling a tribal-fusion costume, including: * A country-by-country breakdown of tribal jewelry styles from the Berber people of Morocco to the Ribari of India. * Pattern making directions for several different choli and salwar designs. * Directions for traditional surface embellishments, including applique and shi-sha. * Mehndi (or henna), from mixing the paste to creating your design. * Adapting Indian textiles, such as the toran and chakla, for tribal-fusion dance wear. * Extensive bibliography and guide to historical research of Middle Eastern costume.
