Construction Details:

This costume was very popular, not surprisingly (bright red + bellydancer = eyecatching), and it's a rarely done version, so I got a lot of attention. And as everyone who saw me at the con probably wondered, yes there ARE panties attached. I made panties out of the same spandex as the bootcovers and sleeves, and attached them to the belt at the sides. The belt is permanently attached to the gold rings on all sides but one, where it folds over the ring and snaps closed. The belt is quite heavy due to all the metal coins and stuff (I didn't like how super-shiny standard bellydance-belt coins are, so I got duller (and heavier) coins and then brightened them a little with gold paint).

Personal Thoughts:

I've always liked this version of Wanda's costume, so it's been in my to-do list for awhile, and I picked up the fabric and wig for it a year ago or so. When it was determined that we'd be going to Dragon*Con, it was a perfect motivator to get Wanda made.
