Stars of Al-ashtara!

I had fun! I got to wear a costume that gave me a method of displaying intimacy! I was fully veiled out in public, but would only fold it back when around someone I knew well or trusted.

Here's my Zaina costume, minus head veil:



( Bigger version under cut. )

It's my all-curtain, all-the-time costume (seriously, the skirt had two layers of train and pooled awesomely), complete with stick-on rhinestones. I got to do other people's makeup. And be jangly. It was v. fun, and my costume doubles well as a Scheherazade costume, who is one of my favorite people ever.

I might have some in-progress shots of the costume, if anyone would be interested in seeing how to make this stuff.
