Welcome!
This site is dedicated to the art, science and technique of designing and making costumes for Middle Eastern belly dance. My name is Dawn Devine Brown and I am the author of Embellished Bras, Costuming from the Hip, From Turban to Toe Riing and Bedlah, Baubles and Beads. These books contain information and directions for creating beautiful dance wear. My website is a continuation of my love of Middle Eastern dance and costuming.

Davina will be at:
Westerfeld Studio
1810 Middlefield Road
Palo Alto, Ca, 94301

Davina's Wearable Art and Jewelry Designs
Exhibiting at Westerfeld Studio May 3 & 4 and 10 & 11
