Fabulous Full Figures

These photo galleries showcase plus-sized dancers in a variety of belly dance costumes, to spark ideas for other plus-sized women who may want to belly dance but are intimidated by the idea of costuming.

The galleries actually reside on a different web site Shira manages called Bellydance Plus! which is located at www.bellydanceplus.com. This entire web site is dedicated to assisting plus-sized dancers seeking practical advice, inspiration, and costuming ideas. Because they'll take you away from Shira.net, these choices will open in a separate window.
