Ah, your Grace, you will get me into trouble.....
This is a beautiful picture of a fantastic costume! I love how she is
covered and still looks enchanting. Yes, her belly is exposed a bit,
overly so, and look how her arms and legs are totally covered....very
demure. In my opinion, I would love to own a costume just like this and I
would wear it to events and hafla's both in SCA and out.
You asked my opinion on professional dance wear in a restaurant....of
course, the correct answer is "It Depends".....It depends on the
restaurant owner, the occasion, etc., etc., etc.....BUT I have seen this
exact style worn in professional performance to great effect.
While most professional restaurant gigs will be preformed in modern
Egyptian style cabaret gear (main ingredient = skin and sequins), a sword
number done in this garb would be fantastic.

You are right in regards to period. I have no earthly idea if there is a
modern turkish look. Panne velvet is a ify material. Some people think it
is like a kind of velvet talked about in the books, but we in Ansteorra
have steered away from it as to modern. In the pictures I can find there
are no bared midddles outside of India. The closest I have found is a
dancer that has opened up her shirt to show her middle. I have attached
the picture.
This outfit would make a nice casuel modern dance costume. It would be fun
for non-profession dancing. It would be to casual for a performance at a
resturaunt. Am I right about this Toryn?
