    What makes you think that? To me neither has anything to do with real belly dancing, and I think I already said that about the bra when you posted it before.
    And you are right, the two items are not related in any way.

    Belly dancing tops are made of thick, very firm material, just like the hip-bands of the skirts. Both are so rigid they stand up without support.
    I have never seen them decorated with padded hearts, that would not be in keeping with the belly dancing tradition.

    And why India as an alternative option?:confused: Many Indian tops may be bare midriff, but that doesn't mean Indian ladies walk around in silver knitted bras.

    Daniel,
    Is the Headband from Tijuana, too? There are some very sharp pins on it.
    Can you take photos of the back of these?

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I have trouble picturing that these two items started life together.
