The real problem for me is to fine the stones or the applications to decorate the fabric. I live in a big city and it is incredible that I can't find what I want. I buy in internet but it takes long time. Anyway, good video. I like all your videos.
Good question, Krystal! I don't recommend throwing any costume with embellishment into a washing machine. Instead, you can hand wash it in a bath tub with cold water and gentle detergent. I show how to do that and other ways to clean costumes in the Belly Dance Costume Workshop mentioned in the video, but key is to test and make sure the color doesn't bleed in an inconspicuous part of the costume before you wash it!
