Are you in need of flat-back or sew-on rhinestones?  What about appliques or beaded fringe?  Here is a list of my favorite places to buy decorations for the costumes I make.  If you're not into creating your own costumes from scratch, these decorations are also great for making your off-the-rack costumes more unique!

-www.DreamTimeCreations.com:  Rhinestones, trims, beads and brooches!

-www.ArtBeads.com:  A little better priced of everything above, plus other jewelry making supplies.

-www.GlitzOnline.com:  Unique appliques, rhinestone banding and more glitzy stuff!

-www.Party-Feathers.com:  All kinds of feather boas, priced really great!  Perfect for the bottom of skirts.

-http://HorusAndIsis.com:  Custom-made Egyptian beaded fringe and really good customer service!

-www.SamMoon.com:  All kinds of goodies like costume jewelry, scarves, hair pieces - A Belly Dancer's PARADISE!  If you can actually visit one of the stores in Texas, you won't regret it (your pocketbook will)!  I really like their brooches and flower pins to spruce up costumes!

-www.WhimZAccessories.com:  Costume jewelry to wear or decorate costumes with!
