All of our Belts, Bra Covers and Drapes are of the highest quality and made of solid brass. This brand New belly dance outfit is heavier than cheaper versions. The heavier weight makes all the difference in the movement and sound when you dance. The brass bells are cast in the northern Indian State of Uttar Pradesh; which is well known for quality brass manufacturers.
The remaining parts, such as chains, hooks, mirrors, and medallions are made in Mumbai (Bombay) on the west coast. There the belts are assembled for export. This listing is for a size 40. Other sizes are available. Just check our eBay store for other size belts or let us know and we will run a listing with the size that you want.

Adjusting your belt:
The large linked decorated medallions that rest on the hips make the belt. Hanging from theses linked medallions are chains that form three sets of swags; the largest swag hangs in the back and the two smaller in front. Hanging from these chain swags are the accent pieces; bells, small medallions with mirrors, coins or beads. There are two hanging medallions that should lie to the sides over the hips. By removing the back-middle waist medallion you can adjust the size of the belt down by two inches.
Caring for your Dance Belt:
Usually all that is necessary is to rub the belts with a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water. Periodically check the connections and the links. If they have loosened use pliers to tighten the link so they stay secure. These Belts can tarnish. If you want the Brass to shine more you can soak the belt in mild vinegar. Do not let it soak too long or the ascent pieces may pop off. Never put the Nickeled Brass in vinegar. If an accent piece does come loose glue it back with some type of super-glue or epoxy.
