Supportive. Comfortable. Adjustable.
Designed for the stresses of active, energetic dance while holding everything in place.
*This is not a garment. This is an Instant Download PDF Pattern for a garment. if you need a finished choli, (or a paper pattern) send me a message, as I do them almost exclusively by custom order now.*
After years of requests, this is the original AngelDmort Tribal Bellydance Choli Pattern!
This is a hand drawn copy of the actual pattern I have used to make my custom cholis for the last 19 years.
• This project is best suited to intermediate or advanced sewers, but could be managed by anyone who can sew basic seams.
• Sizes are based on bra size.
• 32A to 38D short sleeve cholis take about 1 yard of fabric. Larger cholis can take about 1 ½ yards. Longer sleeves, aprons, or other additions will require extra fabric.
• It includes two files - the pattern .pdf itself , and the instructions .
• Suggested fabrics - solidly woven cotton. (I usually use quilting fabric, preferably Kona Cotton.)
Backless, so you don't overheat, these cholis tie in the back to be adjustable at top and bottom so they will grow or shrink with you.
Lift your arms over your head without it pulling up on the sides, and lean as far forward or backward as you like without "spillage."
Cut the arms generously to allow for ease of movement. The band at the bottom of the choli provides extra comfort, avoiding that 'cutting in half' feeling when tied tight, and becomes the bottom ties, for extra security.
Other sizes and styles available as the files are finished - there are two sizes of Banjara style cholis in process right now! I can also take custom requests for size and style at my discretion.
