You did an amazing job! !!

How do you paint it?  looks fantastic

Thank you, Maria . I freehand with gel colors (dried) and a bit of water. I used photos of real belly dancers for proportion and posture references. I tried to make the sleeves look like lacy mesh.  In hindsight, I wish I'd added a bit of gold or silver (coin belt). If I'd planned better, she would have had bare feet showing
