Stylized illustration of a woman with dark skin in a golden, jeweled belly dance costume, radiating energy against a glowing sun background.

Paint a dance costume for raqs sharqi that evokes the sun, radiating energy and refracting light in every aspect and detail of the dress design through all of the following elements: Element 1: the structure and details of the garment itself incorporate rounded forms paired with linear elements that radiate outward like beams of light from a symbolic sun. Elements including straps, fringe, seams, cutouts, both mimic the roundness of the sun and offer a sense of light beaming accross skin and radiating outward from the body. Element 2: Patterns that sense of energy radiating outwards from an energy source. This can take the form of a pattern that starts small and gets larger as it expands away from a center in a radial or semicircular pattern. The origin points of the radiating patterns ideally compliment the form of the body, as well as extending, reinforcing, and complementing the radial geometries in the structure of the garment itself. Element 3: The colors of the garment moves from deeper value hues and rich saturation to lighter value hues with lower saturation and more white, reinforcing a sense of energy radiating outwards from a source. Ideally complimenting the same radiant patterns created in expanding patterns on the fabrics, and radiant shapes of the garment's structure. Element 4: A color family that sparkles and shimmers like bright daylight refracting through water. A rich spectrum of bright neon colors, placed adjacent to close complements that visually See more
