LeMava Design. Dance Costumes Costumes and accessories for fusion belly dance. Jewelry design. Color of Nature in your hands

Color - this is what catches the eye, on what fix eyes.

There are no ugly or wrong colors combinations in nature; there are harmony and balance in it. Sometimes you want to capture the beauty of some moments: sunsets and sunrises; the wind at the slope of the mountain, at the foot of which washes of the dark see; the stars of the spring with her light green colors against black earth. Someone capture such moments in photo, other paint or compose. Moreo

ver, I`d like to left in each of my handiwork part of beautiful moments and colors of Nature. Each jewel is little picture of what I saw in this world. I want you to see it with me.

Here is the final version of this costume in plus-size and with the green stones instead.
Almost 3000 crystals, crystal beads, sequins, and seed beads.
What do you think about black and green combination?

Made this set from leftovers after two custom sets with tops and circle skirts.
As there's left not a big amount of fabric, I made this costume in size S and with a pannel skirt.
It is already available in my show and ready for shipping. See more detailed measurements in the last picture.
Also, it is possible to shorter the skirt length.

📦 Updates on shipping from Ukraine to the USA 🇺🇸

The U.S. has announced new import tariffs, including a 10% duty on goods from Ukraine and several other countries.

But here's what really matters if you’re ordering from Ukraine 👇

💡 According to the latest info from Ukrposhta and USPS (as of April 3rd):

1️⃣ A 10% tariff won’t apply to shipments under $800.
The $800 de minimis rule (duty-free limit) is still active — unless the U.S. sets up a special tracking system to collect duties on those smaller shipments. For now, you're safe under $800.

2️⃣ This might change in the future.
The U.S. plans to reduce the duty-free limit to $0, but only after that new system is up and running (it’s not yet).

3️⃣ Orders over $800 will have to pay 10% duty (and possibly other fees).

4️⃣ The USPS is still figuring out whether they’ll introduce something like the EU’s IOSS system (which lets you pay all fees at checkout on marketplaces). No final decisions yet.

👉 FYI: Right now, this $800 limit has been removed only for China. For Ukraine, it still works.

I'll keep you updated if anything changes!

In fact, it is milk white, but anyway. What color would you wear?

I want to share some of my belt designs from 2015-2016. Back then, I didn’t use any massive Kuchi elements—not because I didn’t love them, but simply because I couldn’t afford them. I could only dream of working with those materials. But my desire to create was stronger than any limitation, so I made belts with the materials that were available to me.

Now, I’ve reached a point where materials have started to overshadow my individuality as a designer. People order belts not for the overall design concept, but for the sheer "massiveness" and the "wow factor" of certain elements.

Of course, my skills and creative vision have grown tremendously since then. But maybe what I want to say is this: if you feel like you can’t afford expensive materials or a custom costume, don't let that stop you from creating. These early belts of mine are proof that a high price tag doesn’t define a strong design. The most expensive element won’t guarantee a spectacular result—because if it's combined poorly, it can ruin everything. Just like natural silk won’t save a poorly sewn dress.

If you're just starting your creative journey, don't chase after materials—chase after ideas. Because in the end, it's not about how much something costs, but about how well it's brought to life. 💛

I will no longer be taking orders for such belts. Why? 👇

Today, I removed the listing for custom belts. Most of the requests were for very detailed and expensive designs using traditional Afghan, Pakistani, and Kuchi elements. These pieces are bold and eye-catching, but…

In the end, it feels like I’m just copying the same belt over and over, moving the same elements around. There is no real creativity in that. The final look depends only on cultural heritage, not on original design. It’s like putting together a puzzle with pre-made pieces.

From now on, I will not be ordering more vintage Kuchi elements. I will use what I currently have, maybe for a few custom projects or unique pieces for sale. But I will not take new orders for these belts.

I have to admit—making these belts and costumes no longer inspires me. There is almost no real design work involved. I want to focus on my own ideas, experiment, and create something that truly reflects my vision. I have already made many beautiful and impressive costumes that do not rely on traditional elements.

Yes, this might make me less popular. Some clients may leave. But for me, it is more important to stay true to myself, to respect other cultures, and to create work that has real artistic value.

Thank you to everyone who understands and supports this decision ❤️

Why is a costume more than just the cost of materials👇👇👇

I often get messages like: “If we remove this detail, will it be cheaper?” or “I need the exact same costume as in this video, 1:1!”

Let’s clear something up: being a costume designer is not just about sewing pieces of fabric together. It’s about:
✨ Developing a unique design
✨ Choosing materials that don’t just look good but also work well in motion
✨ Carefully crafting every little detail
✨ Hours of handwork – from embroidery to intricate decorations

If you’re looking for an exact copy of an existing costume, it’s best to find a seamstress who can replicate it for you. Better - find original designer and order it. As a designer, my job is to create something unique, not to copy someone else’s work.

Devaluing this process is like telling an artist: “Paint me the Mona Lisa, but cheaper.” 🤷‍♀️

I’m always happy to help find an option within your budget, but only within the quality and style that reflect my work.

Thank you to everyone who values not just materials but also skill, craftsmanship, and creativity! ❤️

The belt isn't finished yet. I need to add several more details and lining.

There’s a high chance that many will unfollow me after this post. I know most of you came here for costumes and inspiration. But every costume I create is made by a person living in Ukraine, in the midst of war. For me, creativity and war cannot be separated—because war affects me to my core.

Only 16 days until the calendar spring! 🌸🌺

While working on this custom costume for .snow.official , I couldn’t stop thinking about the fresh energy of the new season.

Органза, мереживо:

Simple and light headdress made of chains, crystals, metal elements, and coins. Great addition to the final look.

I recently mentioned my own pink costume, and I found photos from my last performance. It was the final party before Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine—and, in fact, my last performance altogether.

I wanted to keep the design minimal, using a soft, delicate shade of pink. But the circle skirt has little detail—three layers of different shades that reveal themselves beautifully in motion.

A bittersweet memory of a time before February 2022 💛💙
