Bedlah

Bedlah is the sparkly bra-belt combination worn by Middle Eastern dancers (oriental dancers, belly dancers). It may be paired with pants or skirt, and any number of accessories. Bedlah originated in the western hollywood imagination and was adopted by dancers who catered to foreign audiences who expected the look. Many dancers also adopted the look simply because they liked it, and it has survived to become the most popular costume for oriental dancers across the globe.

The bedlah is an Arabian costume normally worn by women. The word bedlah is Arabic for "suit".

"Bedlah" is sometimes used to indicate a costume worn by Middle Eastern dancers.
