I made my first bellydance costume before I took my first bellydance class. Oh, the joys of Larping! It was a chiffon skirt in burgundy and navy blue made to match a satin bikini top I already had and decorated with coins. Needless to say it was very basic and not very good, but we all need to start somewhere. Since then I've made more costume pieces than I can count, and I'm sure I've forgotten some of them. The lists below are not exhaustive. For the ones on which I have photos or tutorials I provide links. Feel free to try to make your own versions of these designs, or better yet let these projects inspire you to make your own fabulous creations.
