Bedlah is a style of dress of Egyptian origin most commonly associated with belly dancers. It typically includes a bra or fitted top (such as a bandeau), a fitted hip belt, and a full-length skirt or harem pants. The bra and belt may be richly decorated with beads, sequins, crystals, coins, beaded fringe and embroidery. The belt may be a separate piece, or sewn into a skirt. Bedlah outfits may also include a veil, headband, or elaborate jewelry.

As the belly dancing connotation implies, bedlah usually features an exposed midriff.
