Jasmine costume:
Make a pair of large, comfy pants. Look at a pair of pajama pants for reference, but make them way too wide in the legs for you. Put in an elastic waste band and elastic at the feet. These are called harem pants; it's what belly dancers wear. Make a bra-top our of matching fabric. To keep it conservative, either wear a flesh colored shirt underneath, or buy a body stocking (also a belly dancer item). Another option is to get sheer fabric, and sew it to the bottom of your bra top to cover yourself. Otherwise, you could make a close fitting shirt out of kind of see-through fabric to wear underneath your bra top as well. To make the bra top, just cut a long rectangle of fabric that is long enough to go around your chest. Finish the edges however you like, but tie a ribbon around the center front (or thin piece of fabric) and you can just tie the top in the back. Add straps from the same fabric or even from the ribbon.
