Belly Dance tops I like

•   Khrishna.com - my favorite source for inexpensive stretch choli tops in just about every color you could want.
  1.   Sharif Wear - Cute "gypsy' tie tops in many colors and fabrics.

  1.   L Rose Designs - Large selection of styles and fabrics.  All are made to order - you choose the neckline and sleeve type.  Excellent quality.  (I have found the sizes to run a little small, so suggest ordering a size larger)

  1.   And don't forget to check Marshall's, TJ Maxx, thrift stores and yard sales for items like elastic waist skirts, fringed sashes, and "shrug" tops - all great for fleshing out your costuming supplies!
