The belt/bra ensemble is what is known as bedlah. In actuality, the word is Arabic for "suit," or maybe even "uniform." So the bedlah is the uniform of the raqs sharqi dancer.

I know my mokume gane buckled and warped, but it is very thin, so I think it would be ok applied to some other metal. I'll ask my instructor if it can be made without the warping.

Someday I'll read a Gor novel. In the meantime, I have seen one of the movies. "Cabot! CABOT!!!!!"
