I'm a noob here but I thought there already was thread about making "tripp-type" pants kicking around someplace..? I could be wrong. Goth industrial rave belly dance fashion, huh? That's a mouthful. Ok- I'm guessing this means very wide-leg pants with D-rings and grommet tape and the like? I'm just learning to sew myself and I've found D-rings and grommet tape, studs, etc. to be inexpensive on Ebay. You can either get big pants and add the trimmings yourself or you can start from scratch.
There are lots of patterns in the sewing shops for those "yoga" type pants. They are basically wide-leg pants made of jersey material. They are good for a beginner sewing project as they are quite simple. You could get one of those patterns but use whatever fabric you like- denim, whatever. Drawstring* baggy pants aren't too hard to make and then you can add any kind of hardware you like. That's another thing- one of my friends who was all diy and rivethead-ish used to shop at home depot for trimmings in her wearable creations- that really shiny silver duct tape, those neon plastic ties, just random stuff.
Personally, I associate those kind of pants with younger kids and I've never seen anyone in them who's style I admired- however, being crafty is always something to be encouraged. The fact that you threw belly-dance in there made me think that it's possible you're not thinking mall-goth as much as you might be thinking of like..Tempest and Anaar (<sp?) I saw an ad in Gothic Beauty for a dvd they did that was something along the lines of Industrial bellydance and I think they looked good, I just don't remember it perfectly.
*Once you get the hang of that you can add a fly and your own type of
waistband but the patterns usually call for a stretchy waist.
