This post is directed at everyone in the community, no worries!
Actually historical Middle Eastern is one of my interests as well, even though I don't dance (although I want to get into drumming). I compiled a bunch of resources for sca_garb several years ago on that very topic, although they're not all online, so that would be an easy resource post to start off with.
The SCA is SUCH a timesuck. It works for me because almost all of my hobbies fit into an SCA framework, but it also means I think "Gosh, it would be cool to do this modern embroidery project...but I can't use it in the SCA. so I won't" fairly frequently.
