Thread: lookit' I got today in the mail :)

there's an embarrassment of riches on my bed right now. I'm so excited! I've had such abysmal luck with costume orders the last few years (I have to go custom because I'm an odd size). I tried eman, & it took six months and the costume was a disaster. I tried hallah moustafa twice, both times very expensive disasters. I tried oriental originals through dahlal - the worst and most expensive disaster yet. I've only had luck with pharaonics, but they haven't had any designs that caught my eye in the last few years. so I took a chance and ordered *three* from bella, and I hit the jackpot! they all fit perfectly, were very well priced, and arrived about 7 weeks from the day I emailed the order. omg, they're so pretty. the teal and red ones were from the custom order page of her website - I liked knowing ahead of time how much they were going to cost. the black and green one only barely resembles the custom design I ordered (I sent her a pic of an old bella of mine to try to copy) but I love it anyway. I'm hooked. I'm going to cozy up with a needle and thread tonight in front of the tv and move hooks, and then rummage my costume closet to see what I can sell to get MORE MORE MORE!

Awesome! Congratulations on your past-due costume successes. 3 Bella's. I doubt it is totally fair to those of us without a Bella under our roof. I think, with an eye on being totally fair, you should ship at least one to me. Trying to be fair and equitable.

Enjoy your new treasures. Pictures please so we can live vicariously.

Ooooooooooooooh

You know, if you are going to start selling your old costumes, I really need to win the lottery tonight. . .

Oh, and these new ones are beautiful!

{{{HUGS}}}

I just made that noise Homer Simpson makes when he wants a donut or a beer.
No really. My partner came in the room to see if I was okay.

Beautiful, every one! My eyes are nearly popping out of my head :) ! Congratulations, it must feel like a fairy tale ending!

Yay for you! I love Bella!

Luckyyyyyy!! Good for you!!!
