Thread: Melaya Dress

Hi,

I'm looking for a dress suitable for melaya leff for my little sister, I was hoping to get her one as a surprise, since she recently went to a workshop and feels it really might be her *thing* for solos (and i want to encourage that ;o)
she's a great group performer but has never wanted to solo before)

any tips? I can't seem to find much on an initial trawl round the net...

particularly interested in anything available in uk

cheers! x

What a wonderful big sister you are! :)

Have you seen these on the Euro Swap Meet? They're cute, esp. the Pharaonics:

I have one that I am willing to part with. I never pushed it here because if it never sells it's fine by me...(I have a special attachment to it!!!)

I have to find the link....

Thanks! now I know they are out there.... :o)

Elinor is about 5'3'' and a UK size10/12 if anyone out there has a match...

the dress on the first link is lovely, but probably too long and I can only just sew a button on so altering that lovely long bit would be way too scary!

Look at Belly Dance Store.com under folkloric costumes. They have a number of reasonably priced melaya dresses.
