Thread: HELP! Cheep Student Costumes

Hey there

My students are going to be doing their first Hafla in October, I am looking for sources of cheep costumes. So far I have moondancebellydance.com is there anything else out there that is cheep? They already have coin scarves, so I just need skirts and tops prefferably choli tops or wrap tops. I am trying to keep them around $50 (am I dreaming with this number?)

Thanks

Mode Mystique usually has some good specials and are pretty cheap!!

My instructor ordeed "endless wave pants" and I believe she contacted the seller to see if she could get a group rate. We wore lace type cholis with them and it was a great look.

Hi Annwyn! How are you?

I second Mode Mystique if you are trying to keep the price down. Nice quality for the price... lots of colors to choose from. There's always L Rose too, but that might be a bit more expensive.

i cant get on to mode mystiques website did they change it?

Annwyn, I have a couple of beginner costumes that I'd be willing to sell for $50 to $75. I'll get pictures and measurements this evening if you're interested. Let me know.

Both are pink/purple combinations. Choli type tops with skirts.

Let me go through my closet; I know I have a mint green costume I can add, a blue/silver pant set, and a red costume. Actually, yes, I think I have 5 beginner costumes that need homes. Do you need them all to be the same color, or does it matter?

Edna

either same color or same style...

I was wondering about that myself. I can get the home page but if I try to see an item the page just keeps loading.
I emailed them about it but I havent had a reply.
