Thread: Let's line them up! Costume Vendors

I haven't seen a thread like this in a long time, so I thought I would start one. Let's make a list and update our bookmarks.

Please post the name AND URL of REPUTABLE costume vendors for both ready to wear and custom costumes. (No blatant advertisers pleases).

Let the drooling begin!

This is Bhuzzer Andrea 2's costume business Neenee's Imports, Inc. - CHANGE THIS ON index_enc_zend.php

She does not do custom orders, but her off the rack costumes are beautiful, durable and reasonably priced. I've bought 3 costumes from her and I couldn't be happier with them or her!

I know the owner of this site, I don't think she does custom, but she offers off the rack costumes at decent prices as well as some great pieces for beginner/recital. Alimah's Closet : Cabaret and Belly Dancing Costumes

Here are some more obvious ones:

The Bellydance Store: Belly Dance Store.com: Designer Egyptian Costumes at Affordable Prices

The Belly Dance Shop: The Belly Dance Shop - Costumes, Hip Scarves, Veils...

Dancing Rahana: Belly Dance Costume Boutique - At DancingRahana.com

Bellydance with K: Belly Dance With K Boutique - Bellydance Costumes and Supplies - Gainesville Florida - Karolinka-Karolyne

Dahlal Internationale: Dahlal Internationale : Welcome!

Maine Source - BellyDanceCostumes.Com ~~ Belly Dance Costumes and Outfits

She has some fun stuff...check out the vintage fringe monsters : )
I like that she has petite, regular and plus sizes.

I know I asked about this vendor on here last year and I can't find the thread. Maybe some of you super slueths can find it. I remember asking b/c the models heads were photoshoped on or something funny. I THINK it was decided that it was the same people as safti craft or someother vendor.

annnnnd....this thread is why I love tabbed browsing capabilities :) time to put off the evening's work!

Where's Sim Moda Evi's link? I don't have it any more.

Belly Dance With K Boutique - Bellydance Costumes and Supplies - Gainesville Florida - Karolinka-Karolyne doesn't post as much as she used to, but still has awesome deals from time to time.

BellyDanceShoppe.com - Everything for the BellyDancer has costumes, though I mostly think of them for zills, veils and unitards.

I saw some stuff on the BDSS site at reasonable prices recently, too, has anyone bought from them?
