I don't know what I was expecting...but what I got was THE TOOTSIE ROLL SONG stung in my head.
Curse you, Sabrina

It looks like an angry sack. Do not want...but I'll keep it in mind if I ever get hired to perform at a suicide bomber's wake. Sorry, but if I'm going to pay $1900 for a cover up, it sure better open down the front, so I don't have to shove full hair and makeup through a neck hole.

It's from Nieman-Marcus (we call it "Needless Markup").
Nuf said - they have an image to maintain which are outrageous prices and people will spend it too.

I think it looks "OK", but remember what P.T. Barnum said...

ok, I would pay $10 and wear it around the house when I don't feel like putting on clothes.

Re: $1900 for a belly dance coverup?
If I wanted a silk cover-up, I'd buy a couple of rectangular A'Kai veils and sew them together. The rest of the money could go for a custom-order Bella and maybe even a cheap plane ticket to pick the darn thing up in person, lol!

That's ugly, I wouldn't even pay 5 for it on the rack at the thrift store.

Re: $1900 for a belly dance coverup?
Yeah, that would complete the look. Too bad it's sold out. I was going to buy one in the hope that for $455, it was going to come with a couple of strands of Nicole Richie's hair caught in the jump rings. Now where am I going to get an overpriced, celebrity-designed piece of costume jewelry to catch in my hair?!

That thing is hideous. It looks like something I'd cut up to use as cleaning rags around the house.
