    My Twin Sim - Tell me if you buy it. :-)

    Last summer I custom ordered a costume from Sim Moda Evi based on a drawing I did. The first version he made wasn't quite right for me, so he redid it with a few small adjustments, but now I see the first version he made has found it's way to the belly dance store, it looks like with a few adjustments as well from last I saw it, and it is looking quite pretty. Soooo, if any of you end up buying it you must tell me so I know who has my near twin costume. If you were wondering why this Sim didn't look like the others, now you know, Shems's design. :-)


    (Just so you know, the bra is listed as a D, but my guess is it will pad down a couple of sizes really nicely, Sims are great like that.)

    Here it is:

    That's so pretty! Now, how the heck am I supposed to keep my promise that I'm making all of my own costumes from now on, when people keep selling such pretty costumes everywhere? :(

    Great design. Wish you got credit officially for the concept. Hmmm, Shems for Sim Moda Evi ?

    That's pretty! It reminds me a bit of some of the Russian designer costumes, because of the fairy tale color scheme and the richness of the beading.

    I'll post when I get photos. I want to pair it with a green underskirt under the purple, which I haven't gotten around to ordering yet.

    If you get it we could do a duet, a long distance duet. :-)

    Well as much as I'd *love* to do that, I'd need a year (more?) of intensive practicing to dance anywhere close to as good as you

    In the words of the great Maia Alexandra, 'NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!'

    Gorgeous!

    It's always impressive when you can SEE how hard a bellydancer is working too. Yes, we do break a sweat when we dance and I for one am damned proud of it.

    I didn't get the twin but it's gorgeous! You must be a pretty good artist for this costume to have come from your drawing.
