OMG it looks so amazing on you!!!! I miss it :( lol

I Eman Zaki Designs! Although I have to admit that I have found myself disappointed quite a few times with the workmanship of the beading... But in any case, here are a few of the costumes that I have owned from her

Yellow Eman Zaki


Nude Eman Zaki purchased on Bhuz


Blue, Pink, Yellow on the right side are all Eman Zaki Designs


Scarab Eman Zaki that I sold but miss a lot!!

This was once owned by Ahava -- she danced in this on one of the Cheeky Girls videos. Also it has been owned by at least a couple of bhuzzers -- Damiena maybe? And I can't remember who I traded for this.

Wow they are all so beautiful! Hopefully we can add more! :-)

THis one is cool too!

Oh Love!!

I love Emans and Hodas. I've had way more Hoda's though.

Can I post Hoda's? LOL some Hoda's have Eman tags in them so I'm guessing they are the same atelier?

Both of these eman's I've sold. The Mermaid one was just too small for me to feel comfortable in:( I am sad to have sold it . I love love love the look but I needed more room in the butt/hips of the skirt. I sold the red and black because I have a red and black that I made that I wear more:( Fantastic costume.

The orange and yellow is a Hoda, but one of my favourite costumes of all time that I've bought. Can't imagine parting with it lol.

I LOVE that Hoda, if you ever do decide to part with it.....

My most favourite costume ever, one of a kind Eman Zaki. The cut is incredibly flattering, I always felt like a goddess while wearing it. The fabric is luxury thin velvet tie die in wine and dark teal shades. it one sleeve, which is not good for dancing with veil, so I am not wearing it on this pic:


And here it is, with the sleeve:


Another favourite Eman of mine:

Had this dress custom made when I was in Egypt in 2010 (so, kinda one of a kind?). Backstory--I went to Eman's shop not really wanting a bedlah, I was looking for a dress but I didn't like anything I saw on the sample rack. I was wandering around and found a bedlah in this fabric (midnight blue with a metallic irridescent finish), with the ruching (sp?) on the cup and belt and gold trim. I asked her if she could make a dress in this style, and she said of course!

It's incredibly comfortable to dance in--I need to have it taken in a bit because I've lost some weight since I bought it!

I already had the gold wings; I found the midnight blue one's at Mahmoud's Al Wiklah in a quick dash into the Khan-el-Khaleel before heading to the airport for the flight out!

I love all of your costumes - especially the mermaid one and the dress! I'm glad for my purse that you seem not to be my size...

Thank you, Sahira!

I think I'm almost addicted to Emans, I love the styles and the quality.
