    Alexandria vs Arabesque

    I recently purchased a teal great loop and I'm thinking about pairing it with an arabesque skirt, I love that classic belly dancer look. I contacted Amira and she quoted me $270 (220 for the skirt and 50 for shipping). I'm on a thight budget, and $270 is a lot of money for a skirt. I've read positive things about arabesque but I was wondering if it really is worth that much money? And how does it differ fromt an alexandria skirt that is a lot cheaper but looks more or less the same? Feel free to illustrate with pictures

    Re: Alexandria vs Arabesque

    I have some of each, and use them pretty interchangeably. The colours are a bit more limited in the Alexandria skirts, and I had to re-hem mine as they come with a really heavy fishingline hem with beading. The chiffon used is better quality and more iridescent with the Arabesque skirts and the sequin designs are a bit more extensive.

    If price is the issue, I would say go for the Alexandria if you can find the colour you want.

    Otherwise, go through the bellydance store - they charge $220 for the arabesque and much less shipping!
