Thread: Fans for Pharaonics!

I found their reply - from almost four years ago - "The Crocheted Sparkles would be $480, plus shipping and the Vintage Vogue would be $575 plus shipping." At that time they would have been able to do it, don't know about now. Never hurts to ask!

I also find myself constantly drooling over pharaonics costumes. How I wish I could afford to buy one for myself... ,f:: But with the exchange rate plummeting and all, it's just too expensive for me. ..cr.: Still, I'm saving moolah and hoping that one of these days a second-hand costume that's my size comes along... hehe ..g.:

I just got a custom fuchsia with purple Sultana through Dahlal. It's PERFECT!! Omygoodness. Heaven in a skirt!

oooh, let me know if you sell your yellow eman! I've just recently decided that I might be able to sport yellow :)

I sold that one already - Rakkasah Barbara has it now. But I think it would look great on you!

i started buying from Amira back in the early 90s and have some lovely costumes. i don't have a lot of scanned photos, but there are a few in the following website:
Bellydance Plus! Leyla Lanty's Photo Gallery, Part 1 about 2/3 down the page, the black "cat suit" from the mid-90s is one of my favorites. After that, the "green hagalla" dress/

Bellydance Plus! Leyla Lanty's Photo Gallery, Part 2 The "fiiry orange bedla" is an amazing all-over beaded design, The skirt and sleeves are both fully beaded from top to bottom. .

Has anyone seen these coin costumes from Pharaonics before? Belly Dance Store.com: gallery I would love to find it without this skirt & veil (which don't seem very "Pharaonics" to me).

there are so many I love.... I am waiting for my first own Pharaonix ever, the Butterfly Fantasy which I stared at soooooo much. It was used and had no skirt, but since its skirt is so particular, I made a custom order to Amira. :) should come in 2-3 weeks.

i also fell in love with 1001 nights in nude colour with green/bluish decorations...

(this is beautiful giulia saamiya of milan in action with it :) )

Hope you get the one on the Swap right now from Jasmine Rose. It's lovely!

yeah, I am looking after it.. hope it's not gone till I sold my black/pink/aqua costume... because it is new and costed a lot to me (400€ ~580$) and is so stunning... but it doesn't look good on me at all... :( if I can find someone who's buying it, and JasmineRose's still there... I'll grab it!

in the meantime, here is what I got in the mail today:

Did you see the recent press release......

NEWS NEWS NEWS Designer Amira El Kattan has created for Pharaonix Of Egypt "THE ELITE" collection 2009... A stunning and stylish Red Carpet collection that projects a powerful sense of Oriental Glamour. The "ELITE" collection 2009 has already produced a very strong impact among Distributors, Vendors, Teachers and Dancers, (well beyond Amira's expectations) causing a total sell out of the collection just a few weeks prior to her annual fashion show ,which caused her to cancel the show this year. Amira is arduously working to avail more production shortly, especially for her newly created TRAVELLING BOUTIQUE which will be hosted in a number of countries in Europe and the Far East by local Pharaonix distributors. Enjoy viewing THE ELITE COLLECTION 2009 on Pharaonix web site this summer.YOUR FASHION DESIGNER Amira el kattanhttp://www.pharaonixofegypt.com]

OOh, I will have look see..

Hi, Leyla! LOVVVVEEE the black/turquoise dress! My favorite, it's gorgeous!
PS-- I remember the green Haggalah dress from the year we both competed at BDOY -- remember? That was fun!!

Hmm, ladies, I was just taking a look at the latest pharaonics at thebellydancestore.biz, and from what I can see the people who have commented on the quality being poorer are right... they've really stepped down their game...

Yes, I agree with this! I have two Arabesque skirts, and I want more! Wearing those beautiful full skirts makes me want to do lots of spins and rond de jambes. ..g.:

This is not so great of a photo of me, but the Pharaonics looks great--so twirly and sparkly! I sold it to a Bhuzzer last fall because I thought I had no need for a costume that fancy, and then two months later I got a restaurant gig. Was kicking myself over that! Oh well... there will be more. :Abiggrin:



I really love that so many Pharaonics bra/belts are completely covered in sequins, crystals, and beadwork. Having a costume that's completely covered in decorations (as opposed to the more sparsely-decorated, "minimalist" designs) really makes it feel like you're getting your money's worth.

I can confirm this...The costumes are becoming much less substantial and made with cheaper less fabric...
If you order a new Pharaonics today, you will not receive the same quality as say 2 years ago...even last year was better than now.
Very disappointing...more money for less

I don't know how the quality would be compared to the models of previous years, but I just emailed Dahlal and you can still order the crocheted costumes from them via custom order.

I received yesterday a skirt custom made to match a Butterfly Fantasy set I got lately... and it is fabulous. Great quality of decorations...

oh but look, ' I'm there!
I too am a fan, but I prefer the 2 pieces of pharaonics! the skirts are beautiful!!!
I have, like in the picture has added Lara, Aida and butterfly
my favorite for now is tempest! loveeeeeeeeee

giulia, you were too beautiful in that picture to not mention you! :)
