Your absolutely right Lizajuk about restaurant owners and the GP expecting a "traditional" looking costume. I have 2 costume wardrobes one for restaurants and one for when i'm dancing for dancers. The dancers would think my restaurant costumes old fashioned and the restaurant goers would think I'm not wearing a proper costume

Totally right about the two wardrobes. I was going to get rid of some of my more 'dated' dance fashions then I thought...hang on, I may just need this!
I have spoken to a few designers and shops on this issue and they do get dictated to by the customer. A trip down al Haram will tell you what is really en vogue in Cairo. I have had a good look around the net to see whats out there and there are some truly yukky costumes. I am not too keen on some chosen outfits for the Oriental Moon Website either, they do so much better. I will be having a serious word with them when I go. I know lots have said they love the collection, but I KNOW they have more gorgous creations not on that site!! everyone who goes comes back feeling the same. I hope they are at Raqs B. I did ask but they were told it may not be worth it financially so they would have to find a willing agent.
