You'll have to post pictures when you get them. I'm surprised that the rhinestones fell off. Yes, because Sahar uses flat back rhinestones, they are glued not sewed. This is quite common. I know from conversations with Amani, she told me her costume designer (Ali Reda) glues the stones (at one point I was going to order a costume from Amani). Of all my Sahars, I have never had that happen. Some of them I have performed and practiced in them numerous times and maybe one stone fell out at the maximum. But no more stones fall out of my Sahars then my Emans or other costumes. But its nice that Dahlal is taking it to Egypt to have it re-done for you.

Maybe it's the subdued colors...anyway, Dahlal was kind enough to offer to take it back with her to Egypt to be fixed, she herself said it's a lot of money to have that happen
so soon as I get it back I'll post -- PS -- I've read all the comments about Dahlal's site, but I've always had good exeriences with Debbie. I've shopped with her for many years--she "owns" my AmexCo -- and have always gotten extraordinary costumes. I was really sorry that some of you have had some problems. Hope it's just computer problems!
