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.

Yes, Debbie said it has not happened with any of her other costumes that she knows of -- I think it's because it is a stretch fabric, almost like latex, so even when you're putting it on, the stretching pulls them off -- none of them came off of the little flat hanging pieces that were covered in rhinestones.
And, by the way, I LOVE this costume -- it is so unusual, and I don't think it's trashy at all -- sexy, yes, but, as I said, IMO kind of elegant -- the color is a muted darkish blue with a hint of leopard, then covered in tiny pink, blue & AB rhinestones. I promise to post pix soon as I am able to....would love to see what you think of it. I am dying to order the Tigress, but it was about $1600 on the Safti site, wasn't it? Is it really $2400 now??
