I would still order it directly from Eman. In my experience, it takes 3-6 months to get a costume (the first time I ordered from her I just ordered one costume and it probably took at least two months). The second and third times I ordered from her, I ordered 5 costumes each order and it probably took about 5-6 months to get those orders. It depends on how much she charges you, but even with shipping and bank wire fees, ordering direct from her is still cheaper than Dahlal, plus you have more control over what you get, plus for obvious reasons, communicating with the designer is much better than going through a middle woman.

I'm a little concerned though, after reading elisagamal's post. Do you think ordering through Dahlal would actually be faster?
I may just go for it since she did get back to me in fairly good time :-)
