Maybe it's just the idea in my head that when you drop many hundreds to wear a 'professional' belly dance costume, there should be more to it and at least look sturdy...The pink just looks thrown together from existing shorts and left over fabric???

Hi, Nisima, YES, they do look to me too homemade or "economy" type costumes, and not sturdy enough. I'm not frugal, a costume doesn't have to be "wall of fringe" and I like clean lines but I just won't pay for a label if the costume doesn't look well-made, period, end of story! I've seen a bit of costuming in the last 20 years and can appreciate different styles, but almost all the bras (esp. black & white stripe) look like "escapage of boobage" is imminent; I dunno, maybe that's just the trend in Cairo now, but not my c-cup size girls!
no way.
