Yes, Sherif and Sahar are great. Going back to your reference about Sahar's grapes costume: I mentioned that sometimes Sahar comes up with original ideas that other designers copy (I know the one you are talking about as I considered buying it) (which is totally the nature of fashion and is no way a criticism)-the grapes costumes was actually first designed by Amira El Kattan. So this is an example of Sahar borrowing an idea from another designer. Also, regarding the deck of playing cards costume (you have seen Hanadi perform in this costume), Amira tells me that she actually came up with that design at least 10 years ago for Nelly when she did a big show. So I guess designers will borrow ideas from each other.

Everytime I go to Cairo i check Sahar's costumes, and she know that we are more friends than I'm a customer as my priorities are to give money for privite lessons to Dandansh for example than buy a 700 euro costume.

I find the whole conversation without reason as it falls into the same category of the Haute Coutere designers. I always wonder why a bag can cost 500 euro lol. At least with costumes you are gonna get your money back.
And this is the importand. I cant understand a dancer that buy an Eman, or Sahar costume just to dance to a small dirty club, but for sure I understand one that dance at an Egyptian wedding that they know where from the costume is. Its a matter of image, and taste also.
Yes I do like her costumes as a change to the more covered ones, a girl have to change image and be unexpected in dance and costumes ;)
But unless I loose 20 pd and have a custome made (and the money) I dont see me buying one.
But the woman is doing a great job, and she and her hubby are great
