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???

LOL! I hear you! I've never been label conscious, either with costumes or otherwise (well except for furniture and appliances). I go for quality and style rather than "who" made it. I bought a costume made by Vicky Horiuchi (sp?) many years ago. She was a fantastic costume maker in the Seattle area. I've danced in that costume probably a hundred times and I'm telling you it is indestructable and still looks good to boot! I get what I like - and I like quality with a little razzle-dazzle thrown in for good measure!
