The black and white just reminds of black and white stripes. It doesn't remind me of a zebra cuz I think zebra stripes would be a little curvy. But that's interesting you say that, because Sahar actually calls that one her "zebra" costume!
Also, you are right, we pay that price for the couture look and also for the fact that you won't see it duplicated on many dancers the way you will see Pharaonics, Eman and others duplicated. I had a conversation about that with Sherif and he told me that regarding Dina's spider costume (which is the first costume I ordered from Sahar and the one I asked him about), he said that Sahar has only made that costume for four dancers in the whole world (Dina, me, an Egyptian dancer in Alexandria and a dancer in Tunisia). Only my costume and Dina's are both dark blue, the other two dancers requested them in black. So you really won't see many people wearing them... But I have seen many copies/knock-offs of the spider costume by other designers on other dancers.

I think these costumes look very well made, very fitted, unique ... very couture.
I do think with the minimalist costumes you do need a better body than with the 'loaded' costumes.... with minimalist costumes theres nothing to distract from body flaws... just my opinion....
I happen to like the halter bra look..its different and sexy.
I'm not really a label whore, even though I own my fair share of Manolos...
I'm more into style and a well made garmet/costume....
Couture also means they won't be mass produced...
to me its really worth the price if you don't see the costume you paid 1000 or more for on 10 other dancers!
