Dahlal report
Just got back from Dahlal's open house. Whew, must've tried on a dozen costumes!
Couple of things I thought you'd want to know.
- The gold Pharonic costume with the ankh? She has three of those in stock with D cups, one might even fit a DD. The skirts are smallish on these, though -- I have 41" hips & couldn't quite safely zip them.
- The most gorgeous costume in the WHOLE store, IMO, is a sleeper on the website. It's called After Midnight on the website. It looks black, until you start to move and the blue sheen shows. Lots of rhinestone sparkle, and the MOST amazing shape to the skirt/cutouts (take a look at the back view on the site, it'll give you a clue). It fit me (I'm a D cup with 41" hips) but with muffintop. I would've had to add an extension to the bra band (I'm 33" underbust) and loosened the elastic, so it would definitely fit a smaller size even better. I'm 5'9" and the skirt is plenty long enough. I thought of Maria, or Tanya, right off the bat.
- The Eman 'in the pink' is also incredibly yummy for a tall dancer. And Hannan's 'coral gem' was a real contender for me, too, great fit.
- The 'vintage sari skirt' (under pakistini on the site) are REALLY nice in person. They're wrap skirts, and could be pressed into service IRL as well as with a costume.
