I really love this one, too (the silver set on top of the page)....... http://www.halimedasoasis.com/costume/oriental.aspx

Those other sets are custome made in the US. They are lovely. Rather than totally beaded and sequined they have gorgeous fabrics with appliques. The fringe on the ones I have seen are bugle beads and they have a unique strapping system where the shoulder straps and side straps cross over, interlace through each other and tie. She has some really beautiful colors on those sets.

The one I have on consignment had no labels when I bought it and was never worn, only tried on. Has both neck and shoulder straps and the neck straps had been adjusted and the should straps were already securely sewn down.

The strapping, weight, workmanship, cup type, and fastening type are identical to my Abla costume. Just doesn't fit me.
