I just called and mine is finally in (from a March 16th order). It was a Pharaonics - maybe it depends on the brand. They are checking it over now and will be sending it out next week. Woohoo - I got so excited on the phone that the Dahlal rep said she was excited with me.
I wrote a verse to celebrate (sung to the tune of O Holy Night)
O Great Loop, Your Beads are Brightly Shining
You're the Bedlah of your dear dancer's mirth
Long lay the dancer, for Dahlal pining
Til you appeared and the belt fit her girth
A thrill of hope, belly dancer rejoices!
For yonder lies, a glorious UPS package
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun......to the door.
