A friend of mine bought a dress which was supposed to have been worn by Samia Gamal.
There was a shop a few years ago, in London, called the Egypt House, which sold Egyptian stuff (the usual kind of stuff they sell to tourists out there) which had a small costume section downstairs. Most of the costumes were the usual nipple-flower-tastic tourist tat, but there was one dress which was completely different, in a beige sparkly nylon fabric, with masses, masses of bead drops, all down the skirt. It weighed a ton, but it was tiny. The shop staff said it was Samia's and was quite impressed that we even knew who Samia was. Sylvia won't ever be able to wear it, but she felt it needed to be owned by someone who would appreciate it.
