Better call before going.
Is Cost Less still selling belly dance costumes and supplies? When I was there about 4-5 years ago, Patrick seemed intent on converting the shop to be ENTIRELY just another generic bead-selling store. He had nice beads for hobbyists who like to make their own jewelry, but he was almost hostile to me when I was asking about buying filigrees, foils, crystals, mirrors, etc. for making some repairs to my existing Cost Less costumes that had been made by his father. He told me he was trying to get rid of all belly dance related merchandise, including the pieces for doing costume repairs, as quickly as possible, and would be happy once he was rid of it all.

Maybe I just caught him on a bad day. But given how forceful he was in his conversation with me, I'm quite surprised to hear he may still be selling goodies! (I always loved Cost Less costumes, and I treasure the three I have!)
