I think my costume collection is quite modest compared to most. I have two bedlah's (a madame abla and a pharaonics, each with a trumpet and a circle skirt), one fancy beaded dress, one Fifi style beledi dress, one shapeless cotton galibaya (does this even count??), and an an antique assuit tunic that I don't like. One of my skirts, the galibaya, and the tunic are homemade. My costume wardrobe has been approximately this size for quite a while now; when I buy a costume I generally sell one.

I have spent and still spend more money on instruction (classes, privates, workshops), music, and performance videos for study. I'm pretty sure my music collection alone outvalues my costume collection.

hi! welcome

Hi Sedonia...you are admirable in your restraint. I am afraid that when you combine discretionary income with a love of textiles and history and add a large dash of dance and music love - you end up with an exploding walkin in the spare bedroom! Now tell me more about that assuit! Thank you all for making me feel welcome
