Beautiful costumes at Belly Dance Store

Somebody buy these QUICK before I sell one of my children for medical experiments.

This is Eman at her very best, IMO. And only $595!

This Hanan is only $295, you can't buy one USED for that! Skirt looks pretty daggone sheer. Hmmmm...

If you buy one of them, can I have first dibs on it when you're done?

Lauren, I have the black/silver Eman on layaway! So we have similar tastes! Did you find a veil for your lime?

Yup, I'm going with an A'Kai blend AND a solid minty green, for different occasions.

So...are you selling something to make room for the Eman, hmmmm?????

I love that Eman too! I would say you not only have similar taste, but great taste. It has been on the top of my "must have list" for a wee while now.

I was just wondering that myself. How did you go about that? That could be the perfect way for me to own something I really want sooner.

Also, didnt they have this red Hanan on Dahlal? If not, there is a very similar one I had asked them about and I got a reply saying they didnt have anything my size in stuck and it was not available to order as a custom order. This red one above is exactly for me!

Have any of you bought from that seller before? Just curious how the experience was.

She sells a lot of Emans. If you do a search on her page for "Eman Zaki" you will sell all the ones she is selling. For some reason, she posts multiple times the same costume (she posts the blue & white striped galaybeya twice) and the Pharaonic queen at least 3-4 times). She has sold more Emans in the past. I have never ordered from her so I can't speak of my experience, but I know someone who did order from her. She custom ordered an Eman, the size came out wrong, but the vendor allowed her to re-order another costume. I also heard that this vendor takes forever to respond to inquiries.

I have bought lots from Shahrzad -- she's great. Lauren, in answer to your question, as a matter of fact, I just took some pix of one of her costumes to put up tonight -- it's a brown stretch velvet with lots of gold. Two piece-selling it because I thought I'd give the "one side pant leg, the other side skirt" design a try -- it's just not me, so I'm posting it. Brand new. Lovely costume.

About the "layaway" -- I don't know if she is offering this now, but it was in one of her ads a while back that you could pay in three parts, 1/3 now and 1/3 and 1/3 monthly. Ask her if she still has that -- I am delighted with everything I've gotten. If something didn't fit, it's because I knew it might not, but took a chance anyway!

So, Aazura -- OK, you are first in line, for sure! Will make a note of it.

PS - I bought a burgundy dress from her very similar to the red one above --
but it's a dress. LOVE it.

Only problem is that when you go to the site, a lot of the costumes shown have already been sold and they are up so you can order from the pictures. Or else they are on Ebay. So you need to find out if they are still available.
If that red one is still available, Amity, I'd take a chance -- that's a great price! (check on Ebay, she may have it listed there and you could get it right away!)

Shahrzad, the owner, is currently in Cairo but emailed me yesterday. Right now, though, there may be a delay in getting responses to normal vendor questions....

I have bought many costumes from this place. (It's 5 minutes from my house.)The prices are great!

Oh I remember reading about that 1/3 payments... heck I could probably do that with that red costume, that wouldnt be much of a payment! I'll check, thank you. Leyla, if you are reading here, please talk me out of it!

Copied from their website:

Payment Plan: You can buy any costume and rather than having to pay all the money up front, you can take up to three months and make smaller payments, depending on what you are comfortable with. As long as you pay a minimum of one third of the total amount by the end of the month until it is paid off. For example, if the costume is $300, you will be paying at least $100 each month. If it is $400, you will be paying at least $133 each month.

I want them all! And I totally just bought a Sim on swap meet and am making a serious-bidness tribal costume with expensive parts.

I hope somebody fabulous buys that black/silver one and posts pictures. It is made of liquid hotness.

Lauren, those kids have been around for years. Don't you think it's about time you trade them in for something new and sparkly? Seriously, that black Eman is a stunner.
