Oh and BTW:
The brown costume right when entering the page of www.paganinicostumes.com was sold by thebellydanceshop as a Bella when they still had them on their webpage. I recognize it. |

Hopefully I can get some pics up that don't make me cringe, then you'll definetely see bella's on a much less than perfect body

Most of my Bella's have bra/belts. You don't have to get the belt/skirt combo. I prefer an actual belt too just in case I want to switch up the skirt or if I gain/lose weight and need to adjust it. I just ask Bella to make it that way.  |

For me it's about the shape of the bra. Pharaonics and Ablas and even Sims, the shape is pretty good for those of use who the boob fairy was kind to, but Bellas, no so much. . .

Ok, I'm ordering the coin costume. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Of course that means I will be listing something on the swap page soon.  |

I haven't seen many coin costumes that I actually like and I figure this will be perfect for grams. I need a new workhorse costume.

Hi Sha-ri,
I am the person who bought that costume and you are right, it is the very one featured on the paganini homepage. My costume came with an authentic Bella label in it so I've written to Bella to ask why. Let's see what she says. I don't blame thebellydanceshop - they just sell what Bella provides them. |

I am going to hazzard a guess that it is a bit like Yves St. Laurent designing under the House of Dior name. . .

You need to put your first name in one box, and surname separately in the second (it comes up as *****'s like a password) There are only 2 costumes in there at the moment, but she told me it would be updated soon with more. |

And by the way I would not hesitate in buying one of these if I had any spare money, they look as nice quality as Bella's and cheaper too. I wouldn't pay more just for the label, and I don't think she is ripping Bella off, it almost seems like this is a diffusion line and they are closely linked.

There are some Bella's modelled by non-bellydance-superstar girls here: http://faridadance.com
Oh dear I feel like I'm on dodgy ground already, I don't mean to say they have bad figures, they are normal bodies and not supermodels. |

I hope so, she told me in April they will update the exclusive costumes as soon as she will be back to Istanbul, well that was already 4 month ago.
Seems like sometimes Maria is as slow as Bella themselfs as well |

Yes Kay uses "normal" girls on her website as well as the perfectly homed and young . I think it' a brilliant idea that makes marketing sense.
I think most of us less than perfect are quite happy to be called normal
Sigh..I used to be the perfect 10 but I worked so hard at it, I reckon I forgot to smile...now I'm a free bus carrying, old blonde size 16, I actually get more attention and not just from racy grey haired guys...mmm..I think I smile more.
I danced in a local restaurant,every not so perfect lb encased in an Amira dress to whoops of pleasure from the parties present. Originally I was just dancing to say good bye to one of my students and was worried the other customers might protest but hey, they liked me and the staff asked why didn't I do regularly. GOSH!!!
