L.Rose Melaya Dress!
My L.Rose red on red halographic lycra Melaya dresses arrived yesterday - yes, Lora has designed a shorter version of a flared beledi dress with short sleeves, sassy cold shoulder cut-out and split circular drape. With the insert flares at hem and one off-center slit, it is really a very sassy dress for Melaya routine! Lora is a genious! I have had such a hard time finding a dress to use in Melaya routine and do not like the heavily beaded ones so this is a great alternative and just think of all the options in shiny metalskin and halo lycra! I'm sooooo happy with mine, when my duet partner and I perform our Melaya routine, I'll have pictures but I think you all get the general idea! Certainly the dress can be embellished with pailettes on sleeves and at neck and hem - I like it so much in the red halo that I don't think it needs it.
This is not in catalog but if you want one, call Lora and tell her "Nisima Sent Me for the Short Flared Beledi Dress for Melaya".

Well, I promised Lora the first picture for her gallery because my dress is the very first of this new line (smiles smugly). Okay, everyone stop whining, I will update you when Lora has posted the picture - I don't have the thingamabob for my Mac at home and cannot use the work computer to post pictures, (they actually expect me to do their stuff at work, go figure) .
Anyhoo, Monica I'm coming to your class on Monday, Sept.23 and will bring the red Melaya dress so you can see it.
And, I just talked to Lora this morning and she has other designs in mind for Melaya dresses - oh, the woman is amazing!  I want another one in that black halo lycra, maybe..........or that halographic blue purple......

I'm sorry, guys - I'm "camera clueless" and now the darn thing is on the fritz as well as my photolab printer (sob) so I will get a disposable, snap some pix and send them to Shoshanna to post in a few days.
I should not have played with your emotions about Melaya dresses! They are hard enough to find as it is, but I wanted you all to at least know that L.Rose is ON IT, and besides the flared version (it's the flared beledi dress only shorter, with short sleeves and a slit over one knee) Lora is thinking about doing Melaya dresses with chiffon ruffles or fringe at the hem and all sorts of sleeve options (of course!)
Group hug,
Nisima

I have always been a fan of the simpler Melaya dresses... Loved Fifi's in 'El Esmailia'.
For those lurkers wondering who L.Rose is:

I got to meet Nisima last night, and I got to see the melaya.
And I got to take a picture of her wearing it!
Picture posted with Nisima's permission. :)

Well, thanks - what you are not able to see is the cut-out "cold shoulders" and it looks decidedly lumpy as I had pulled the dress on over my top - but I think you all can see the possibilites of a simpler Melaya dress.
