    If you have photo editing software, you can open the pdf, crop out the photo you want and then post it.

    If not, you can see if the costume is listed by name on Dahlal's site. Her site doesn't allow linking directly to photos, but sellers will often give the costume name so we can search for it on the site.

    The ideal thing is to take your own photos. People like to know that they're seeing the exact costume they're buying, rather than a similar one (if Dahlal had 5 of that style in stock, for instance) and we're accustomed to seeing a lot more detail on the Swap Meet than what Dahlal provides in her photos.

    (because we're buying used, or taking the seller's word that a costume is new, so we prefer to see the condition of the actual costume that we're buying as it looks now).

    As a last resort, you can just link to the newsletter as you've done here. But I'd try to get pics. Nearly everyone has a digital camera or cel phone that takes good pics these days. It's not a lot of trouble to go to if you're asking people to spend hundreds of dollars, IMO.

    Which one is it? I can get the picture for you, I can prnt screen on my computer, and post it here. You just copy the image location and put it in your post. It will get things started.

    But like Lara posted, people usually have intent and won't confirm until they see pictures on the body, or the costume itself whether it be laid on the bed, floor, or grass in the yard.

    Would you, please? It is at the bottom of page 3, lower right, Bright red color, costume name is "Cross My Heart" of https://www.dahlal.com/PDF/jan2008.pdf
    http://www.bhuz.com/forum/bellydance...-shipping.html

    Thank you ladies for helping me. I tried to open the pdf link in "PhotoSuite" and couldn't. I know that I should take a pic of me, but it doesn't look good on me. I have no curves--upper hip 31" and lower hip 32".

    My husband did it. Thanks for the suggestion. Hi Lauren, I put a youtube clip on the swap post. It took some courage. Hope someone will take it home.
