I'll see about sending you a photo as soon as I have one.
Nadia, H"

"Hi Lila,
I just received the costume, and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The pictures really don't do it justice. I just need to make some small alterations for it to fit right and be secure when I dance in it.  However, I don't think I will keep the veil and the skirt set. I was wondering if I can return only that set back to you? Please let me know.
Thanks., Ellen Chang"

"Hello Lila! I got my costume, it is spectacular! I might have to do some minor adjustments but all in all a pretty good fit. The beading is amazing! I did check your alterations page, and its been very helpful, but doesn't explain how to take beads off the cup of the bra. Will I have to go on the inside of the lining to snip them off??
Thanks again for all your help!
 Teresa, Angelini"

"I received my costume today.  It is so beautiful you are correct that the pictures online do not do the costumes justice.  Thank you so much for you quick shipping.  I really like the quality. The costume was the exact fit I needed.  Which one is always a little worried when ordering on the internet.

You can bet I'll be sending you a picture in this beautiful costume.  It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to more in the future.Thanks, Letha (Audrey) Phillips"

"Dear Lila, Just to let you know that my costume arrived safely yesterday, a little big, but I can fix that. It looks divine,  Justine Whitaker"

"Thank you so much I absolutely love my costume. I was thinking coz of my size i might still have a prob to fit into it right now. I was thinking i would have to loose a little more weight to get into it. but it fits and this week since i've got it I lost more weight and may have to move the hooks on the belt lol. I wore it on Friday 29th Feb at a cabaret called the Floating Fish at the Beechwood Halls Hotel in Worthing England. Its for local artists of various kinds to show off their talents. I danced with my dance troupe Nefertiri Arabic Dancers and we had a fantastic time. I wore my costume for the first time and everyone said how beautiful I looked. Many of my Dance troupe are now Jelious adn I think will be getting in touch with you soon. I have a website and I've added a link to your website on so that others can find their way to you easily .So thank you so much or providing me with it.lots of love and greeting from England  Jane  xxx"

"Hello Lila,
I was so happy to find you again on the internet.  I had purchased a pair of the same shoes from you back in the summer and they have been the saving of my dancing activities.  I have problems with my feet and these allow me to dance without discomfort or pain.  It just occurred to me that they are what allows me to continue to dance so I wanted to  make sure I always have these shoes.  I have bookmarked your website so that I can find you whenever I need them.

I recently bought a gold costume off you that I am very happy with Thank-you.  
I am interested in a red costume and are wondering if you will be getting some 
more in soon.  I am interested in "red 21 - carmen"  but are not sure at this 
stage if the bra would be the correct size for me. I was also interested in 
one of the other styles (red and gold) you had on your website that must have 
sold. I'm very keen to know when your next shippment of "Red" will be.
Also you shipped my gold costume to New Zealand and I'm wondering if it is 
still the same price of $40?
Many thanks

~~~"Hello!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, my computer has an attitude in the form of a virus. Very nasty. The costume just takes my breath away! It is superbly made, exquisite details and it fits very well. Just saying "WOW!" does not cover it.
I have another one, similar to this one in gold that I got from Turkey....but it just pales in comparrison to this one. I have several costumes and yours is by far the best one I have ever seen...and the best part is that it is mine! I will refer you to my bellydance friends...and again thanks so much!
Jana, M, North Carolina"~~~

~~~"Dear Lila,
My costume arrived today. You are right, it really is a beautiful costume, and the veil is perfect with it. A couple of minor adjustments and it will fit me perfectly.  and I thank you very much. I really look forward to use the costume, and can't wait to show it to my friends. However, since it is a Christmas present from my husband, it will be wrapped again and put under the Christmas tree, not to be opened till Christmas eve. You will understand from this that I am very happy with this costume, and will certainly recommend your web page should any of my belly dancing friends wish to purchase a costume of their own. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
Best wishes Signe, F, Norway"~~~

~~~"Hello. I just wanted to thank you for this absolutely
beautiful bedlah set! It looked pretty nice in the
photo, but the photo didn't begin to capture how
gorgeous it really is. I'm delighted with the design,
the workmanship - and the COLORS, oh wow. This will
be a Christmas gift for my lovely dancer daughter Rose
(M), who is very hard to fit in ready-made
professional quality costumes because of her small
size. I really appreciate the way you list all your
costumes with complete sizing information. Many
internet sellers of bellydance costumes just don't get
how important that is.
Thanks again!

My dance friends are very interesting in your costumes. I show them your site. I am sure you will get more order from them. I was wondering if you got the yellow costume in petite yet? If I may make suggestion, how about more hair band jewelry. I saw few of the dancer wear it and they are so pretty. I like your stuff and hope someday you will carry more stuff. Thank you.
Have a great day!

~~~"Lila,
You keep amazing me with the beauty of the costumes you find!
I want Fuschia #3! I would need the skirt and veil set. The last Fuschia and gold costume was fabulous, but the skirt and veil set had silver trim instead of gold. I plan to mix them with my silver costume. This time can I have the fuschia skirt and veil set with the gold trim to match?
I will send you another check this week. I think I want the turquoise costume next. I'll let you know in a note with the check. Love always,

  I just wanted to let you know that I received my costume. Its absolutely gorgeous. I love it, I need to take it and let my dance instructor see it on me so she can give me an honest opinion about the color and my skin tone. I know that your web site says I have 7 days to return it. But just in case I need to wait for a red costume like we talked about, can I send it back after I see what red costumes you have? or do I need to send it back before? Thanks for all your help and thanks for such fast shipment. Your costumes are quality!!!!
Thanks,
 LaDonna H, Florida"~~~

After I had ordered it, I spent some time reading the "About Me" section of your website.  I found it very interesting, and the customer comments were good for information too ( I found Joanne's particularly comforting, being a fellow Brit). Congrats on an excellent site and fantastic merchandise. I shall be recommending you all round. Best wishes

~~~"Dear Lila,
my costumes arrived. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!! I had absolutely no problems
with any extra charges at all.
The gold bra fits me perfectly! Infact, I have never had a dance bra fit
me so well! Even my husband was completely shocked. You know your costumes
and you can related their sizes, in a way I have never encountered. You
truely are an honest, woman whose business I hope grows and grows.
The red costume is amazing! So much detail. Absolutely gorgeous. The extra
jewellery you sent, along with the purse and scarf are so nice, and so
kind of you. I am extremely pleased with my order. I feel such a sense of
relief ordering from you, knowing not only will I get what I ordered but
it will indeed, be so much nicer than even the photos on the web convey!
In the future, I may be ordering zills and some hip scarfs from you for my
students. I've just started teaching here in Alberta but hope that soon I
will have some students who require "supplies".
Take Care and thank you so much,
Hope you have a very good day.
Tracy (Nefertiti) Porcelli, Canada"~~~

~~~"Hi again Lila – The set is really pretty, and I’ll be able to use several different colors of skirts with it.  The bra is plenty big, and I can make it fit me perfectly.  I’ll take everything in tonight and have it for the dance class photograph tomorrow.  Thank you soooooo much!   Your service is absolutely wonderful, and incredibly fast.  Blessings upon you!

~~~"Dear Lila, I am just writing to let you know (once again) how much I love your costume. It looks amazing on me. I already performed a few times in it and it looked great. I will be wearing it in Miss UCF pageant for my talent. I am so excited about it because I developed my own choreography and everyone loves it.I did not forget about sending you a picture - I just didn't take any yet. I simply did not have the time. My school started and I work three part time jobs - I hardly have time to sleep. I just got a digital camera a few days ago and as soon as I figure out how it works, and when I have time to "make myself look pretty" I will take a few pictures and e-mail them to you. Thank you for bringing so much happiness in my life. Love, Vanja, G, Florida"~~~

~~~"I just wanted to let you know that i received my costume and it is beautiful.  It will have to be altered slightly and I thank you for the how-to's that came with it.  Words cannot express how happy I was to have it in hand.  Forgive me for not getting to you sooner.  I'm in the process of relocating and have been very busy.  Thank you again., Vanessa, R, Tennessee"~~~ 

~~~"Dear Lila, Just got the scarf....I LOVE IT!!!!! I know I will get tons of fun with this !!! Thank you! Blessings, Nelda, C, Eugene Oregon"~~~

~~~"Dear Lila My Hip Scarf arrived today and as with my costume it is BEAUTIFUL.    Thanks again Kind regards Cherie Davenport, Australia"~~

~~~"Dear Beth, my costume arrived today:
It is absolutely lovely - I am totally entranced!
You are right that the picture on the website does not show how
beautiful the costume is - in real life the costume is such a gorgeous
rich, warm golden colour that sparkles and twinkles in the light.  I
cannot wait to perform in it!
The belt is a perfect fit and the bra cups perfectly enhance my
natural shape!  I will just have to do a little adjustment, taking the
bra band in a little, and shortening the bra straps but, apart from
that, it is an absolutely perfect fit.
Thanks again for all your help Beth. 
& your truly dazzling and beautiful professional costumes,
the other thing that really distinguishes Belly Dancing Bazaar is
customer service.  I hope you put this comment on your website
because, when ordering over the internet, especially overseas, there's
a lot of trust involved.  I am happy to say I feel you have treated me
as a valued and special customer (rather than just someone anonymous
at the end of an email, which I have experienced elsewhere!).
Kind regards,
Joanne / Johara, M, London U.K."~~~

~~~"hello-
i was looking around online for ideas for a cool, light, costume for
this upcoming halloween (early i know, but i make all my own
costumes!) and saw your sight for bellydancing attire. i looked at the
galery, and was postivly THRILLED to see pictures of non-hourglass
figures! i'm not exactly thin myself, so i know am planning to go out
in a belly dancing costume because of the pictures of the obious
mothers (stretch marks) and the ones that have even more obious weight
than i do! i unforantly can't afford to buy my whole costume from you
(it is just a one-night evant after all!) but i shall seriously
consider getting some accesories from you, as i love to wear fun
little things like hip scarfs and the like. Anyways, i just wanted to
applaud you on putting up non- skinny pictures!

The costume is so beautiful it is unbelievable the workmanship and patience taken in creating such a beautiful costume, one I will treasure for many years. Thank you and kia kaha arohanui.

Best, Sandra, O, Chestnut Ridge, NJ"~~~

~~~"
I received the costume and it just took my breath away!  It is so
incredibly beautiful!  The belt fits perfectly!  I was so worried
because I have got a set of hips and then some!  I have to make a few
modifications to the bra straps (nothing too difficult!) and once I have
done that, I will have my husband take a picture of me in the entire
costume and send it to you!  It is so very beautiful!!!
If you ever get a green or copper with silver that has a belt that will
fit 41" hips, please keep me in mind!  I have a 34" underbust
measurement (and a B cup) so I am a little difficult to fit!

~~~"Dear Lila, I’d like to share a little true story with you, since we talked on the phone. About ten years ago I decided to quit dancing because I didn’t think anyone would be interested in seeing a middle aged belly dancer.  During the time I stopped dancing I gained almost 20 pounds and my cholesterol and weight made my doctor very unhappy with me.  Then, because I love the dance and missed it, I started dancing again.  In one year I lost 14 pounds and 1 whole dress size. When I went in for my check up my doctor asked how I managed to lose so much weight and lower my cholesterol.  Since this is a fairly conservative area, I said, exercise.  He asked me what kind of exercise, so I told him, dancing.  What kind of dancing? Well, belly dancing.  He didn’t say anything much after that but as I was leaving, he said to me:  “You don’t want to lose too much weight.  Belly dancers shouldn’t be too thin!” Cute story sent by L from the Southwest"~~~

~~~"Dear sima,

~~~"Dear sima,
The costume you shipped me is absolutely fabulous! A few minor alterations and it will fit perfectly.  I am so impressed--nothing compares to the quality for the price.  I was initially a little skeptical about buying over the internet, but I have been pleasantly surprised! All the other costumes I looked at in person from other dealers that came anywhere close in quality were in the $600-1000 range.
Thank you! I will send pictures soon. And I'll be watching for a copper set in my size!
Elizabeth, B, La Cross, Wisconsin"~~~

~~~"Hi sima,  I received my costumes today and was VERY pleasantly

~~~"Dear Lila, Thank you for the gorgeous costume, it arrived safely yesterday.  I can't believe that it fits me perfectly, it's as if you flew over to Australia just to measure me up and have the costume made, nothing needs to be altered!!!  As soon as I get a photo, I'll send you one.Kind regards, Alia, K, Vic, Australia"~~~

~~~"Dear Lila,
I received my costume on Monday morning.  I have been so busy that I
haven't had a chance to write you until now.  I absolutely LOVE it!  It
is gorgeous as well as an example of fine craft.  As soon as I had
finished with the alterations on it ( I ordered it a few inches too big
just to be on the safe side.), I put it on and danced in it for about
an hour.  I want  you to know that as hard as I danced in it, the
costume was true to what you say as far as not losing a single sequin
or bead!!  Just perfect! 
I have a performance this Friday and Saturday night.  I can't wait to
dance in my new costume!  Would you like photos?
Sincerely Yours in Belly Dance,
Atira, Alabama"~~~

~~~"Dear Lila: I wanted to say "Thank You" for all your kindness in allowing me to try on and find the right sized bellydance costume last Sat. evening at the First Annual Belly Dance Festival in Saco, Maine. I must say that the costume was the "hit of the evening" with my troop from Concord, New Hampshire.  Everyone loved it.  The teal/blue color is truly a color that I will look for more often.  The women that I dance with will also be sending you e~mails and or looking for you at the Keene, NH festival in May, to purchase items. The man I am currently dating just about fell off his chair when I showed him how that costume looked on me Monday evening! <ha ha>  Again, Thank You, for all your kindness.

~~~"Hello Lila, I hope that you are well. Just a quick e-mail from "snowy" England to say that my beautiful outfit arrived last week and I wore it on Saturday night. It looked fantastic, I am so pleased with it - thank you. I had to make a few adjustments to the bra top but the rest fitted fine. I hope to order another costume very soon and will be in touch. Would the shipping cost be the same or does it depend on the costume and change every time? Kindest regards and best wishes to you. Sue, L, United Kingdom"~~.

~~~"Lila, The hip scarves are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I have worn each of them for like an hour just because I feel so very beautiful and elegant in them. I have been fascinated with belly dancing, and not the western version of dance, but all of styles of Middle Eastern dance (belly dance). I have finally worked up enough nerve to take a class so that perhaps one day I could dance skillfully. For this class we had to get hip scarves to help us understand the intricate movements. Both of these scarves will help me and make me feel like I am on my way to dancing better. I am giving all of my classmates (including my best friend Andrea) your website and recommending that is where they go and showing the instructor who professionally dances the scarves. Thank you sooo very much for doing this.  I will send you a picture of me in the scarves one day soon. Best, Leigh-Anne, Lansing MI "~~~

~~~"Hello Lila,
I just want to let you know that the costume has arrived on Tuesday.

the excellent service.

~~~"Lila, My silver #12 costume arrived on Friday and I couldn't be more pleased.  Finding something that would fit my 36-38 DDD is not easy and I was so pleased to see that you had so many bedlah in stock that should fit my size.  The bra and belt both fit perfectly and other than moving the strap placement slightly, need no alterations at all.  I am delighted!!!  I also want to compliment you on your exceptional customer service.  Friendly, prompt service doesn't cost a penny and reaps such rewards.  You have my sincere recommendation.

~~~"Dear Lila, Hi!! I just wanted to let you know that I got my absolutely gorgeous costume today!! I thought it would arrive on Monday, but instead it came today. It really is the most beautiful costume I have ever seen, and I hope that you would tell the ladies who worked on it that I am very grateful. It is so fantastic. It's very hard to find somebody who will treat their customers kindly and answer e-mails in a timely fashion, and I am still impressed at how the costume arrived so quickly! Thank you and I will definitely recommend your website to other dancers. Still-can't-get-over-my-costume, Abby, B, Riverside, CA"~~~. 

~~~"Thanks guys, my costume arrived safe and sound and its just wonderfull. i
just need to take it in a wee bit, but that will be easy done. When I first
tried it on I had just started doing the house work. I wanted to get a feel
of the movement of the beading, so continued with the vaccuming and mopping
with the costume on......the kids thought I had finally lost the plot!
Thanks again for the helpfull quick service. NOw all I have to do is deside
on what my next one will be!
Take care,
love Mary, M Australia"~~~

~~~"Dear Lila-
       I just read your essay under "My Story". Thank you for the sharing the truth about bellydance. I have been dancing for a year and a half, and have found it to be my true passion. However, when I tell many people that I dance they get the wrong idea, if you know what I mean. Please continue to spread the truth about this magical dance.
       Would you happen to do lectures, seminars, etc.? Thank you, again- Cynthia
P.S. Thanks also for providing costumes in sizes for real women!"~~~

~~~"Hi Lila
Just wanted to let you know the outfit arrived today and it is fantastic. A
little big but I can fix that.  I am so pleased and if you have any specials
or new lines let me know as I am looking  to purchase another in the next
couple of weeks as it will be my 26th Birthday and it will be one of my
presents. Take Care! Katrina, Sydney, Australia"~~~

~~~"HEy, looks like a few hours after I emailed you, I received the costume. THank you sooo much. It's amazing and beautiful, one of the most beautiful things I have ever owned and I feel so honored and privileged to own one.  I can't believe the tremendous amount of work involved. I have done some hand work on costumes, so I can appreciate all that time that went into it. It's truly amazing.  I can't wait to dance in it. Thanks so much. Corinne H, Canada"~~

~~~"Hello Lila!
I received my costume on Friday.  It is really beautiful and I can't wait to
wear it!  I will need to make a few minor adjustments to the top, but
otherwise it is perfect.  Thank you for the quick shipping and excellent
customer service.  I will be sure to tell all my other dance sisters about
your site and use it again myself in the future.  Happy Holidays!

~~~"Dear Lila,
 Hello.  I just received my costume and WOW! That was super fast shipping as well and everything is great! Lol, you weren't kidding about size. I definitely need to adjust but I was able to hold it at adjusted size and it's going to look awesome when I get it sized. I can't believe how gorgeous this costume is! Better than the pictures like you said. Thank you so much and I'll work on getting a picture for you :)
Jennifer, T, Clarksville, VA"~~

 

~~~"I enjoy all three of the outfits I got from you. They are all beautiful. Plus dancing in them makes me forget about going to college. It was no trouble at all to fix that one skirt, I got it done in about two days. I have just been waiting for you to get in some more copper or red color outfits and I remembered what you told me on my first order with you that it would be about four weeks before you got new ones in. I kept checking everyday, I saw some new ones. Thanks again.

~~~"Hello, I just received the turquoise costume for my sister.  It is stunning. I want to order , for myself, 1 each #1 Iris Blue Cabaret Costume too. Thank you for such a well made product. To female empowerment! Julie O, Silverdale Washington"~~

~~~"Dear Lila,

I got the costume today and I am VERY happy with it. The color is
fantastic and I really appreciate the way the cups fit
and the way it flatters me in general. It's comfortable. I love
everything about it, so you can rest easy. It's very flattering, and it
will give me confidence to get back into trying performing again -- the
color is really good for me. The alteration will be easy, it's very
nicely made and that really helps.  All in all, WOW!!! I'm pleased!!
Also thank you so much for the keffiyah and for being so nice to do
business with!
Happy holidays (and shimmies!)   Nancy"~~~

~~~"Hi lila
Happy new year to you. Just a quick thank you. The turquoise costume was a
big hit with my
husband, and as i have lost a few more pounds it looks even better.
He loves it. I will keep in touch for more costumes in the future.
Thanks again .Bahira"~~~.

~~~"Dear Lila,

My performance last Monday night in the red costume went very well!   Red is always a crowd-pleaser, particularly at the nursing home where we perform regularly for the residents.  The costume was much admired by all!   I gave a few of the girls in my troupe your brochures, I hope you hear from them!    The silver harem pants were an excellent finishing touch to this costume.   I always wear harem pants under my skirts because I am very fair skinned, and am a "health nut" so I stay out of the sun, and I don't care for the sight of my white, bare legs!   Plus I feel my skirts move more gracefully over harem pants.   I finally had someone make silver lame ones for me ... they were impossible to locate and I was afraid to try to sew them myself because that fabric does fray.   A professional did an excellent job for me for about $45.00 and I wear them with the two costumes I bought from you!    Looks awesome with the silver and white, my teacher calls it my "Ice Princess" costume! Unfortunately I did not get any pictures taken at this performance, I forgot my digital camera in rushing to get there in time, and no one else had one, but I will be sending pictures of me in both costumes soon, I will just put them on at home the next time I have someone around to take a few pictures! I'll be watching your site, I want a black and gold costume next! Your sister in dance, Janet (now using "Jamilah" as my "dance name" ... what do you think?) Janet M de Luca, NY"

~~~"Wow, Lila,
What an amazingly beautiful costume!!!  Until now, it is the most beautiful
costume I ever did see!! When the light shines on it, it is really
sparkling! And it fits very well! Only I have to shorten the shoulder straps
a tiny little bit. I made a little dance in it to try it out and the costume gives my dance
that special extra. It feels really good! I am sure I will have a lot of
pleasure when I will be dancing in this costume.
Thank you very much, also for your good service, your fast response on my
e-mails and your fast delivery,
Best whishes,
Mireille, C, Belgium"~~~

~~~"I received both of my outfits on Wednesday. I have one altered already, the other one I still have to move the hooks then I am finished. I would like to place another order for the Black 15 costume, Bra 36-38, Hip belt 35-41. These costumes are really pretty, I feel real bad sometimes that no one else is going to see them other then my kids, I only dance for them and myself.  One more thing, do you ever sale the canes or the balanced swords on your web site, if not do you have a web site that you would recommend and trust. Thanks again. Kelli Morris, Tennesee"~~

~~~"The costumes are so beautiful and my teacher and I are very happy with them. 
they were easy to have altered (very little needed to be altered too) and Lila
doesn't lie when she says they look better in person.  I would highly recommend
these costumes.  Lauren M. San Marcos California"~~~

Many thanks Tersia (Berkshire, United Kingdom)"~~

~~"Hello Lila, This is Khaleeda from L.A...I'm the one who just bought the elaborate costume from you and one of your early customers from 7 years ago: I just wanted to let you know that the new elaborate costume is fit to display in a museum, it is so incredibly and intricately made; the Pictures simply do it no justice. It weighs 7 1/2 lbs: the details on the shoulders are fantastic and the leaded crystal accents create a nice effect.  The Armbands are really unique and the fringe is heavy and elaborate. this costume must have taken the maker many weeks to make; I doubt that this kind of artwork will be continued to be made in the future and then I'll have at my possession a one of a kind work of art which will only increase in price....like old wine....:)  I have already danced in it in my performances and it fits me like a glove. I will send you a picture of me in it when I pick the best one.  I'm one happy customer and for the price I paid ($450) it is a real steal compared with other sites I checked, and none showed the quality of the one I have.  I have received so many compliments, and the girls are really envious...:) The iridescent effect never showed well online, and in real life it's just fantastic beyond belief!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and informative and fast service.  Be sure that I will but from you again in the future. Forever grateful, Khaleeda, L.A."~~

Yesterday I received the costume, it is soooooo beautiful! I was really

Thanks,

~~~"Hi Lila - I haven't forgotten to send a photo!  They just aren't developed yet.  I feel like I am in the stone age sometimes with technology.  About a month before I ordered my white costume, my fellow dancer, Jill Smith, ordered the same one in red by phone.  We took our pictures together for your amusement!  We really love the costumes and everyone else does too.  I will try to email the photos to you soon!  Thanks,  Shelley M., Kentwood, Michigan"~~~

~~~"Hi Lila,
I wanted to take a minute and let you know that I got
my hip scarf (actually quite a few days ago; time is
getting away from me!). It's so beautiful. I've never
had a beaded one before and I love it. Coins are nice
but they're so heavy and I'm really more of a bead
person anyway, it's my new favorite. I'm going to wear
it to the seminar this weekend. Thanks so much! Hope
this note finds you happy and healthy!
Peace,
        Leyla Soleil"~~~

~~~"hi thank you for the beaded hip scarf i love I look forward to doing business in the future. thank you very much from tarnya, Australia"~~~

~~~"Good morning Lila, My costume arrived yesterday. The pictures on the Internet do not do it justice. It is truly fabulous, with a few alterations it will look stunning, so shiny and the beads swing beautifully. I can't believe it is all hand sewn for the price I paid. Thank you for your quick response to all my email's, it has been a pleasure to deal with someone so efficient and honest. Can't thank you enough. Kindest regards, Cassandra, Queensland,  Australia, PS will send a photo"~~

~~"Hi!
Thank you so much!  The silver/gold costume arrived yesterday, and with
some alterations, it fits me perfectly!  I'm joining a picture of me
wearing it in my studio!  I wanted a set that would fit with all my
accessories, (gold and silver) and it's perfect!
I will wear my new costume with pride!

~~~"Dear friends, you saved my performance: I needed my Cabaret costume immediately and I received it the very next day. Thank you, thank you!! It fits perfectly. Your costume stole the show and everyone wanted to know where I got it, so I sent them to you with the highest recommendations. I will be back soon before the Holidays to buy another!.  For ever grateful, Amira, NYC"~~~ 

~~~"Dear Sima, I wanted to let you know that I received my beautiful Copper costume and that it fits great! the quality and workmanship are amazing! I'm so happy it came so fast, just in time for my Renaissance Faire Festival: needless to say I stood out and received so many compliments for the beautiful costume.  I will be back to buy another. Thanks for offering such great ethnic handmade treasures right here in the U.S.A.  Lizzy, Amherst, Mass"~~~

~~~"Hello Lila, I bought my very first costume from you 7 years ago when you were the only site that sold real cabaret costumes on the net, and it's still my favorite.  I have danced in it all those years in my restaurant and wedding performances and it still looks new like the day i bought it.  Now I'm back to buy an elaborate costume from you to add to my collection. I still think you have the most beautiful costumes anywhere in the world, not the mention their superb quality!. With deep appreciation, Khaleeda, Los Angeles"~~

l~~~"Dear Lila, I just picked up my costume and it's soooo beautiful! It will need quite a bit of altering but that's okay because I'm getting pretty good at it by now. It seems like costumes always run quite a bit big for me. I think I could look into petite sizes except I'm a D to DD bra. Around the ribs I actually measure like  31 inches right under the breasts but if I do it around and up over the breasts like they do to measure standard bra sizes then I'm a 36. I've lost quite a bit of weight so I'm still getting used to my sizes now so maybe that's it. Anyway, I also received this red, gold and bronze Swarovski crystal and fiery opal necklace and earrings from my husband for my birthday that looks like it was made for this costume! He didn't plan it either; it was just freaky good luck. This is going to be my best costume yet. And you were wonderful to work with. Very prompt, kind service and super quality. Actually I was thinking, if it's okay with you, I'd like to put! a link to your site on my website. I have some students who may buy costumes at some point and I'll definitely recommend you. You've got a great little business going there. I'll send you a picture as soon as I get the costume altered. It'll probably take me a week. If all goes as planned, I'll be wearing it next weekend! Many thanks, Leyla Soleil, Akron, Ohio"~~~(see her link on our link page)

~~~"Hi Lila, Just a quick note to let you know the costume arrived a day earlier than predicted…which happened to be on my birthday! Although a few alterations are needed for it to fit, they seem to be minor. I am pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of the costume. The only real criticism is the sheer nature of the skirt fabric; it is a bit see-through. Otherwise, I am very pleased. Thank you for your prompt delivery! Cheers, Kathy, St. Peters, Missouri"~~~

~~~"Lila,
The costume arrived safely and it is gorgeous.  I will have no troubles
adjusting it to fit - move the straps, replace the hooks, stuff the cups,
and voila!  The amazing thing is that the skirt is long enough.  Because it
is bias-cut it stretches to just above the floor.  Once I get it all fixed
up, I'll have to get a picture taken and send it to you.  Thanks for the
excellent costume and service!  I'll be sure to pass the extra brochures
along to other girls in the dance troupe.  Check us out:
I'm the tall one - usually in the back or center.

 ~~~"Lila,I just wanted to send you a note of my sincerest appreciation for getting the costume to Romania in time for me. On behalf of myself and Virginia I give you my deepest thanks. I was just online and saw the look in her eyes when she saw the costume and of course she just had to model it for me as well. She is one very happy woman today, you made her day.  She was absolutely beautiful in the outfit. She is really excited. She will be performing at an event on the Black Sea at a conference that is running the entire month of August. Needless
