Lila has received hundreds of unsolicited comments throughout the years from our satisfied customers; here are just a few:
"Hello Lila, I bought a Chinese made costume on the internet, which came apart on the first dance. It totally shredded, with all the sequins and beads falling all over and it was so embarrassing, to say the least! the costume was sooo cheaply made! it was literally ridiculous. So then I bought a REAL costume from you and it's been almost a year and is still like new and looks like it was purchased today! I am a professional dancer now: I dance in it for hours many times a week! your costume has gone through much "hardship" with me and is soo strong and super high quality. I also fold it and bend it when I travel around, and it stands all of it and looks like new; your costumes are the highest quality I have ever seen and the girls in my troupe already bought from you because they could see the difference between your costumes and the cheap China and India made ones; there is simply no comparison!. Your costumes are sturdy, heavy but versatile, and so well made!!! they are the real thing! I can't thank you enough and am now going to buy another one from you to add to my collection! Thank you for offering the real thing and not some Chinese knockoff which I threw my money away on. Keep on the tradition of making real Middle Eastern Costumes! Thanks so much, Jennifer, (L.A. California)"
"Hi Lila, This is the 4th time that I am buying my costume from you. I was one of your earlier customers 12 years ago. All my costumes look like they were purchased yesterday and I was a dancer and teacher: meaning; I wore them to death! BUT, they still look NEW! simply new! I no longer belly dance (as much) , but I am buying a set for clubbing and my upcoming cruise; hey, I'm an addict of your costumes, who said I need to wear them just to belly dance?! I wear it in my club in Las Vegas, to all kinds of festivals and to regular parties, I think I am starting a trend, because I sent you many gals who loved my costumes at the parties & they were not belly dancers at all. For god's sake, I wore one for a black tie event, everybody thought it was made by "Badgley Mischka"...so I'm off to order another one of your hand made treasures. Your friend, Suhalia, California"
~~~"Hello Lila!!

~~~Hi Lila!
I had a pleasure to buy a costume from you in September.
It was a lavender costume. I love it, I use it very often and I've got some
photos to share with you if you want to see or if you want to upload on your
page.
I frequently visit your site and collecting money for the next one ;)
Best regards,
Kasia, from Poland.~~
~~~Thank you Lila. I used to make all my own costumes and that was the first one I ever purchases all made and ready to wear. It was like Christmas opening that box. I had just had surgery and decided to give myself a treat.,thank you!! Laura (kansas)~~~
~~~Hi Lila,
I got the costume yesterday, and I have to say wow the colors are so vibrant, it is abosultely beautiful!!!
Thank you for such prompt service and your wonderful attention to detail :)
Warm regards,
Debra, (Misouri)~~~
~~~Hi Lila, I received the beautiful costume today in the mail..thank you for the promptness. I love it. My only question is that the waist on it is a little big and has to be fitted a bit more and the bra is HUGE...both in the cup sizes and the bust. I'm normally a 34B but the bra needs major alterations. My mother said she thinks she will be able to adjust it hopefully but I just wanted to make sure that I ordered the smallest size available in this costume....i didn't see a smaller one on the page. Thank you again for the beautiful costume and any suggestions you may have for alterations are of course welcomed, obviously you will know more than I do. Thank you, Nikki, (california)~~~
~~~Hello Lila: How are you? I had purchase a costume from you about 2 yrs ago and now its time to get a new one. There's 1 that I particularly like its the Fuchsia #101 Magenta Magic but the size its too small. Do you plan on having a bigger size on that particular style some time soon? Let me know; Thank you; Maria. (Miami)~~~
~~~P.S. Did I ever send you this picture of me in the first costume I bought from you? If you would like to add it to the gallery my dance name is Loreli.~~~
~~~Hi!
I bought 3 of your silver costumes before and totally love them! :) I want
another one! Thanks, Delilah~~~

~~~~Hi
there Lila
I thought I would send you a photo of me in one of my new costumes purchased
from you in August.Its the Turquoise one- I performed at a show last night and
there were so many comments on the costume!!
Unfortunately they were taken in the dressing room so the surrounds are not that
nice but you get the idea!
You are welcome to put it on the website if you want, but can you please put my
name as my dance name which is Zivah.
I will send you one in the purple costume once I wear it to a performance.
Thanks again
Kind Regards

~~~"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!

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,

Thank was really quick. 4 days to England. And the skirt is everything I
expected and more. Thank you so much. 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

~~~"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.

~~~"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.

~~~"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"~~~

Thank you again., Vanessa, R, Tennessee"~~~

~~~"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!

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!

The costume you shipped me is absolutely fabulous! A few minor alterations

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!

~~~"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?

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. Sincerely, Cindy S, NH"~~~

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.

~~~"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 "~~~

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"~~~

Thank you so much for my gorgeous cossie! It is a little big but at least

~~~"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"~~

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"~~~

Happy new year to you.
Just a quick thank you. The turquoise costume was a
big hit with my

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"

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,

~~"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."~~

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!

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!

~~~"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)

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:

~~~"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 to say she is very happy and could not find a costume like this in Romania. Well now you know the rest of the story. Thank you both again you have made me very happy. In the future I will need to get her one more custom and I will contact you first, your service was extraordinary and you got it to her on time. My sincerest thanks and appreciation as you touched the heart of a beautiful young woman half way around the world. Thanks to you both. I am sure you don't ship to Romania everyday but since March they have lowered the duty on items to $40 Euros. So there was an additional $55 USD tax paid to the Romanian Government. I didn't mind it was worth the look on her face. My sincerest wishes and best to your business in the future,, sincerely ,Bernie Tracy, California~~~

Hello, Lila.
~~~"I just wanted to let you and your husband know that the
lavender costume I ordered arrived safely and right on time. I
adjusted it without any problems and put my own twist on it. I
performed in it at an outdoor fair for the first time on Sunday.
It worked out great.
here was only one little glitch. One of the wrist bands and the
headband were slighlty different in color and design. The beads
are lighter in shade than the costume. I was wondering if perhaps
the incorrect ones were shipped by accident and if the matching ones are
still somewhere in your inventory. I would be willing to send
these back to exchange for the correct ones.
Thanks,
- Marie Soto, Texas"~~~
~~~"Hi
- I purchased a dance costume from you last January and I LOVE it.
I have a question - the costume came with a skirt and veil. The
veil is
intersting - it has beads and little plastic mirrors around the the
entire
border of the veil. I'd like to get one or two more veils - can I
order
just a veil? what would the cost be for:
1 veil white with silver beads/mirrors
1 fuscia veil with silver beads/mirrors

Hey! I tried to send you 4 (pictures), but had a little trouble
along the way, so I sent you my 2 favorite pictures
from the Egyptian wedding I danced at in the costume I
purchased from your site. It was a great night,
everyone was so friendly and fun, and they seemed to
really enjoy my performance. Afterall, I did make
enough money in tips that night to pay for the
costume. So... now I'm eyeing the purple ones... ;-D I
hope you like the pics, there were so many good ones,
it was hard to choose just one. Feel free to do
whatever with them, they are the first pics of myself

to much for the lovely bellydance costume (blue 06). I received it in nearly
"wear it now" shape! only had to move a couple hooks and was dancing
in it that very night. This outfit has a DD size bra/ hips 38-39 inch and
I would love to buy another one in green or maybe silver in the future.

Two years ago I had a bad experience buying just two small pieces from another online vendor and it took me nearly a month to receive them and then I paid almost 50% of the product cost for shipping, so I am doubly pleased with the product and service you provide and will recommend you to other dancers in our area. Your costumes are so reasonably priced, too! Nora Thorp"~~~

Received my costume a few weeks ago!!! Been meaning to

reached a new level for me... The costume certainly
makes a huge difference in the way I feel when I
dance... So glad to have found you!!! Keep up the

~~"Hello Lila! I received the costume on Friday evening! I was surprise of the costume's shine and the lovely colour, perfect on me! And the size is perfect too, I just need to readjust the straps of the bra, that's all. I have a dark violet skirt (and a veil) that goes also well together. I will still buy strass jewelry to complete the outfit. What about the baby? I hope everything is ok. Let me know if you have a girl or a boy. I wish you all the best and hope to hear from you! We have nice and very hot weather here in Switzerland, so I send you many tropical greetings! Anita, in Switzerland :-)"~~

~~"Hi Lila,
I received the costume today. That sure was fast! I am really pleased with
it. It is really beautiful. The size is good. I need to take in the hook on
the bra because I am a size 34A.
I may need to put some padding in the inside of the cups as my cup size is
small. I don't want to spoil the material in the inside of the bra, but if I
sew some padding in the inside, do you think it will be ok? Any suggestions?
Cathy, San Francisco, California"~~

~~""Hello again, I had ordered before from you and I was absolutely thrilled with the scarf. It was purple with silver beading. I do not see it on your web page anymore but am hoping you still carry it. I lost the one I had bought. I also wish to order a few other scarves but wish to make a phone order. I live in Alaska and do not wish to disturb you as you are most likely sleeping as I type this lol. As I recall you also have a child and I understand family time as well as the need to sleep, so knowing what time is a good time to call and place an order would be much appreciated. I am looking forward to getting some more scarves from you! Thank you. Sincerely, Tristene, Alaska"~~

~~~"Dear
Lila,
What
a beautiful website you have for belly dance costumes. I
can
tell from your site that you have a great respect for the
art of belly
dancing and that is exactly what I look for in a person
who makes my
costume. Belly dancing has been a life changing and sacred
contribution to
my life. I am looking for a costume in honor of my
growth as I celebrate my
birthday. I am not surprised some of the costumes
I've been looking at were
sold as I flipped from page to page of the colors. I
skirt to hang no more than 27 inches below my hip bone
(the anterior
superior illiac crest is what I considered my hip bone,
when measuring).
I respect your work and would like to dance in it.
Blessed Be,
Zahavit"~~~
~~~"I
just have to tell you that your outfits are the most beautiful
I've seen anywhere, in person or on the net. My mouth is
just watering over everything you have to offer. I'm way
too large to wear your beautiful things (plus I'm just a
beginner), but you website has given me lost of beautiful ideas
to dream about -- maybe one day, with lots of belly dancing, I
can fit into one.
Thank you for being on the net.
Bunnie"~~~
~~~"Your
outfits are wonderful. I am a 34D with a 35" hips and
only 5' tall
...I am looking for a dark green costume. Do you have
anything like this?
Thanks so much!
Also, my friends & I are taking belly dancing lessons
and they would all
love outfits as well ... they plan on me ordering one as
the test.
Hopefully, my costume will be the first of many that will
be worn in
Colorado! :-)Teree"~~~
~~~"Hello.
