My Mission My dream is to create affordable, "couture" bellydance costumes for women of all sizes and shapes; from A-cups or less to K-cups! As a fashion designer, I can manipulate fabrics, metal, shell, glass, and bone to conform to your body type. No woman is the same, and neither should their costumes. To bring you these creations affordably, I blend both new and high-quality recycled materials. The inspiration for an entire costume or limited line of costumes may come from a single brooch, a bag of broken jewelry, or an applique from an old costume! Many of my designs will incorporate both tribal and cabaret influences either in materials or design. If you are looking for something unique--you've come to the right place. Custom orders are taken very seriously. Each of my costumes is, to me, a piece of art. Any person(s) wishing to contract custom work will have my utmost attention and I will work very hard to create something you will love forever. Because each costume is artwork, I do reserve the right to make changes to a product if it serves to make the costume more beautiful and compositionally balanced. The client will receive pictures regularly to receive input and suggestions about their desires. Each custom order will come with an initial estimate, of which the client is expected to pay 50% to fund production, and 50% after completion. |

Belly dance celebrates the beauty of the body and the emotional connection we have to music. I celebrate these aspects by creating professional-grade costumes for every belly dance style and every body type. These pictures are only a taste of the elegance and individuality that my costumes have to offer. |
