Our new Hathor Silk Brocade Lace Up Belt is so versatile. Wear it over skirts, pants, tunics or dresses. It comes in three sizes and laces up in five different places for a perfect fit!

We are absolutely in love with so many of the silk brocade patterns in our new shipment of Luna Jade Drape Harem Pants. The fabrics are so soft and comfortable and the colors and patterns are super rich. They are available in one size fits most with an elasticized back waistband.

It's been a while but our Egyptian Lace Fringe Hip Scarves are back in stock. We really appreciate all of the hard work that went into hand beading these classic scarves. Your hips will love the weight!

Excitement is so hard to contain when your new costume arrives on your doorstep, but it's even better when it fits perfectly right out of the box! Doesn't CaribbeanSoul look stunning in our Darkest Nights Egyptian Dress!

It's picture day at Rhythm in Self Expression Dance Studio! Amber Skye's students are preparing for their second performance. Don't they look great in our Nefertiti Top and Skirt set!

The St. Louis Aalim Dancers have come up with another effective way to wear our Off The Nile cold shoulder dance top. Instead of wearing it over their bust, they are wearing it under their bust as a finishing piece with their beaded bra. Congratulations ladies, you look great!

Let's go a little deeper today with our green palette in this stunning dress. There are so many great details, starting with the rhinestone encrusted appliques, n**e mesh crisscross side cutouts, dramatic open back and that sparkling glitter flared skirt. Look for it on our website by tomorrow.

This gorgeous kelly green ensemble from Egypt will be posted by tomorrow. We fell instantly in love with the design!
