Bottom : 2 layers of chiffon.

Lavender pants in picture: 2 layers of chiffon, from half circle (not as wide) decorations on
bottom.
Teal pants: 2 layers of chiffon from whole circle - wider, fuller and looks even more like a skirt.

Pants + armbands: $75

Sheer circle skirt


Styles:
1 whole circle chiffon circle skirt - with 1, 2 or no slits at sides
1 whole circle chiffon circle skirt, 2 layers - with 1, 2 or no slits at sides
1 1/2 circle chiffon skirt - 2 slits at sides, 1/2 circle in front, whole circle in back.

Examples:
Red skirts: goergette, 2 slits at sides, 1 whole circle. (georgette is not as sheer as chiffon, so you
don't need to add another skirt or pants)
Steel blue: 2 skirts of 1 1/2 half circle, , one slightly shorter than other, tucked in at sides.
Orange/fucia: same as above.
Having 2 skirts of 1 1/2 circle is great because you can create really nice costumes with several
skirts sets and just one bra and belt.  I had orange and fucia skirts, orange and fucia sleeves
and orange and fucia veils.
One time I wore orange on top, fucia on bottom with fucia sleeves and orange veil.
Next time I switched to fucia on top, orange on bottom, with orange sleeves and veil (as shown in
the picture)
Purple: 1 1/2 circle chiffon skirt worn with harem pants under, and skirt tucked in at sides.

1 whole circle - 1 layer: $40
1 whole circle - 2 layers $60
1 1/2 circle - $75
add sleeves for $10
add veil for $25

Marianna will never copy another costume, instead she'll make it unique with
some similarities. She does not use beads that will peel off, only glass
(occasional plastic non-peeling, solid beads are used). Only real rhinestones
and crystals, no plastics. No glue, only sew on or prong settings.
Bras are well constructed, sturdy, hard cup bras with proper hooks and lining.
Belts are made to fit a women's body and not a mannequin's.


Email for quote - price depends on type of fabric, amount of beads, rhinestones
as well as amount of work (beading and hand sewing) involved.
Affordable prices and you definitely don't need to wait for 4-6 months.
Costumes are usually done within 4-6 weeks. If not done within the promised
time, discount will be given off of price.

Custom order double veils (a cross over between double veils and wings)
Each veil is 2.5 yards tissue lame. At one end of each veil there is a casing with
wooden sticks inserted.

$50 / set of 2 veils (2.5 yards)
$55 / set of 2 veils (3 yards)
$70 / set of 3 veils (2.5 yards) - you can add even more excitement with 3 veils!

Please specify the colors you would like, but please keep in mind:
- it's best to choose 2 shades that are close to each other, for example red + orange,
light green+dark green, etc.
- it's nice if the veils match your costume, but it's not necessary.
- you can choose 2 of the same colors, but different shades really do add more.
- you can email a picture, and suggestions will be mailed for best colors.

This video illustrates SOME of the movements you are able to do but there's a lot more
room for creativity. Also by adding a third veil you add more variety and possibilities.
This is similar to Isis Wings but it allows a lot more freedom. With your purchase
Marianna will include suggestions of movements / technique in how to dance with these
as well as answer any questions you have.
Items are made for you and are usually shipped within a few days of receiving
payment. This may be delayed if you are requesting a color that is hard to find, or
currently out of stock (not very likely, but possible).
More coming !   Check back soon!
