"Hi Faye!
I was checking out your website and thought I ought to send you an updated (and better) photo of the lovely costume I bought from you! Feel free to take any you like - I think these phtos really show off the gorgeous beadwork!
It is hard to believe this costume is 2 years old and gets worn at least every other weekend ( I rotate it with 4 other costumes) thanks again for carrying such high quality costumes!"

"I received my Lava FanVeil late yesterday! I am so excited! It is fabulous! I must have played around with it for over an hour last night. I was able to do many different things with it. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Much thanks and I will keep in touch. Maybe I can order one of each color in the future. I believe it will be a lovely addition to the dance.
      Very pleased,"

My belly dance friends and I designate special Originales by Faye savings accounts and look forward to shopping with her whenever possible. Faye carefully chooses her merchandise and makes sure its of the highest quality, and she keeps her prices reasonable. She brings delightful and surprising items, as well as those fulfilling the basic needs of the belly dancer (fancy costumes, music, swords)... She sells items that appeal to dancers of different styles and tastes and sizes. We love her! She's both friendly and professional, and lots of fun.
