The belt is 42-3/4 inches long, but fits smaller hips easily just by overlapping the back strap. But it will fit larger
hips, too (**see note about sizing at bottom of page). The bra top fits a B, C, or D cup (the D probably showing
lots of cleavage). The under bust measurement is 38 inches.

About the UNDER-BUST measurement: The under-bust measurement is the total inches of the back straps and under
the bra cups. Do not confuse it with your bra size! For example, depending on the bra manufacturer, I wear either a 34 or 36B
bra. But my under-bust measurement for costume purposes is 29 inches. So don't think that because a costume's under-bust
does not match your bra size that it doesn't fit. This costume's back straps OVERLAP. You just move the bra hook on the
back strap to adjust it to your size. Measure underneath your breasts and around to get your under-bust measurement. You'll
find your under-bust measurement is smaller than your "bra size". *see note at bottom for more details about sizing.

**Note About Sizing:
I choose costumes carefully and focus on 2 things:
1) The cups are adaptable to fit a range of cup sizes as opposed to just ONE size (such as AA, A, B, C, or D).
Instead, I look for cups that will fit both an A and B, or a B and a C. Some times I find cups that, because of the
design, or with some padding, will fit an A, B or C. When you receive your costume, check first to see if the
cup size will work for you. If it does not, return the costume immediately to get your refund.
2) I choose hip bands that are adaptable by simply placing the hooks where you want so you can make it
smaller or larger depending on your hip size. (hooks are included in your package, but not sewn on to the
costume--this is done purposely so that you can make it fit your exact size). The belt can fit even larger hips
than the measurement stated just by placing the belt up higher towards the waist as opposed to riding very low
on the hips. Take your hip measurement where you will actually "wear" the hip belt--usually its somewhere
between your waist and your hip measurement--therefore a 39" belt can actually accommodate much larger
"hips" because it is worn more under the waistline instead of exactly at the largest part of your hips.
The main concern is that the bra cups and belt fit. Straps are usually easy to adjust and I choose lengthy straps
as opposed to short ones. Adding to a strap is difficult, but to shorten a strap is usually easier, or you can
make it a halter.
Do not make any alterations until you decide to keep the costume--you will not be refunded once you
have made alterations.

SUHAIR
| Beautiful sequins of emerald green, teal, aquamarine, sky blue, and turquoise with a few in rose and gold to give dazzle make a stunning color effect. The bra has beaded fringe set on the diagonal with tear drop beads on the end of each strand. The diagonal makes the top very flattering. The straps, bra and belt are bordered in seed beads and sequins. The hip band also has beaded fringe with tear drop ends set on the diagonal. There are 3 rows of beaded fringe on the front of the hip band as well as the back. |

FUN FACTS: Suhair Zaki was what is called a natural baladi dancer. She was from a small village and
had little education. She moved to Cairo at an early age where she earned her living as a Mohammad Ali
Street wedding dancer. Eventually she danced at nightclubs. It was her unique baladi dancing that
made her become so well loved. She is still considered by most Egyptians to be one of the best dancers
of all time. One important factor that helped make her so well loved was that she chose to dance to the
music of Um Kholsoum. The average Egyptian found it difficult to dance to Um Kholsoum’s music, so
her dancing was considered very special. She eventually did movies and this, too, helped her become
so well loved.
