I could be wrong about the manufacturer of the tops.

They were tank style and they looked really small and they had L tags on them. They may not have been from Sharifwear, but I know that the vendor does business with Sharifwear, so I just assumed.

PS The pants seemed really large to me too. I thought I wore an L, but the vendor told me to look at M, but she had none in stock. All were Ls up to 3XLs.

I am a size 10-12 and 5ft 6, the small trousers only just fit me, they were ok, but not long enough, so I had to go for medium to get the lengh. I had a top with the the studded Bellydancer logo on it too, which was one size fits all but it kept rolling up my tummy and it annoyed me, think it was the material!

I did buy a tank top from the same place I bought the bellyrina pants, which looks exactly the same as the ones on Sharifwear. It Says I love belly dancing. I got an XL and it is too short, if I stand still it stays down but move and it rides up. Maybe all these tops are too short, they just increase the width a bit. The pants are a super fit.

A friend has a similar tank top from Dancing Rahana, and she has the same problem with her top - the riding up business. A bit of a shame really as they are cute tops.

But, aren't our bellies supposed to show ;-)? Just kidding.

I don't know how far they ride up, but I know is my friend is the same circumference as my 10 year old niece (quite thin and small for her age is what her mother keeps telling me) and she said the top was too small for her.

One of the things I like about mine is that it rides up. It is true they do ride up, and I am not large or tiny.
