As she was the First Website On the Internet: I bought my first costume from her: it is an amazing elaborate Turkish costume weighing 7 lbs. It still looks like new and I've danced in it for almost 10 years every week and more!. It has crystals when no others had until last year. The sequins are faceted and sparkling: a marvel of a creation: can't find these anymore; except just a few left on her site. I've got to say: it's hard to beat her quality< she is the first and the first designer to set the stage for quality: she is a visionary ahead of her time. A quiet Harvard Graduate, but hey, her talents show in her costumes and what she did to the belly dance world waaay before shakira! Hooray Lila's bellydancecostumes.com:dance:
