open front cover up?

[Ariella]

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I'm trying to track down a cover up that can open in the front. I've made myself some simple cover ups but I'd like something a bit more elegant looking. It seems like most cover ups on belly dance web sites are not open front. I've also tried googling "kaftan/caftan" and "abaya" and found that the kaftans don't open in the front and the abayas tend to be plain. Where did you get your cover up from? Any other tips?

Cheers,
Ariella

Our troupe has beautiful cover ups that actually button up in the front. I cant remember the website we bought them from yet but I'll ask the girls tomorrow and get back to you on it.

I've seen dancers use kimonos and they came to the knee. They were gorgeous but I can't find a website either.

Thank you ladies, either of those sound perfect! If you recall or find out the web site let me know.

Craft India :: Craft India Overseas :: is the place we bought our stuff from. You have to make an account to see their products. You don't need to put a visa number in or anything though.

If you go to http://www.bellydanceforums.net/dance-costumes/14406-cover-up-preferences.html thread we were talking about cover-up preferences and I mentioned I like a Moroccan dress which is on ebay, well I have purchased one in red and will be cutting it through the middle and putting some sort of closures on it, there is a pic of the dress in that thread. It is very luxurious looking.
