Ordering from Bella

[BellaBohemian]

Hey everyone,
I have never ordered a custom dance set before. So I have a few questions about the actual ordering process to Bella's since I have seen that a few of you have experience ordering from her. (Oh I should mention that yes I have my password already.)

♪ Does language seem to pose a problem?
♪ About how much should I expect to pay for shipping?
♪ She has a gallery of designs that you can have custom made, what if you want to alter one of those designs? (like remove the fabric on the side or make the belt shorter/longer, etc.) And what if you want something completely different made?
♪ She seems to sell things in large bundles, will she send only a bra and belt set? How about a bra, belt and skirt set?
♪ I have heard that its best to give her only the bare essence of what you want and let her design it from there, have you done this or is it better to tell her exactly what you want?
♪ Have you ever had issues with a costume? (like has the skirt fabric been very staticy making it hard to dance comfortably)
♪ Have you ever had a bad experience with shipping where in the costume arrives and beads are falling off from bad packaging?

Any other helpful tips are most welcome!!!

I have never purchased from Bella, but heaps of dancers do and as far as I can tell their is very few problems with language. She also seems to be happy to change things on costumes or even make something to a dancers design, Shipping cost doesn't seem to be a big issue from what i can gather so she must be pretty reasonable, and I doubt that a Bella would have beads falling off.

Everyone who buys Bella's always seem to be over the moon about them & generally go back for more.

Thank you! I think ultimately my biggest concern is language. Im pretty sure Im just paranoid and obsessing a little too much over it. :lol:

The quality of a Bella is amazing, so wouldn't worry about that. I can't remember who it was, but someone here on OD once explained to me how to order a custom made costume. She made an email for Bella with pictures and drawings of what she wanted in a costume. For example a picture of what shape the skirt has to be, pictures of custume parts she liked and wanted in that shape, materials, colors, stones etc. She said if you make a really detailed email it will go fine.
