If you are currently shopping for an assiut robe. I have just a few tips that can make the process go more smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Research and Set your Budget:<\/strong>\u00a0 Once you&#8217;ve decided to purchase a robe, take some time to do some research. Window-shop to get a sense of what&#8217;s currently being made in Egypt, identify dealers who are active in the market, and learn what the going prices are for different kinds of pieces.\u00a0 Then set a budget for your project and have that cash ready when you spot the assuit robe of your dreams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know Your Measurements:<\/strong>\u00a0 Assiut robes are hand-crafted and vary wildly in width and length. Take your measurements and know what your widest circumference and your preferred length. When you are shopping, be sure to check the measurements, and ask the dealer for size details if you can&#8217;t spot them in the listing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Flexible with Color and Size:<\/strong> The assiut market is very volatile. Sometimes there are lots of options. Sometimes there are few available for sale. Be patient and allow yourself plenty of time prior to an event to allow for the hunt, shipping, and alterations when it arrives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support your Favorite Belly Dance Dealers:<\/strong> Although assiut is made in Egypt, there are many dealers in the US that have pieces on hand. Buying from a US dealer supports a belly dance business and our community as a whole.\u00a0 Shipping times within the US are also much quicker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look Regularly on Etsy and Ebay:<\/strong> Because assiut robes can be difficult to source, it pays to window shop frequently. I encourage shoppers to make friends with dealers so they will be on the hunt for the color and style you&#8217;re looking for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking for more assiut shopping tips? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2022\/06\/shopping-for-assiut-on-a-budget\/\">Check out this article:<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Gathering Supplies<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\">So here is a links list to the items I use when sewing rhinestone chain onto assiut.
