I imagine dancers asking themselves why they make fresh EVERY SHOW, mid-toe cramp, pinching with their right hand to shake out the left hand. Here’s the answer. You don’t have to. I’ve made these same hip heis for dancers ALL OVER THE WORLD for almost 20 years! My personal one is over 30 years old and still looks as good as day one. Big groups use em… small groups use em… soloists… maybe it’s time! And yes, I can make it for you or I have the leaves and you can make it. I gotchu!

So bitter-sweet… aging. I like to reflect on past costumes when I’m sewing pieces…and there are SO MANY! I used to be able to pop these out in like 15min. Group orders, no problem. Rush orders… bring it on! Made this last night… yes, through the pain. Ughhh. I figure when it hurts TOO much, I’ll be forced to stop. My hope is this… I hope all of the mana I shared through all of the costumes helped create core memories that will be shared for generations to come. I wish I had like a reel of all the costumes I sent out into the world. That would be DOPE! I KNOW I don’t remember all of them. There’s no way.

AUNTIE BEING TRANSPARENT… Unfortunately, for no known reason, ETSY shipping jumped up overnight! I cannot, as a small business, afford to eat this price difference. I cannot encourage everyone enough to order through the main website. Not only would you save on most of the items themselves, but also combined shipping AND, if you’re outside of California, you won’t be charged the sales tax. Etsy is a big business and has to submit sales tax for every sale regardless of where it is sold. That adds up so quick!!! Hope this helps keep money in your pocket or allows you to spend your hard earned moolah on better things than shipping and taxes.
