Description
Our Black & Silver Assuit Skirt features multiple tiers of decadent block printed fabric. You can see the original stamping of the block print process in the slight variations within each pattern. A true work of art!
The fabric is soft to touch and extra fluffy. A slight metallic sheen to Assuit inspired block print adds depth and dimension. You can expect this skirt to respond to all your dance movements, accentuating your shimmies and hip bounces with ease! Trim fabric at bottom can vary slightly from batch to batch.
Dry clean only.
More About Our Black & Silver Assuit Skirt
Fabric & Construction:
Premium quality cotton fabric for the body of the skirt feels soft to the touch. High quality construction with professionally finished interior seams. Light and bouncy fabric accents a dancer’s movements.
The traditional block printing on this skirt has a slight sparkle/sheen. The pattern is inspired by traditional Assuit fabric (also known as Tulle bi telli). The Assuit fabric have long been loved by belly dancers near and far and have been featured in classic Hollywood films, such as Cleopatra and Samson & Delilah.
Yardage:
When available choose from our ultra full 25 yard or our super deluxe 35 yard versions! Both versions are incredibly full and can be used for many styles of dance. The 35 yard versions tend to be a bit fuller, but, heavier. The 25 yard versions look almost as full as their 35 yard counterparts but because it’s a little less fabric, they are a little lighter. Both versions are used by professionals and students alike. It’s a bit more of a personal preference as to which version suits each dance company. We intermix the 25 yard and 35 yard versions when we perform. Some dancers have told us they can’t tell the difference between the two versions.
Sizing:
Skirt length is 36″ long from top of waistband to bottom hem of skirt. Other lengths can be special ordered.
Comfortably loose elastic and drawstring waist helps reduce pinched look (aka muffin top) at waist. Drawstring allows waist to cinch down to about about 18″ and elastic can give to about 60″.
Fullness of skirt allows for hips up to 100″.
Care:
Dry clean only. Do not water wash.
