Welcome WILD WOMEN... You've found catsprite's Tiendaholics, home of the YUMMIEST clothes on the planet! I have hundreds of BRAND NEW unique and gorgeous global boutique garments in stock including this FABULOUS fringed two-layered goddess dress in DELICIOUSLY SOFT authentic Moroccan susti!
This beauty SHOULD fit and look fabulous on sizes small to 2X, possibly 3X, but PLEASE note my "recommended sizes" are based on the measurements listed in my sizing chart ... check your measurements and don't hesitate to email me if you need sizing assistance!
CATSPRITE'S QUALITY GUARANTEE:
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Everything I offer is "factory fresh", direct from the manufacturer, not off store racks shoppers have picked over or tried on countless times—that seems more like "used with tags," doesn't it? When I say "brand new" I mean just that. You will not find items from "quick sale" racks and bins, no "seconds" or shopper rejects. And if something will make you look more like a clown than a goddess, I won't sell it. It's simply this: if it's been previously worn by anyone, or will make you look and feel anything less than the fabulous goddess you are, you won't see it here. Period.
New to Moroccan clothing? The luxurious susdi (susti) fabric is just one of the many exquisite features of this impossibly soft dress! It's crafted exclusively in Morocco, the y-u-m-m-I-e-s-t natural cotton/rayon blend that I call the cashmere of cottons... hundreds of Tiendaholics agree! Once you experience this scrumptious, breathable natural fabric, you'll know exactly why we love it!
This gorgeous two-layered dress is in true ethnic style, evoking traditional North African, Middle East, and Mediterranean garments—it's part gandourah, part thobe, part caftan, part djellaba...even part burnouse! It's designed for goddesses of every culture with the swing of a belly dancer and the elegance of evening wear. And the details are fantastic: this style, the JADIDA, has 12"-deep side pockets, MILES of flowy fabric, 7" hand twisted and knotted fringe... and the whole thing drapes and flutters like a gypsy dream on so many shapes and sizes!
Just how do you make your own magic with it? There is a sensational SECOND LAYER that can be styled in a gazillion different ways! We've demonstrated a few (see photos below and in my other MAGIC DRESS listings!)—I'm dying to see what you come up with! You can toss one side or the other of the top layer over either shoulder, or both (there are buttons and loops to secure it); attach the bottom corner on one side to the shoulder of the other; you can flip the back over your head and/or shoulders like a burnoose or ruana; or slip some of the under layer through the 13" open slits on the sides of the top layer; and creative pinning with your favorite brooch can add even more possibilities...
Oh, it's hard to explain but you'll see when you slip this beauty on! There are also a few hidden treasures like a touch of trapunto and so on... I'll let you discover them for yourself!
Hmmm, how many ways did I say this could be worn? The possibilities seem as endless as the 200" hemline... or as your own creativity!!
And the handmade quality of this sensational fabric is superior, rich, and luxurious. So you can save this dress to wear for special events—it's perfectly elegant with the right accessories—but it's so scrumptious, you'll find ways to dress it down to wear more often! It's fantastic with tribal jewelry—wood, bone, chunky stones—and the array of OMIGOD-gorgeous colors will easily blend into your already fabulous susti wardrobe. I often say it, but this will truly make you feel like you're in a Moroccan bazaar, Middle-Earth, or your wildest exotic dreams!
Let your inner goddess frolic every day... WHY NOT?!
CATSPRITE'S GUIDE TO THE CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR NEW YUMMIES!
For all garments—whether made in Morocco, India, Bali, by Tienda Ho or Dairi—like all your favorite things, wash on LOW or GENTLE in cold water only and hang to dry. Your dryer is a brutal and unforgiving demon that steals the life of your clothes with every cycle! Air cycle only, if you must, but NEVER run ANYTHING delicate or precious on heat. Just 15 minutes in that harsh environment can take up to 10 wearings away from you as the fibers break down and the colors fade and mute. Because susti is made from 100% natural fibers it is highly absorbent—the dyes will last for years, even decades, if you treat them right.
The beauty and fun of most other ethnic (non-susti) garments I offer lie in the many fabrics used in a single piece. This means more seams (weak points), and a variety of weights and weaves. The more distress, the more fragile they becomes. On India styles, shisha mirrors take a terrible beating after a while if washed at normal speed and especially when thrashing about in the dryer.
Love your clothes and you'll look gorgeous in them much, much longer!
Are you petite? I'm just barely 5'2" and most of the pants, skirts and Magic dresses in these collections are too long for me. But you can "control-shrink" susti... email me for details and I will send instructions with purchase.

If they appear substantially in the garment, I will note in the description.)
