Brighton Orient is proud to present designer Maayan Aviram’s unique haute couture designs as the jewel in the crown of the UK’s greatest salon collection of designer cabaret belly dance costumes, accessories and dance wear essentials.

Madame Maayan has built her reputation on her stringent quest for the highest standards in an industry that can fall short on quality, travelling to Egypt four times a year to work in collaboration with top Middle Eastern designers and to explore her own design creativity hand in hand with top class suppliers.

Her spectacular one-off couture cabaret costumes are worn by world class stars, including Natacha Atlas, Artemisia and Aziza.

As a dancer, you may be in beginning classes and in need of a simple coin belt, or recognising that the right costume will power your performance.  Or you may be contemplating a professional career in belly dance, in which case you will need to carefully increase your wardrobe with quality pieces.

Madame Maayan works personally with each customer to ensure that the costume you choose – ranging from her exquisite couture designs to the prettiest of skirts, tops and belts – will complement both your figure and personal style to perfection.

An expert seamstress is always on hand by appointment to ensure perfect fit.

If visiting the salon is not practical, you can choose a costume online at Brightonorient.com.  All you need to do is to take your bust and outside leg measurements, from hipline to ankle.  Alterations are standard practise and if you mark the alterations carefully and post the costume back, this is readily achieved.

A wide range of accessories is also available online.

We are happy to collect you, by prior arrangement, from East Grinstead, Haywards Heath or Three Bridges train stations.

Best dancing wishes from the team at Brighton Orient.
