Dana is a wonderful performer and great friend. She gave a smashing performance at Hips of Fury last night in Palmdale and I just want to thank her for the wonderful effort she puts into her personal performance as well as her troupe leadership!

I just want to publicly thank Dana for welcoming me to the world of belly dance by making my first choli, fringe-belt, cowries, and hair falls, which I was proud to wear at my first performance at the fair! Her work is top-quality & awesome and her kindness and warmth is rare.

Thanks, Dana, for making me feel so welcome & for creating my first costume :)

I would absolutely recommend that someone in the maket for her kind of gorgeous work go to Dana before even thinking about going to someone else. She has the most amazing belts ever! Her prices are fair, and her amount of attention to each individual project is unlike any other. I doubt most of the people on ebay would be patient enough to make all sorts of color charts so you could see if your choices would look good together. I have never bought a fringe belt before, or any custom bellydance piece, and I am eternally grateful that Dana has been my first experience in this. She is awesome!

For all those out there looking for quality, affordable and beautifully unique custom made crochet belts and yarn hair falls, I recommend Desert Lotus.
Dana, the artist and creator of these costume pieces is not only a reliable, dedicated, quality crafts-woman, but also a friendly and talented dancer. When I placed my initial order, I didn't realize how helpful and genuinely caring she would be concerning getting me exactly what I wanted.
She made me my base belt with fringe for my FOREST costume; which can be seen in its early stages in photos here, but also in completion in my profle. I was so pleased with her work and professionalism that I decided to ask her to become a partner supplier for Synari designs; my own costuming business.

I am blessed to have found her; as a wonderful friend as well as a craftswoman and dancer. She truly is inspiring and I HIGHLY recommend her for your costuming needs. I would be honored to one day meet with her in person and dance together.
