Please note that this year, in light of the fluctuations in prices (we have also detected price decreases at some suppliers) which were mainly due to the 'Iron Swords' war and the economic situation affected by it, in light of the fact that not all websites from abroad ship to Israel (even those that state that they do until the moment of purchase) And in light of the national mood that has not yet returned to us - you may find in the local costume market what your soul desires at a reasonable price.
Before purchasing on websites from abroad, it is worth doing the test at the same time on local websites of suppliers and manufacturers of costumes in Israel.
