I have translucent wings that I bought from bellydancewithk.com and I love them. I have seen the lame wings but they seemed a bit too shiney for my taste. I belive the M/L sizes refers to the length of the wings. I am a tiny dancer (like Elton's song) at 5'2" and my wings are just barely too big. I think M sized wings are best for 5'5" and up and L size wings are for real tall girls. I could be wrong. If you want to hem your wings you should probably use a serger instead of a rolled hem with a sewing machine, this will keep your wing light and airy and not weigh it down when you dance.
