I've never met Meissoun, but I love her!  Check out this website if you are planning on traveling to Istanbul.  She has a thorough write up of where to shop, where to catch a show, etc.  She even created a Google Map for your convenience.

While in Istanbul in 2009, I bought two stunning costumes from Sim Moda.

If you find yourself in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and are in the market for hip scarves, gorgeous caftans, and affordable costumes you must check out Bazaar Alibaba.  Riza will make you a great deal.  Don't bother shopping anywhere else. Really!
