c0935 Teal Metallic Weave in Black Belly Dance Costume with Crystals, Front Drape $385
SOLD
Like most of the costumes on this site, this was a one-of-a-kind piece hand crafted by an Egyptian artisan. THIS COSTUME CAN NOT BE ORDERED. Will there be more? Individual artisans will occasionally repeat designs, but never exactly and rarely in the same color. It's impossible to say if or when these will show up or in what size or color. YOU CAN'T ORDER THIS COSTUME. Thank you.
Made in Egypt. Gorgeous. Lightweight stretch fabric, black with dark teal metallic weave; teal shows up more in person than in photos. Beadwork outlines: silver glass seed, twisted bugles, large seed. Sequin fills in many greens and variations. About 10 5/8" real glass flat top crystals throughout all beadwork, drape has half dozen 1/2" starburst crystals if not glass very high quality acrylic. Long single strand fringe accents of silver glass seed beads, silver metallics, tipped with beautiful large (1-1/4") faceted clear blue acrylic (not plastic) teardrops in all beadwork including down drape & sides of slit, around hem (they hang down a little below hem).
Bra is halter, sort of medium as far as whether upright or horizontal. Not a real tall cup with steep plunge, but definitely not bandeau-ey. Medium depth.
Skirt is fitted in hips, fairly quickly opens out to modeate flair. Very high front slit (beautifully and heavily beaded down sides) kept quite modest by gorgeously beaded drape. Drape is essentially triangular, about 2' across bottom. Hangs from a ring attatched to short vertical section, sewn to skirt, of stomach strap. Drape is quite heavy, and I would at least put some reinforcement inside behind ring and sew the ring itself down, along with reinforcing skirt top with elastic. Stomach strap vertical piece rises about an inch from skirt top, horizontal straps extend from there.
Accessories: Matching beaded gauntlets and headband.
Sizing:
> Click For explanation of sizing, how to apply it to you, also some tips on altering. VERY HELPFUL

Skirt Top: Approx. smallest will fit nicely (smaller can wear it, but will start swimming) = 30", stretches to 35". Has no elastic. Will fit several inches smaller with elastic added. ABSOLUTELY will need elastic for ALL sizes due to weight of skirt and light-weight-ness of fabric; fabric will not hold up on it's own. See easy tip here.

Skirt length: 36"

Helpful Info & FAQ's (below)
Know you want it? Make sure you get it by "Expedited Ordering" - immediately send payment for merchandise amount only and it's yours. You'll then owe for shipping. PLEASE do NOT add extra or try to estimate shipping cost. Read "How To Order" for details, obligations.
Until further notice, processing time (time until your order is shipped) may be from 1 up to 12 business days.

If any question arises, the person who pays at least the merchandise price in full for the costume gets the costume (must follow up with shipping payment, if paying separately). Asking for shipping cost or asking for a costume to be held or promising you're going to pay do not hold a costume.
Email inquiries if possible and appropriate, it is much easier for me to quickly answer emails vs. phone calls. Please include both the number and the NAME of the costume you are asking about. Don't forget your ZIP CODE (just your city won't do it) if you want shipping cost.
