SOLD Made in Egypt.
Beautiful stretch fabric, rich color I'm not sure what the official name of would be: not magenta, which is redder than this; not wine, the same.. it's a deep rose/a little purple/berry/deep pink???? with same color metallic overlay (tiny closely spaced dots). All the HP Series' costumes standout quality (see above). You can see how much beadwork there is, over entire skirt. Soft mesh covered cutouts on both sides of skirt, over-leg slit. Three gigantic (1-1/8") AB crystals, two on bra and one skirt center, plus ample use of 1/4" and 5/8" crystals (all real glass) on bra and in hip beadwork. Short delicate fringe accents in hip beadwork, two strands, beautiful beads including iridescent clear purple acrylic rounds, shaped beads with foil insets (look like tiny rhinestones), faceted acrylics.
Please feel free to contact me (K) if you have any additional questions.

There are no more of this exact costume in stock. COMING SOON (but not now, please don't ask!), certain (not all) costumes WILL be custom-orderable indivdually. When that is possible, there will be PLENTY of notices here on the web site, you won't miss it. I'm not sure exactly when this will be put into operation. Please WAIT for notices on the site saying it is possible before asking ANYTHING about 'custom ordering' (I just don't have any info on it now), until then NO COSTUME, INCLUDING THIS ONE, CAN BE ORDERED - IT IS NOT ORDERABLE AT THIS TIME
If large version photos don't seem very large, especially the detail, which should be pretty gigantic, you may need to do this (applies to Internet Explorer (IE) only): Click the "Tools" menu at the top of the IE window. Click "Internet Options". Click the "Advanced" tab. You'll see a "Settings" list of items you can check or uncheck. Scroll down until you see the heading "Multimedia." There should be a checkbox setting something along the lines of "enable automatic image resizing." You DON'T want automatic image resizing, so uncheck the box if it's checked. CLick the "OK" button. "Automatic image resizing" takes images IE considers too big and makes them smaller, so you never are sure if you are seeing an image at the size the website author intended. Turning off "automatic image resizing" simply means you will see all images at their "real" sizes, it will not affect anything else.
A general statement about HP series costumes: these are truly works of art and outstanding craftmanship,
extremely high quality work and attention to detail. I've been almost overwhelmed to tears at how well they are made (less work for me!). The prices on these are frankly misleading; compared to what else is on the market I feel I could easily charge at least $50 - $100 more for these and you would still be getting a solid deal -- but her prices are reasonable, the makers believe dancers shouldn't have to mortgage their homes for quality professional costumes, and I'm overjoyed to be able to pass that on. A few points: only high quality fabrics; only REAL GLASS crystal stones, and AMPLE use of them; high quality beads without over use of plastic or acrylic, and when acrylic novelty beads are used (as on most high end costumes, for example, in the fringe) they are lovely and high quality; only heavy weight thread is used for beadwork, never doubled or quadrupled 'normal' weight sewing thread; the finishing of the beadwork itself is impeccable - every end is cleanly knotted, there are no long threads hanging loose - the inside of the costume is probably as neat and clean as you will ever see!

- Brief Explanation of notations used below.
- Underbust measurements are NOT a good way to judge bra fit, please read this (short).
Should fit range including: wide 34 C+/D/small DD (wide in both cleavage and toward underarms, I'd guess; simple to tilt this shape of cups together to completely solve); 36 B/C, 38 B. Max underbust = 36.5."
