SOLD Made in Egypt.
Brief description, check the close up detail to see beadwork and don't hesitate to email ( info(at)bellydancewithk(d0t)com ) if you have questions. Rich, almost but not quite fuschia pink, high quality lycra. Zaki-esque beadwork, using large high quality acrylic beads. Two lovely, large glass rhinestone jewelery pieces at bra center, and above over-leg slit, 'fastening' a long fabric accent, two pieces, hanging over leg slit. Spectacular fringe is tumbled (smooth edged) glass Egyptian bugle beads, silver, tipped with beautiful high quality acrylic beads: marbelized purple teardrops, clear pink faceted rounds with "floating" inner pink bead, fuschia faceted rounds. Swags around hips of same beads, also fill on bra cups. Tailoring of hip fabric is gorgeous; relaxed horizontal ruching all around back, gathers to a faux tied-scarf look in front. Back Zipper. Skirt hem, slit, and edges of hanging fabric over slit edged in looping glass bead and sequin trim.
Note: yes, one of the back swags seems to be a little longer than the other -- Zaki costumes tend to be assymetrical so could be purposeful. If you don't like it, simple enough to snip and remove a few beads, re attach (just three swags in one spot).
Accessories: Long gauntlets.
Age/Condition: New.

Skirt Top: Smallest body will reasonably fit approximately = 32," largest body will reasonably fit approximately = 39."
Skirt Hips at widest: Smallest body will reasonably fit approximately = 34," largest body will reasonably fit approximately = 42."

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!
