c1017 Black Stretch with Multi Metallic Design, Crystal Jewelry, Pro Belly Dance Costume $315 Helpful And Important! Please read Info and FAQ's to the right --> IN ENTIRETY before emailing/calling with ?'s. 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. 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. Made in Egypt. Beautiful, well made costume, very high quality in tailoring and beadwork. Black but not black! Has elegance any black costume does, but plenty of color to keep it exciting. Stretch lightweight lycra (lightweight is a positive in this case due to the large amount of fabric in skirt), black with a multi color metallic overlay pattern, fairly large scale floral-ish outlines. Doesn't really read as "flowery," just that there is color there. Skirt is lovely fit to flare, has four gores (sections) plus two large triangular insets so bottom of skirt is very full. No slits. Elongated oval openings over hips, not too large, have two lattice X's with large crystal rhinestone squares. Beadwork is rich and full. Large gold glass seed beads in tightly looping 3d outlines, sequin fills (the the glass bead "outlines" actually cover more area than the sequins) of holographic fuschia and green with silver and gold mixed in; accent beads of large iridescent acrylic squares and globes. Skirt has half a dozen 3/4" round acrylic crystal stones, bra has four plus a bit of rhinestone accent strands. Plenty of fringe accents in hip beadwork (double strands of large gold glass seed beads tipped with lovely glass green moonstone cylinders, clear fuschia faceted acrylics, faceted gold metallics. Center swatch of same fringe on Bra. Bra is a halter strap style, with elastic back straps. Skirt has short back center zipper. Accessories: Matching beaded gauntlets (gloves) and soft headband. Age/Condition: New. Sizing: > Click For "How to Buy a Costume that Fits", explanation of my sizing, how to apply it to you, also some tips on altering. VERY HELPFUL DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL ME WITH SIZE QUESTIONS OF ANY KIND UNTIL YOU HAVE 1) READ THE LINKED PAGE ABOVE (How to Buy A Costume that Fits), 2) READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION OF THIS COSTUME INCLUDING NOTES GIVEN WITH THE SIZES, 3) TAKEN YOUR MEASUREMENTS NOW AND CAREFULLY COMPARED THEM TO MEASUREMENTS GIVEN FOR COSTUME IN QUESTION. Please! I'm overwhelmed with emails/calls, which keeps me from posting new costumes! It may be hard to believe, but many, many questions are answered by taking a little time to do this -- even if you think you understand my measurements and/or know yours. Even if you are totally confused (or only know your size in a non-US format - page gives help converting). If you still have questions after that, I'll be delighted to answer them (please email vs. phone if you can -- love to talk to customers, but much easier for me to answer emails quickly) . Thank you VERY much, I greatly appreciate it! - K
Bra - 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 (cups prob. need to be closer; ez on this bra), 36 widish B/C, somewhat narrow A+/B. Cups are medium depth, not tall, and somewhat wide-set. At the large end of the range (38 B, a large 36 C), this will start looking like a demi-bra. It has the right shape and I believe will give "frontage" cover if you don't mind a demi look (more of top of bust showing), but at those extremes and possibly a little larger you and the bra are going to have to match well, and fiddling will be involved. Max underbust = 32". Technically this is not long enough for a 36 C or 38 A/B (though I'm a 36 B+/C and I had it on no problem, that's me modeling). The back straps are elastic and at 32" is going to be pretty snug. Very simple to extend; at the connecting ends they are fabric covered 1" elastic. Just make a black fabric sleeve for appropriate length of elastic and stitch on to one of the ends, taking the fastener and moving it onto your extension. No one will notice or care that it's black instead of black with a pattern. Skirt Top: Smallest body will reasonably fit approximately = 34", largest body will reasonably fit approximately = 39". Has no elastic and definitely will need it, I believe even for larger sizes, due to weight of beadwork. See easy tip here. Skirt Hips: Smallest body will reasonably fit approximately = 37", largest body will reasonably fit approximately = 42". Skirt length: 39".
