c0787 Red Lycra with Mesh Insets, Shirred Bra, Crystals $415
SALE $380
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. A true red, this costume is bound to turn heads. The shirring underneath the bra gives it a classic touch, hearkening back to Samia Gamal's costumes from the 1940s. The bra is also covered with crystals surrounded by rhinestones. TEN 7/16" true glass crystals, plus many smaller acrylic crystals.
A large mesh inset over right upper back and midriff trails down over the right hip and across the legs to stop at hemline near the left ankle. Beadwork on the mesh area keeps it from being too revealing. The skirt features a unique mesh gore at the center back, giving the dress a light train-like effect which is very elegant.
There is a lot of beadwork on this costume. Primary beads include gold glass twisted bugle beads (these are very reflective and shiny) and red and gold glass seed beads. Primary sequins used are standard red, clear irridescent reds and ambers. The front hip area features three groupings of high quality, crisp and clear irridescent acrylic gems that are 3/16" by 3/8" and a deep rose in color, surrounded by rhinestones. The hip area also has 3"-long pieces of custom fringe using glass seed beads, glass square cut bugle beads, round acrylic beads, and faceted irridescent acrylic teardrops.
The bra closes halter style behind the neck and around the back with two embellished straps. The dress itself dips down to a low back, closing with a zipper.
Accessories: Three cuffs, all wrist size. One could be altered to make an ankle cuff.
Sizing: Small-Medium
Bra: Should fit range including 32 C/D, 34 B/C+, narrow 36 A+/B/C. The style and angle of the cups encourages cleavage! Larger cup sizes should be ok taping (if you don't know what taping is, email me) to bring breasts together and not have side "spillage"; the cups have a fair amount of height to cover everything squeezed towards the middle.
True Waist: Fabric relaxed = 26", stretches to approximately 30".
Hips: Fabric relaxed = 33", stretches to approximately 38"
Length: From top center of bra (approximately your breastbone) to hem: 47".
Age/Condition: New. There is a sounds-scary but really hardly noticeable outline of a maybe 2" diameter water spot on the left side of the left leg. The outlines aren't complete (they disappear in places; there isn't a big in your face continuous circle), are a little irregular. There are a couple of small (marker tip sized) darker spots probably associated with this; they aren't too dark. See photos below. A few very minor snags in lycra, can't even see them in all the beadwork.
