c0861 Lilac Metallic Dress, Mesh Cut Outs, Crystals     $230

SALE $205

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. This dress features a flared, full-length skirt and elegant backless design with narrow tie back straps. The fabric is stretch lilac with lilac metallic overlay (tiny, closely and randomly spaced dots), A small mesh insert is placed over the right, rear hip area, and larger inserts are placed over the left hip bone and midriff. The mesh is a lightly different color, a dusty lilac, that contrasts but coordinates with the main fabric.

The dress features sequin and glass bead embellishments that range from silver to deep lavender, to almost garnet. Chunky fringe made from clear purple faceted acrylic beads, silver metallics, and tipped with lavendar marbelized round plastics are in 3 strand groups, scattered across the bra and hip area. The bra has two 1/2" acrylic crystals and one gorgeous large teardrop, 1-1/8" by 7/8"-inch real glass crystal. The skirt has a slit over the left leg that rises to mid-thigh and is accented with silver seed beads and multi-colored sequins. The skirt has a zipper, as well as elastic along the top edge so that it gently fits around the lower back.

The bra has two scallop-edged straps that fasten halter-style behind the neck with a hook and eye, and two sets of spaghetti straps that tie around the back. The cups should fit a
