Hi everyone!...Sorry if this is in the wrong forum...and I apologize if it gets long and ramble-y
There is a costume in Dahlal that I have been eyeing for what seems like a year. "The Great Loop." It's expensive, but I see it as a good investment since I'd get it in gold and that's a pretty verastile color. I would have to custom order it because they don't have my size in stock. Has anyone ever custom ordered from Dahlal? Did you give your exact measurements? When you custom order from anywhere, is it best to give your exact measurements or add a few inches for leeway? For those who tend to fluctuate in cup size, did you order your current cup size or did you go up/down a size? I have been an A-cup for about six months, but prior to that I was a B for about two years. I'm only 21, so I have a feeling that my cup size is going to continue changing for awhile. And finally, how long are the loops in front on the bra and in the back on the belt? I'm pretty short and small and don't want loops hanging down to my belt. I've seen lots of posts about this costume before, so any information anyone could give me would be great. I want to be able to wear this costume for several years!

Re: Caberet costume/custom online order
Hi,
Dahlal has a guide on their site for what to measure, and you need to provide them with everything, even if you don't understand why they want it.
Also, have someone else measure you. I recently had someone measure me and found that I've been ordering a few inches on the large size since, oh, forever :-)
In terms of cup size, you can go up to 2 sizes larger and pad if you want to look more blessed. if not, I'd still order a cup size larger as breasts change size day to day and you say you've already had some fluctuations.
Since you are custom ordering you can specify how long you want the loops to be in the costume that you order.- A deeply desired goal gives context to present experience... M. Stanton Jones

I did not know you could specify the loop length! That is fantastic!
