Thread: does anyone have one of these costumes? comments on fit?

Reasonably priced and will fit a DD !!

Can anyone comment on the sizing ..do they run small or big? Is that hip strap easily adjustable? I don't want it so tight that it squeezes the sausage. How low can the belt be worn?

thanks!!

in one of the photos she isn't wearing the straps, are they detachable?

sorry spoke to soon.

I have one from before they re-did the design, I love it. It's the typical pharoanics football shaped cup though, so if you're looking for depth, these won't serve. If I remember the fit of mine, it squashed me, but looked great on another dancer who was a bit smaller than I.

I've looked into these, and may be buying one in silver at some point. Yes, the waist straps are detachable. Apart from on or off, I don't know how adjustable they are.

It's the Pharaonix Decadence / Straps bedlah at the Bellydance store. In silver.

yes, do. you can always pad up.

I just received mine in RED! The cups are the football shape, and feels more "open" in the chest area,but I will just wear a beautiful necklace.....I feel it fits me fine. Straps are detachable.

Can someone say how fit of the bra compares to that of a great loop?

I have one in gold that I bought from the swap. I'd say the cups run small, esp on the vertical measurment, here are pics, the person I bought from sewed one of the arm bands to the top for more coverage. I'm a 34D and it fits me. I think when this was ordered the place messed up and gave the original bhuzzer a B cup.

Here ar pics Pharaonics - Gold Decadence-Straps Bedlah pictures by sajtye - Photobucket

Bra:
34" underbust / halter neck straps
B/C/D
cups measure (with extention) 8" diagonal, 8" wide, 6" tall
cups measure (NO extension) 7.5" diagonal, 7.25" wide, 5.5" tall

(Note: 1 pair of the arm straps are sewn to the top of the cup, which can be undone, making the vertical and diagonal measurements half inch larger to accomodate a D cup)

gorgeous! thanks for posting..i'm trigger happy and about to order one :)

is the skirt attached to belt?

The belt is not attached to the skirt. The skirt set is sold separately
and retails for $220 at(www.bellydancestore.com)

Just get one! They are beautiful!

bellydancestore, thanks for posting..I forgot to post your link..will be ordering soon :)

I have it in red and I love it!
Pharaonics runs fairly true to size- but remember back sizing. Email the store and ask them, they'll be glad to help you out.
The belt is cupped, and can be worn fairly low. It's a two piece so can be adjusted for both size and angle quite easily.
The waist strap is completely removable, so also completely adjustable.
Get it!!!

I have it in green.

Very similar to Great Loops in terms of basic construction.

I LOVE the heavy beading-really, really luxurious.

The belt is two pieces for easy fit. The bra is typical shallow Pharaonics. You might need to use the slim beaded arm band to add to the cups. I did not (this time).

It comes with bra, belt, thin headband, 4 thin bands for arms/ankles, and waist strap that is taller than I am (almost).

Nicer quality that the current Great Loops in terms of beading, I think.

I did not buy the skirt set, but I might. Bright green is hard to match!!! But if I had gold, I would not buy a skirt since I have 500 of them.

You will love it.

lol dancers are my best friends especially when they are encouraging a costume purchase..it's kinda like when we go skydiving and i'm cheering on my buddy who jumps first lol

next paycheck and it's mine..i just bought Zack a scooter

I do love that skirt, so pretty..but since I make silk skirts will probably pair it with a turquoise blue skirt and a bird of paradise set of veils :)

thanks for the spending support :)
