Thread: Fairy Tale Belly Dance costumes by Raya

Hi!
I'm a new designer from Ukraine.
The best award for me is when someone likes my work.
I like to make Fairy tale Belly Dance Costumes.
Hope you will like them :)
I'm happy to have a chance to present my costumes on Bhuz.
English is not my first language but I improve my knowledge...so think I'll be able to talk with all Bhuz members :)
Thanks to all girls that became my friends an helped me to understand what to do on this forum xD
I appreciate any opinion so dont' hesitate to criticize. It will help to make my costumes better.

your costumes are very unique and quite beautiful. really like the idea for the skirts, unfortunately my bra cups are very large, in Canadian sizes i am 32F, ..c::

Raya xD for sure im ur fan #1 i "requete~lovethem" muahahhah!!! my favorite the purple one *-* then the pink one, the red and the rest *-* <3<3<3<3 gosh gosh im n love

Beautiful work!

Hi :)

Is the mermaid available?

I Love all the costumes, only thing that I think is a bit "negative", is that the bras look like beaded street bras.

The skirts are wonderful!

My size is

Bra : B cup

36/40 upper/lower hip
35 skirt lenght

If the mermaid is my size, and available, I would like to buy it :)

Ohh..yes I didn't know how to make perfect bras because I'm a new designer but now everything is ok

It is not a problem. Can make something specially for you in your size.
If you worry about a bra you can send me one that suits you to use as the base.

Raya, you have a very unique vision. I have never seen anything quite like your creations. My only criticism is that you are not charging enough! ..l;, Something so intricate, detailed and unique is worth much more: $300, $400, $500 - especially since they are new and hand-made. I hope the other bhuzzers aren't mad at me but I want to see your work properly compensated. Good luck! You are a true artist.

I know about prices. But it is not so easy to sell your first costumes specially when you are from Ukraine. People hesitate if costume will suit and if I'm honesty person.
So while I'm not famous ...Ladies prices are really low

Very beautiful and unique costumes:)

Beautiful! I love the purple & pink. I seldom wear 2 piece costumes anymore, just dresses..g.: But I still love to admire beautiful costumes.

Thanks ladies.
So ...as you've already understood I sew costumes myself and it's impossible to make a lot of them
That's why I ACCEPT ORDERS
Now have only one for sale





Price 200$

Raya, what beautiful work you do! I am in love with the mermaid costume!! Please, keep posting pictures of anything new you create.

Thanks girls. You really inspire me to work.
Of course I'll post my new costumes.

beautiful work! could you perhaps take a picture of the inside of the bra and belts (the lining)? Are these costumes shipped from the Ukraine?

Thanks!

I'll post pictures soon.
I ship from Ukraine.
Usually it takes 2-3 weeks to ship an item.

wow, your beading and detail is amazing! i love the originality of the decoration and belt shapes too.
only suggestion would be to cover the bra with fashion fabric before beading, so that the underwire and lingerie style straps and bands are transformed into costume straps and bands. i think it will help you to sell to the pro-demographic that can afford to pay you what you deserve to get for the intricate detail you're bringing to these.
i also love the way you use multiple colors so well.

These are so beautiful! The improvement you made is wonderful! Nicely done.
I will definitely keep you in ind when I have enough money saved for another cotume. I am a curvy shortie so it's impossible to find costumes that fit me.
Good luck!

Oh Raya - I must bookmark this thread - your work is BEAUTIFUL! What were the prices of the first three costumes when they sold? I may have to treat myself after the holidays . . . You are very talented.
