Thread: Ooak dress $325 ~~black/fuschia/silver

ONE OF A KIND -- custom made Pharaonics DRESS

Dress made from a very soft and luxurious black stretch velvet with fuschia, silver and black beading.


"Aida" style neckline (additional Swarovski crystals were added along neck strap) paired with an unwired "Arabesque" style skirt. Hem on black skirt has tons of black sequins. Actually, if you look closely at the pictures, it's not just the hem that has sequins....there is a gorgeous scrolling design that runs about midway up the skirt.

Size 2-6. I am 5"3" and it skims the top of my feet.

Good juju -- First wore this dress when I met Fifi Abdo in Texas! The dress for sale is on the far right.

Oh this is awesome - alas - no way it would fit - beautiful gown!

Waiting for measurements, at max stretch, with some amazingly mis-guided hope that it might fit....

I couldn't get any of the links to photos to work for me.

I was having trouble uploading the photos using the bhuz photo manager, so I pulled them from my Facebook page. Are you on Facebook? If not, let me see if I can upload them a different way.

I'm pretty sure Jen's is for sale. I'm going to pretty positively predict that Monica will keep hers...but let me ask.

What size (measurement) is Jen's? If it fits me, I would like it!
probably just as easy to ask - which lovely lass in the photos is Jen?

Oh my gosh I just saw my old dress!!
I had a look at a few of the other photos in that album (sorry, just checking to see if there were any more of the black pharonics) and the green saiidi.... I'm sure that's the one that used to be mine! unfortunately it never fit me :(

Hi Superbunny,
OmMia linked to some pics on my facebook fan page, please look as much as you would like! I bought that dress from Suzana, I bet she got it from you originally. :) I altered it a bit, and I love it!

In this photo, Jen is on the far right...

Hey there! I'm Jen on the right. I'm a size 6 but I think it will fit up to an 8. Getting ready to measure it.

Here are measurements for the one on the right.

Cups: B/C to small D, 6"x7"x7.5", probably a #2 or small #3
Bra Ribcage: 35.5" end-to-end
Length: 57" from right shoulder to hem
Dress Ribcage: 26" unstretched, 37" stretched max
Waist: 23" unstretched, 35 stretched max
Upper Hip: 27" unstretched, 39" stretched max
Lower Hip: 30" unstretched, 43" stretched max

For reference on the cups, I'm a 32D. Since it's a dress with coverage, you could be a bit bigger and not look scandalous. You could also wear a different/larger bra. The right cup is only tacked down in one place. The left cup is tacked down in two places and some of the beading and rhinestones along the top left are attached. It wouldn't take too long to remove and re-attach.

Also, mine came as a one-shoulder style with a beaded strap over the left shoulder. I attached that strap to the right to make it a true one-shoulder dress. I also added a 2" piece of fabric to the right shoulder to lengthen the dress. The headband came HUGE so I got the extra bit of fabric when I resized it.

Includes 2 gauntlets, 2 anklets, headband, and chiffon veil. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm guessing that you'll want Jasmine's (Jen's) because she is more than a few inches taller than me. Mine is for shorties.

Thanks so much Jen, those measurements are juuuuuust a little too small for me
I could just about make the bra, waist and upper hip work, but the lower hip... that being said, how far down the hip did you take the measurement? With different shaped hips, some measurements can be misleading - my widest around the hips is actually level with the top of my thigh/bottom of pelvic girdle, and I can sometimes get away with a smaller 'lower hip' if the measurement is taken mid-pelvis.

I tend to measure a bit conservatively because no one wants to put on a costume and look like a stuffed sausage!

I just put on the dress to get a better idea of where I measured it. I measured the lower hip 4" below my belly button. My hips are 39" at that point. At the top of my thigh, another 3" down, I'm 41" and there is quite a bit more stretch there. Several inches on each side, I think because there is far less beading. The velvet is super stretchy in general. Where the velvet meets the chiffon skirt, it stretches comfortably to 47".

What is your measurement at the top thigh/widest part? I can let you know if it will work.
