What size are you? My measurements are 34" around the ribcage, a D/DD cup depending on the style of bra, 37" upper hip, 40" lower hip. Is the red bedlah the one w/the gold flower that you've had posted for a long time? I'd love to see some pictures of these. My pain threshold for projects are around $40-$50 because normally I have to make a bra from scratch (most projects end up being B or C cups which will not work for me even if a add extra coverage to the cup). If the price is to low for you I totally understand but as I said with smaller costumes I have to do so much work to get them to fit I can't see paying more than that. So let me know, my email address is brokentiles@yahoo.com if you want to send me pics. Have a safe New Year celebration tonight :-)

Good for you my friend!!!!!

~HAPPY NEW YEARS DAY BUMP~

Where did you go YvonneDance?????

BUMP BUMP BUMP

YvonneDance .... I have answered posts and PMs from you but have received no info on projects, just in case you sent me something that is.

Every now and again I revive this thread. Have I mentioned I LOVE projects????

*Ones you've started and never finished
*Ones you've bought bits and pieces for but never quite got EVERYTHING you wanted together
*Beads
*Sequins
*fabrics
*Fringe
*Trims

The small sets I just scavenge for parts Cause I AM NOT SMALL
The ones that MIGHT fit I try to finish them or scavenge parts if they aren't something I can use.

$5-$40 is about my pain threshold. Not looking for junk

I'm a D/DD cup
34" ribcage
37" upper hip
40" lower hip
just so you know what projects may actually fit in case you have something

Hi. I have a teal metallic dress/skirt and bra set that I'd love to sell you as a project. A friend of mine took apart a dress meaning to make it into a bra and skirt. The bra is done a fabulous, but the skirt needs elastic. Comes with 2 finished gauntlets, also I am selling it for $50, and for you, I'll includie shipping if you want it! ;-)

Check out my link. It's the 3rd item. ;-)

I already had looked at this one and can see that the bra is not going to work for me. That's not my style of bra. But thanks for offering. That's wild that I just recently looked at this and thought the color was beautiful but the bra just wouldn't work. How have you been doing? You know I am so embarrassed to say I have STILL not worked on that beautiful copper project I bought from you probably a year ago. Thanks for thinking of me :-)

Well, I would love to purchase unfinished projects (beads, sequins, fabrics, trims, etc) either in their entirety or piece meal. It would keep me busy AND empty up some space for YOU to be filled with whatever you may find on Bhuz to refill it

Okay Ladies here's the perfect time of the year to go through your projects that you know you'll never get to and sell them to me for some Christmas cash :-) As I have mentioned before my pain tolerance for projects is $30-$40 (I prefer cheaper of course but sometimes we just dont get what we want, do we?).

What I'm looking for:

Started projects that you KNOW you're never gonna finish or even start.

Old costumes that are beyond the wearing stage cause they are ratty or maybe you feel are a lost cause (I can always scavenge parts)

Old beaded dresses that you've purchased from the Thrift store thinking "That would make a great costume" and you still have it 4 years later (Yeah, you know the one I mean).


What I'm NOT looking for:

ANYTHING that you want more than $40 for. You may have paid more than that for it but if you haven't done anything with it in years, $40 for it is better than nothing and plus it's just taking up space in your closet.

Projects that look like a professional made it but you know you'll never finish it. I can't pay $400 for a project .... I just can't I know it's worth that, in time, supplies and sweat so I don't even want to go there. I make costumes too. No one knows how much of ourselves we put in these costumes.

Total junk, use your discretion, please.

Now lets get in there and look under your beds, closets, sewing rooms, where it is that you stash you stuff that you no longer have time for

I have a box full of coins and beads that I would sell for $10 (paypal). I would have to get your shipping address to find out what the shipping cost would be, and add this on.

The cheaper the better, slow boat to China would be my choice cause there's no hurry.

I just can't let this thread die .....

BUMP FOR THOSE UNFINISHED OR SEMI FINISHED INEXPENSIVE PROJECTS YOU HAVE LAYING AROUND

NOTHING over $40-$50 please I have a tight budget

I suppose I could let the black and silver fabrics go for $50 that I posted on this thread back on 12/2. Let me know what you think, thanks! Here is also some other fabric I could give up for another $40...The flower-patterned fabric is at least a few yards long...I can check on the lengths of everything later if you're interested.

Thanks Asala but I JUST purchased some black, beaded lace pieces from Ezma just days ago. And as for the other fabrics ... I don't like pinks, or oranges (except rust). The turquoise is pretty, how much of that do you have?

No worries! It's really more of a teal, my camera made it look more blue for some reason. I'll attach another photo that hopefully can catch it's true color better. The measurements are: 55.5"x71.5"
I can let it go for $20 with shipping already included. Sound good?

Hi Hypatiah! The black lace isn't stretchy but the silver is, but only in on direction-on the diagonal. It's really gorgeous fabric, I wish I had more free time to make a beautiful skirt out of it!!

Let me know if you need more photos...

I don't need teal so I am going to have to pass, thanks though.

Thank you Asala, I love the colors but I need stretchy fabrics, if not I'd need a lot of fabric to make circle skirts.

Hi Brokentiles! Good news! I just received my coins today!! even before my set!!!.

Thank you for your wishes, I'm crossing my fingers for them to match.

I have 6 yards of this beautiful fabric labeled "floral paisley batik" ...it's a chiffon-like material. As you can see from the photos, it's a bit see-through, I used the couch, carpet and bare floor to show how much so. Two photos were taken without flash and one with. Just $30 plus shipping.

IS it 60" wide? IF (and only if) it is 60" wide I will take it, if not it's not, it's not quite enough to make as full a circle skirt as I like to and I would have to pass. In case it is 60" wide my zip is 78739. Thanks for offering, it's beautiful.
