    Reduced: Graceful Green & Gold Hoda, A-C Cup $250+ shipping

    I almost feel like I'm betraying a close friend by putting the beauty up for sale. I've had this costume for about 2.5 years and have LOVED it! It's a mix of modern and classic elements, very versatile and comfortable. I would guess I've worn this costume more than any other I've owned.

    Bra and skirt are covered in green chiffon, that fades from a deep hunter green to a more olive-y green. Covered in delicate yellow-gold beading and rhinestones. No missing stones or beads. The skirt is two pieces, to make it adjustable like many bedlahs come in two pieces. Gold beaded fringe on the back of the skirt.






    MEASUREMENTS:
    Bra:A-C cup, vertical 5.5" horizontal 7.5" diagonal 7.5"
    Underbust: 35"
    Skirt: front piece 20"
    Back piece: 20" set for me, upper hip approx 35"
    Whole skirt, measuring from top of belt is about 38"

    CONDITION & DISCLOSURES:
    This costume has been well-loved and had signs of wear and tear when I got it. There are small stains on the front of the skirt. There are some snags on the skirt and the bra near where the hooks for the costume are. Some of the gold paint on the beads on the fringe in the back has worn off, but this not noticeable from a distance. I really only noticed on closer inspection. I also just noticed a tear in the belt lining, this can be easily repaired.

    A lot this was present when I got the costume 2.5 years but it the costume was and still is very stage-worthy and beautiful. I reached for it all the time. I've just worn it so much, I need to rotate it out.

    This would be a great costume for newer dancers looking for their first designer costume or dancers looking for a gorgeous, classy restaurant workhorse. The straps on the skirt are an excellent spot for tips!

    Reduced: $250 + shipping. Will also throw in the a yellow-gold silk veil I used with the costume.

    Here's picture to show the position of the stains. On the over and underskit, I think it may have been wax, but don't know.



    I will ship internationally.

    This is a beautiful costume, I bought it from Yazeena I believe. The stains are not super noticable. It's got a ton of dance life still in it

    Yes, lots of dance life left.

    I am open to trades. Thinking oranges, reds yellow. Prefer gold beading, tends to flatter me better than silver.

    Thanks!

    What is the belt like underneath of that overskirt piece? Is it beaded just like the part you can see all the way under the skirt?

    The beading does continue, although the flower design is a little more sparse underneath it. I'm happy to post a picture tonight.
