Center back measures 7-1/2” wide with a curved profile to frame your bottom;

Condition
This bra/belt set is in very good condition. It’s well maintained, with no missing rhinestones that I could find (there are so many!!). There are minor signs of wear on the interior. I’m adding a discount since the bra had to be altered to fit 34B, but it can be returned to 36C/D with just a few minutes of effort; no sewing skill required!
...Plus I’m tossing in two matching green skirts for free! Size small (elastic waist; around 34" to floor but this is adjustable)

This is an authentic Pharaonics. I bought it new for $450 (may have been more!). Asking $250 plus shipping. Sorry, I can't do trades.

(I also have a matching translucent iridescent green silk chiffon veil that shimmers blue, for $50! And a matching green rhinestone necklace/earring set. Let me know if you’re interested.)

Thanks for looking!

Is the belt the typical two pieces, but sewn together on one side?

The belt is one glorious continuous piece, and it attaches at the left side. The neat thing is that there's no distinct center-front, so it doesn't matter where you put the hooks - you just line up the belt at center-back, and the front will always be centered. On me, the hooks are just over my left hip bone.

I've never had a belt that fit this well. It just cups your booty, and doesn't shift or gap.

I have extra beads and sequins and matching thread! Plus 4" of the beaded fringe. (Adding the extra fringe will help to fill the space if you need to move the hooks on the belt.)

And I just found the other ankle band - 9" long, 1-1/2" wide, fully decorated. Woot Woot!

I'll take it if Kiyaana passes!

In line!

On hold for Kiyaana! or Nazarah if she passes, and so forth... Thanks!

A smokin deal -

Thanks for holding it for me! I am going to have to pass to Nazarah. I grabbed some fringe I have in this color and I'm afraid this shade isn't the best for me without a little bit of a tan. I'm so pale! Enjoy, Nazarah! (The beadwork - wow!!!!!)

I need to ask how in the world did you alter the cup from a C/D to a B cup?

Please do tell. thanks.

First I cinched in the center piece between the cups, which had several helpful benefits: 1. it reduced the space between the cups by about 1-1/2 inches, and 2. rotated the cups by about 30 degrees, so the widest part was no longer digging in to my armpit.

Next I shifted the shoulder straps out, so they connect to the cups at their *new* widest point.

Then I overstuffed the suckers!!!

In some of my costumes I will sew heavy-guage wire into the inside top of the bra cups so the the bra curves in to my chest and stays put, eliminating any gappage. I didn't need to do that with this one, though. No gaps.

I've attached a picture - you can see the bottom of the bra is now a /\ -shape in the center, where it used to be straight across. The ribbon keeps the tension where the band used to be, and it's hidden behind the fringe. This rotation of the cups to a u shape, versus the wide-apart c shape, is a good alternative to altering the cup size. I just made it up by experimenting and it seems to work!

I don't do the bhuz thing very actively, but if you think this is useful feel free to post it to the right forum.

Thanks for asking about it!
