Thread: SOLD - Berry Paisley Faux Silk Costume

Type: Full Costume

Style: Oriental

Costume Size: Not sure of size, or not applicable

Seller's Country: USA

Status: Available

I just finished this costume tonight. I love it, but have too many costumes and my others aren't selling so I thought I'd see if anyone had any interest in this one.

It's made from faux silk and features beautiful chunky beading in pink, purple, burgundy, gold and crystal. The costume includes the bra, belt/skirt, arm bands and a headband. Asking $400 NOW $375 plus shipping. I'll also include the project leftovers which includes a full two yards plus extra scraps of the silk fabric, some lining fabric and beads.

Bra is built on a 36C bra base. The band is 34" end to end. The cups are 7" diagonal by 5.5" vertical. The extra silk fabric at the top of the bra reaching up to behind the neck provides more coverage than these dimensions normally would since I only measure the actual cups.

The belt is 36" end to end. It can be adjusted infinitely smaller without losing the symetry of the belt. The skirt is attached to the belt with snaps for easy removal. You can wear the belt with a different skirt if you wished. The skirt measures 34" from the top of the belt to the hem. You can adjust this by about a half inch in either direction by moving the snaps on the belt. I also have a full two yards plus additinal scraps of the fabric that could be used to lengthen the skirt or make other accessories.

UPDATE 12/10/11: I wore this costume for a show tonight so I'm reducing the price. Still in like new condition.

Thanks. If I kept them all I'd need a whole room for them. I don't dance enough to keep them all and I could use the extra money right now.

LOL, yes it would be very easy to add fringe to the belt and it wouldn't interfere with the skirt at all. I had considered adding it myself (I love fringe too) but opted not to. You could use so many different colors of fringe. Gold, pink, red, burgundy, purple would all look good on it. I'm happy to take payments if it helps.

Oops!
I was actually just getting ready to pm you too! lol! I'll clean it out and wait for your reply!
