    Vintage Style Velvet & Coins costume -- Oooh, sparkly!!

    This is a Vintage-Style coin velvet & costume with trumpet skirt, short & long armbands, headband, bracelets and extra fringe. I was told this entire costume was made by L Rose and the skirt tag says "L Rose Designs" on it. All the velvet on the rest of the costume matches the skirt perfectly and even though I know that L Rose doesn't normally make costumes, I tend to think this was a custom job.

    Asking $275 plus shipping. Accepting Paypal and postal money orders.

    Measurements:

    Trumpet skirt is 32" unstretched, 42" stretched, 40" long

    Belt is 42" wide with 3" overlap on both panels, able to go to 48" circumference. Belt will stretch a bit as well.

    Bra band is 37-40" (stretches a little bit). Straps are 17" long. Cups are 9" high, 8" wide and 8 1/2" diagonally. I'm a 34 DD and it fits fine. It could go both smaller and a little bigger, too.

    You can see all the photos I took here.

    Is 21" the highest the skirt will stretch?

    I had my hubby stretch it while I measured. I told him not to rip it apart, but it could probably stretch another inch or two.

    The previous measurements were only 1/2 the skirt (flat). I have updated the measurements to reflect the full circumference which is 32" unstretched and 42" stretched. Sorry for the confusion.
