I'm selling a wine and gold Hoda. The beading on it is great - big almost flowery patterns, nice fringe work, and the back of this this makes your butt look amazing. The fabric is not a metallic in the true sense of the word, it's more one of those fabrics that is woven in two colors, so if the light hits it one way, it's a bright shiny wine, and if it hits it another way, it will be a darker wine color. Really spectacular. However, when I got it, Hoda somehow got the idea that I was about 2-3" smaller in the hip than I really was. When I put it on for the first time I felt like a stuffed sausage.

So why, you ask, if the beadwork is great and it's a great design, are you selling it for only $300? Well, in my quest to NOT feel like a stuffed sausage, I had to take out side seams. This was also one of the times that Hoda actually stitched the sides with a stretch stitch, and I swear it was set on the smallest stitch they could get the machine to do. It was black thread, and the inside of the costume is black and I had an incredibly difficult time determining what was fabric and what was thread. There were also cuts in the seam allowance that I had to stitch up or I would have had a hole in the side of the costume. They are flaws that aren't noticeable from stage, nor do I think anyone would really notice them up close unless you point them out, but I need to disclose them and I have included close up photos of the damage. If you are smaller than me, you can zip up the sides of the costume and eliminate the damage altogether.

Costume comes with bra, skirt, 2 sleeve bands, and a chiffon veil. Also, I put a skirt liner in the costume made of black interlock fabric. This is what has the elastic casing in the top. It is secured to the inside of the costume but is easily removed if you do not like it.
