(Thanks to Audra Evans for taking pictures! She can also attest to the quality of the costume)

I bought it off of Bhuz some years ago. It looks brand new except that the inner lining of the bra shows a little wear and there is one small tear in the inner lining fabric from the previous owner (shown in pictures in the above Picasaweb gallery).

Price: $685, which includes free shipping anywhere in the USA.

I can accept Paypal, credit cards, and checks.

I'm happy to answer any questions or take additional pics/measurements.

Hi I'm interested in this, it's lovely, I sent you a PM with a few questions.

oops! I forgot a question! Can you also tell me what the cup measurement is from outside edge of one cup to the outside edge of the other cup? I basically
just need to make sure the cups aren't spaced to wide for the front of my rib cage.

Yummy! Love the colour combo :)

I PM'd you back :)

The measurement from outside edge to outside edge of cups, straight across (ie not dipping down into the cups) is approximately 14 inches. Hope that helps :)

Oh and for reference when you all look at the pics, I am a 36DD, with a 39" high hip and a 43" low hip. Everything fits me except the skirt, which is too short (I'm 5'8").

Any other questions - just ask :)

hi there, did you buy this from azhara here on bhuz?

I really wish I could remember who I bought it from, or any other information about the sale.

I tried to look on Bhuz first to refresh my memory, but my PMs don't go back that far, and some of the old threads I had bookmarked back in the day don't seem to work now due to the site format change.

The only things I can remember clearly about the sale is that it was purchased late May or early June 2008 and that the seller was very nice and shipped everything quickly.

The skirt won't fit me, so I would like the bedlah only if anyone out there would be interested in buying the skirt!
Let me know if you decide to split them up Haaladances, and thanks for answering my questions so fast.

I may be interested in buying the skirt pending price.

and what color are the srquins on the skirt?

Hi SaNoorah :)

The sequins alternate silver holographic, red, and a sort of gunmetaly/iris color.

I took 2 close-up pictures of the skirt sequins for you and placed them in the picasaweb photo album so you can see them better.

I've never separated a skirt out before, so let me think about what an appropriate price would be and I'll update this thread accordingly :) Or feel free to PM with an offer and I'll check with JoLynn and see if that will work for her too, since it will affect her total price for the rest of the set.

And if you or anyone else has more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

BTW, this set would be perfect for Valentine's Day! :-D

Hi Kina!

I have that one....it's gorgeous... If you want I'll keep you in mind if I sell...

OMG YES!!!! you have no idea of what that costume means to me, thank you! I'm not in a position to buy right now, but I really appreciate that.

Okie dokie, after getting some advice on skirt prices, I will agree to split the set as follows:

$150 for just the skirt
$535 for everything else (bra, belt, necklace, armlets, wristlets)

Those prices include domestic shipping and paypal fees.

JoLynn and SaNoorah, please let me know if this is acceptable. If you both agree, then I'll take it off the market, otherwise, I'll need to keep trying to sell it as a full set.

That's fine by me, I will be waiting with bated breath to see if anyone wants the skirt!

I'm also still totally shocked no one has snapped up the whole set yet!

Just sent a PM to SaNoorah so we'll see what she says. If she passes, I think I'll start a separate for-sale thread for just the skirt and see if we get any takers that way.

However, just to be clear to anyone dropping by this thread: the whole set is still for sale!

First person expressing interest in the whole set (or just the skirt) will get it.

This is sooooo gorgeous, the color of the red is perfect. I would have totally snapped this up, but sadly, I am not a double D!

I know, it is our curse not to be the same size as each other. Well, it's mostly my curse :P

Hi,

I am interested but have some questions for you. Sending you a PM right now. If for some reason my PM doesn't go through I can be reached at datasha.bellydance@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi Andalee,

Just answered your questions in a PM - let me know if you didn't get it for some reason.

Just to add more information for others who might be lurking in the thread:

There are 22 swarovski crystals on the bra, 7 on the front belt part, and 15 on the back belt part. There is also one big swarovski crystal on each of the armlets and wristlets, for a total of 48 crystals on this costume!

The beading detail on the bra and belt is the same colors as the sequins on the skirt - a mix of silver, red, and what looks like gunmetal from a distance but on closer look is actually a dark rainbowy/iris color.

There are also silver hologram sequins, swarovski crystals, crystal rhinestones, and red beaded fringe on the bra and belt.

If anyone has any other questions about the set, please feel free to ask :)

Hi Haala,

I checked my in-box and no PM so far. In fact, I checked my account settings and everything seems to be in place so do not understand why my PMs are not coming through -- very strange. Any chance you could e-mail me? Sorry for the trouble. I can be reached at: datasha.bellydance@gmail.com

Thank you!!!
