    All Sold! Thanks!

    1 eman, 1 bella knock-off, 1 madame abla knock off

    Measurements added!

    I am desperate. I'm heading to Argentina on January 22nd, and realizing that I haven't quite saved up enough money. I really need to sell some costumes!

    I have to rush to work in 5 mins, so I don't have all the measurements. So I'm trying to drum up interest. I'll post measurements tonight if anyone is interested.

    In the mean time, my measurements are :

    Height: 5'4.5"
    Bra: 36/38 D in Canada (depends on the bra company)
    Upper hip: 40.5"
    Lower hip: 44"
    From top of hip to floor: 35"

    So both the bronze costume and the red costume are too small for me, but did fit me not too long ago. The turquoise eman is a little big, if that helps given an idea of size for now.

    Anywho, what the heck am I selling?

    1.) SOLD Bronze bedlah and skirt. It maybe a Madame Abla, or a very good knock off. I did buy it used, and have worn it a lot since. Is missing some beads and frindge, although you can't really tell the fringe is missing. Still has a lot of wear in it, still very beautiful. With a little tlc, this can be as good as new. Asking $200 plus shipping and paypal fees.

    2.)SOLD Red bellaesque costume. I've tried to sell this on bhuz before with no luck. Hoping this new lower price will get it out of my closet. I bought this used about 6 years ago, it ws my first pro costume. It does show some wear and tear, but still has so much life in it, still has a lot of sparkle. How it looks in the pics I posted is pretty much how it looks now. It has a super sexy cut out on the left hip. Not for the shy, but still tasteful. If you want, you can add nude net to the cut out if you don't like the draft Asking $200 plus shipping and paypal fees

    3.)SOLDTurquiose and black eman. I hate to sell this, but I don't wear it and I need the money. I've only performed in it three times, and had one photo shoot. It is in new condition. I will say that when I got it new, some stones were missing, and one of the seams had a whole in it (yes I bought it new). I've replaced all the mising stones and reinforced them with clear nail polish so they don't pop out again. I did not fix the seam though, I never got around to it. There is a saftey pin at the moment holding the hole together. But it wouldn't take more than 5 minutes to fix, anyone could do it. I will say the bra fits me like a glove, but the skirt is a little wide at the hips for me, and about 2 inches too long. But the costume is beautiful, and I always get othr danciers fawning over it when I wear it. Sigh, I hate to let it go, but it has to be done. Asking $300 plus shipping and paypal fees.

    Pics are on my profile:

    Re: Desperate to sell before January 22nd!

    In line for the bronze. Is it possible for better pictures? Is it a 1 piece belt? If has to be taken in will it ruin the line of the costume (make it look funny cause it's pulled n too much?)

    Re: Desperate to sell before January 22nd!

    oh wow lots of interest! Thats great!

    Ok here we go:

    The Bronze:

    This one was kinda hard to measure. Both the belt and the bra are very flat, so I just measured the widest part of both.

    Belt: 40.5"; Seat belt is 33" I think it can be adjusted fairly easily to different shaped booties, it would just be a matter of angling the clips just so. The belt is 1 piece. The belt still fits me with the measurements I listed above.

    Bra: 34" across; Cups are 6" wide, 6" tall and about 1" deep. They seem to be flat and wide. I find it to be too small for me now at a 38 D, I look very smooshed in it. But it did fit nicely when I was a 36C.

    Skirt: 36" long. The waist is 27" unstretched, 42" stretched

    The Red: SOLD

    Skirt: length is 33"-34", waiste/upperhip is 34"-41" (there is elastic that can be replaced or removed), lower hip is 34"-43"

    Bra: 34" across. Cups are 6.5" tall, 6" wide, and 3.5" deep

    The Turquiose and Black:

    Skirt: waist/upper hip is 42" stretched, 30" unstretched. 39" long. The beading is quite a few inches from the bottom, so it can easily be hemmed. The skirt is made of lycra and very stretchy. Also the skirt is very heavy, and I found it slid down my square hips more than was comfortable. Someone curvy would probably fit it better

    Bra: 32"-37" (there is elastic) across. Cups are 5.5" tall. 6" wide, 2.5" deep. It is a Dina style bra.

    email or facebook is the best way to reach me, as I don't always have computer access at work, and bhuz is too big for my little phone. talularaqs at hotmail dot com. Or Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More . But I will do my best to check bhuz as often as possible.

    The camera I have is kinda crappy. I did take some pics of the missing beading. Let me go through my facebook pics and see if I have better ones.

    Yes the belt is one piece. I think if you worked with the belt at the right angles, it could be taken in without looking funny, the belt itself is pretty flat. But I think it would also depend on how much you would want to take it in. Might end up being more work than its worth.

    I think it should fit a 34DD. Thats similar to a 36D yes? If it is, then definitely it would fit.

    I'm still interested in the bronze one, but I need to see more pics, closeups of the bra and bottom, also I'd like to see how the belt looks like laying flat. Thank you.

    Also, does the bronze bra make you look flat? because I need help in that department lol!

    Hi ladies, just wanted to let you know I've read your posts. Stuck with a crazy day at work right now, but I'll respond as soon as I home tonight. Thanks for all the interest! I'm feeling much less nervous about my trip, knowing that I'm probably going to have these costumes off my hands soon.

    Re: Desperate to sell before January 22nd!

    I tried to post more pics of the bronze on my profile album but couldn't seem to get them to work. So I've put them on my photobucket album.

    http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/talularaqs/

    I hope that gives a better sense of size and shape, and the extent of the missing beading. As you can see its all in the straps, not very visible at all.

    As for the flat cups, yeah, I think nothing more than a c cup can fit comfortably in this one. Yet, even though these cups are flat, I think because of the way they are cut, they aren't flattening. They are lightly padded inside to boost up the girls, and if needed more padding can be stragically placed to make a more definted cleavage line.

    Off a body its a bit of a weirdly cut costume, yet the way its made, it hugs the body like a glove. I really like this costume, and besides financial reasons, the only reason I'm selling this one is because the bra is now too small for me. But it used to be my work horse, I wore it with many different coloured skirts- red, white, turquoise, mauve, it seems to work with almost anything.

    Yikes, had a 12 hour day at work with another one coming up tomorrow. I'm going to sleep. But I'll check in again and answer questions as soon as I can.

    Re: Desperate to sell before January 22nd!

    What about any of your OTHER costumes in your photobucket? That blue one I remember cause I really wanted that one but SOMEONE, lol, got to it before me I couldn't remember what it was about it that I hesitated, maybe the skirt was too short or something. And the beige cossie at the end is lovely!!!!

    Re: Desperate to sell before January 22nd!

    Most of the costumes in my albums have been sold. But there are a few items that I still available. I just labeled the stuff that is sold to make it easier. Message me if you are interested in the others.

    Details on the red costume are in this album:

    Bella Bellaesque and the rest pictures by talularaqs - Photobucket

    As for shipping the red costume to Spain, I think it will cost $35 for the most basic shipping. If it costs more I will pay the difference (unless you are wanting the faster shipping, which is about $50), and if it costs less I'd charge you for the lower price.

    So far, the bronze is almost sold to someone I'm currently having email conversations with, so I guess its on tentitive hold for now. But the red and the eman are both still up for grabs. Anybody still interested???? I'd like to get these out of my closet soon! :-)

    Shems didn't comment after I posted measurements, so I assumed it meant it wouldn't work for her. I hope I wasn't mistaken about that. Sorry Shems if I was. I'm still kinda new at selling stuff here, I've only sold two costumes here before. Still getting used to the ettiquette.

    I've just sent you an email.
