Thread: Purple Bella TRADED- thank you!

Type: Full Costume

Style: Other

Costume Size: Not sure of size, or not applicable

Seller's Country: USA

Status: Available

I took this off the market thinking I would have it altered, but have decided to go ahead and sell it rather than cut it up. I deleted all the measurements, so I will remeasure and repost that information tomorrow. (3-23-12)

Excellent condition- nothing missing!!! Rich Purple with silver accents that sparkle in the stage lights, and fringe that really showcases your shimmies. I paid around $650.00 for it and have worn it three times... I had the veil added to fill in openings in the skirt for modesty- but can easily be removed. The work was done by a professional seamstress so it's quality work- she even matched the sequins that were originally on the skirt hem so the additional pieces look like they are original pieces.

Bra 34 D/DD- I am a 34D and it fits best with a little padding. Could be padded for a large C but would not recommend for anything smaller. Bra band end to end measurements 30.5 inches so it could fit up to a 38

Waist band is not very stretchy so I would recommend it for a 35 inch or smaller- Elastic can be tightened to accommodate smaller hips.

Lower hip max would be around 38 inches depending on how tight you wear your skirts. It's velvet and stretchy, but I think 38 or less is ideal without it being too tight or restrictive.

Costumes comes with bra, combi skirt, 2 arm bands, necklace, and headband.

Price is FIRM $400.00 plus shipping- will insure package. Accept PayPal or checks Willing to take payment plan.

Ack! It's like this was custom-made for me. Argh!

i have yet to find a shade that doesnt make me look drugged out in everyday wear. im not willing to risk it costume wise hahaha <3

Well you don't want that look that's for sure. One benefit is it makes it easy to turn down purple costmes lol.

really wish the bra was jsut a tad smaller. 9" is too big for me, everything else seems ok.

Oh thank goodness the bra is too big. I love this color and style..

If you are a C or D cup- and still fear it's too big you could pad it a little. I know lots of dancers who add a little padding. If you are less than a C then yes, that would be a lot of padding. Thanks for looking though :-D

I'm a street size 34D (small). So I don't mind padding but not lots.

what is the cup to cup measurement along the rib cage? so end of cup to end of cup measurement? if the same size as my other bella's it may work. thanks in advance.

oh and what is the vertical (up and down) cup measurement?

Hi SaNoorah- I am also a street size 34D and I just insert pads out of my normal bras when I wear this one and it works perfectly. That's me in the photos so that is what it looks like on a 34D. The hooks are set to fit at 34- you may need to move them in just a little. The end to end measurement is 30.5.

Hope that helps.

OOPS- Just re-read your question- I measured end of bra on each side. End of cup to end of cup is 11.5".

**BUMP**

what is the max hip? what is the bra band measurement?

Hi Mahira,

The waist band is the only non stretchy part and it would be best for 35" or less- the lower hip is that stretchy velvet material so it stretches quite a bit. Easily up to 38" could go more depending on how tight you are comfortable with. If you want to PM me your hip measurement I can see if I have a friend around your size and take a photo of it on someone with similar measurements.

The bra ribcage strap is 30.5 inches so it could fit up to a 38" regular bra size. Hope that helps.

sigh, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks, but it's too small for me.

Ok, thanks for looking anyway :-)
