i'm giving up this fabulous red fringelicious vintage abla with AB rhinestones surrounded with her signature gold beading in a vine design on the bra and belt. It breaks my heart to give it up, but even when i bought it off the lovely bhuzzer, i knew that I would be pushing the underbust, which is 31.5" on the cossie, yet my ribcage would bust it at 33". so now here she is, ready for a loving new owner who will dance in her

belt is 37.5", currently set at 34", which has 8 panels/petals attached, 33" long decked in sequins and beads. chiffon underskirt goes to a 38" max at the elastic, with petals(36" at the longest). as typical of Abla, the petals are hand appliqued with sequins and beads, and the hem is scallop beaded as well.

Bra is 31.5" underbust, currently set at 31". Cups(padded): 8"wide, 6" high, 6.5" diagonal with tape pressed on the inside. A/B- cup with padding, maybe C with the padding taken out.... fringe 12" in the middle of the bra, fringe on cups range from 8" near the middle graduating down to about 5" on the sides, the fringe on the right side under the arm is maybe an inch or so longer, which i like cuz it makes it uniquely Abla, since i'm sure he hand strung her fringes. signature double straps, one that hooks halter-like, the other in normal bra fashion. are 12.5", sewn together as a halter...

comes with 2 fringed sleeve pieces, 20" from top of arm to pointed tip(elastic attached for finger), fringe is about 3.5" long, and one of those fab abla capes(56" or so from neck to back) with a ruffled cap at the armholes.

I only wore it twice(only because my 33" ribcage WILL make it pop if i try one more time), and the only sign of any loss is 3/4" wide spot on the sleeve fringe, which you don't even notice when worn or in motion Comes from a Non-smoking, petless home.
Asking $275. As all vintage Ablas, it's in amazing shape, no noticeable rhinestone loss, and TOTALLY deserves to be danced in!....who wants this treasure? oh, free shipping in the US. post with intent here, and feel free to ask questions

didn't see a PM...try my email at moragh underscore 21030 at yahoo dot com

Gorgeous!

argh! I remember this one.... can't buy anything though.....

Amazing! If I had the money I'd be sorely tempted, since I love red, and it's so hard to find Ablas that will fit my little ribcage. Whoever gets this is very lucky!

Oh weird, I sent the PM last night. I guess the system is acting up.

unfortunately I re-measured myself and I think I'd be pushing the ribcage on it too :(

In line. sent pm

added closeup of skirt/belt, edge of cape and bra :)

Add me to the line please!
