I am selling this costume as i have lost weight and it no longer suits me. I have worn this costume when I was an Australian size 10/small12 which I believe is a US size 6/8 (please let me know if I am wrong). (The skirt was tight when I was a size 12).

Costume consists of bra (halter style), skirt, headband and armbands. I made a headband out of excess materials from the skirt.

Disclaimers - I do not wash my costumes but I do air them for an extended amount of time. I have only worn this costume around 8 times. There is only one drop missing, there is some makeup on the headband and some on the inside of the bra liner. There is clear elastic sewn to the inside of the "wings"of the bra cups. I then tie this around my neck to keep the bra cups in the right place. This is easily removed. The bead work of the skirt stops the fabric on the skirt from stretching too far. There is also a noticeable amount of fabric wear on the back of the skirt, small amount on the front and also the arms bands. The base colour of the fabric is black and there is some contrast between it and the blue colour. I have included photos of this fabric wear but please let me know if you would like more photos. Please note in the photos that the flash (and the fact that the camera was only a couple of feet away) made the fabric more see through than it actually is. I think a black lining or pair of shorts would avoid any embarrassment. The bead work is in such good condition that a new skirt could be made and the bead work transferred (I'm just not that clever with a needle!). One of the chiffon inserts has started to fray as well - see pictures for details.
