Type: Bra/Belt Set

Style: Oriental

Costume Size: Not sure of size, or not applicable

I've loved this costume, but it's time to rotate this one. It's a Hoda Zaki- Dahlal called it the "Desert Lotus. Brown with turquoise and gold accents. I am the only owner- I bought it from Dahlal. The original price at the time of purchase was $650.

Includes: Bra, skirt, 2 arm bands, veil (never used), extra fabric from when skirt was shortened, bag of beads

Measurements:

Bra- Vertical: 6 1/2"
Horizontal: 7"
Diagonal: 8"
Underbust: measures 34" end-to-end. Hooks are 32" and 33"

Skirt: I would say it's best for 31-36" upper hip and probably 34-41" lower, although there might be a little wiggle room. There is no elastic in the skirt, so it could be made smaller. Length is 35"

PLEASE NOTE: All off the things notes below are easy fixes! I don't sew & I could probably do these. The main thing is that the shimmery fabric looks great! You know how a lot of shimmery fabrics- the shimmer wears off on the butt & it looks really weird? This has NOT happened on this skirt! A small amount of effort in tightening up the beading in a few places & this costume will be in tip-top shape again!

There are a few empty settings on the rhinestone chain. It would be really easy to replace them, but none of them are noticable & all of the large stones are intact.

I've detailed the loose/missing beads on the skirt. There aren't any that I could find on the bra. There were a few loose stones, but I tightened those up already. I had a seamstress look at the beading and she thought she could probably do all of the repairs/tightening in an hour or so. I have a bag of extra beads from when the skirt was shortened.

1) Top back, by zipper: top of design motif- 1, possibly 2 rows missing (5 beads per row)
bottom of motif- a few loose threads, but I can't see anything missing
2) Mid-back, to the left of zipper: 4 beads missing
3) Mid-back, under the zipper: 1 row missing (5 beads)
4) Right side of skirt (towards the back): about 10 loose beads, but none missing
5) R of zipper in back: I see some threads. In this design motif, it is possible that there may be 2 rows of beading missing (5 or 6 beads per row)- 1 toward the top and 1 on the left
6) Front swag: There were originally 3 swags of beads across the front of the skirt. One of them was much shorter than the other 2 and really pulled. Now there are only 2. I was in my dressing room at my restaurant when it broke, so I managed to find the larger beads for it, so it could easily be re-created.
7) Front of skirt: 1 row of 5 beads missing


Was asking $225, then $200.

I'm so sad that this hasn't sold- I've dropped the price by $100 since I first listed it (different thread). It's so pretty, but I need to rotate costumes.
