**I am leaving the country on Friday for 10 days...if you buy or trade before then I will mail it before I leave!

This is an Eman Zaki from the 2008-2009 lines that had the feathers coming out of the top of the bra. I traded for it on Bhuz, and the dancer who owned it previously had removed the feathers and cut the arm bands in half to use the arm band fabric to cover the top of the bra. I was really happy with that because I never cared for the feathers on these costumes. The maintenance seemed like it would be really difficult.

Anyway, the costume is in really good condition, except for the armbands which, as I mentioned, have been cut in half. Although, I still wear them, I just tuck the cut end under and they are just small upper arm cuffs. The bra modification was very well done. ETA... there are built-in shorts under the skirt....so don't fret the super high slits ;-) you won't be showing any extra "jewels"

I love this costume and get a lot of compliments on it, but I need to shake up my costume closet a bit.

Would like $250, but open to offers. (flat rate priority male in the US included) or let me know if you want to trade something you have.

lovely, are you looking to sell or just trade?
Thanks.

Well, I was thinking trade, but you can pm me an offer

I'm not quite sure what to ask for it, since it's been "modified" from the original.

Ok, will wait for measurements and see if it will fit
Thanks.

Pretty!

Yep, absolutely. I love it. Let me measure it and post the measurements for everyone. I get home around 3:30 EST. I have a 20 month old, so it may take an act of God to measure it ;-) but I'll do it and get them posted by around 5pm EST.

I'd be interested if you'd be interested in...

But if that were so-I also would like to see the official measurements-and some more pcitures.
Gorgeous costume! : )

I'll load up some closeup photos of the bra, too, where it's been modified, and the armbands where they are cut.

:) I'll check back later

I have a brown Hoda Zaki listed on Bhuz- I can get you the link. I'd be happy to trade that plus I'd kick in some $$. If you're not interested in the trade and if the measurements work, I'd like to know how much you're asking for this.

Brown isn't really my color (although your costume is gorgeous...it would make me look so washed out!)

But, I did find a pic of what the costume looked like originally. This is slightly different--the fabric on mine doesn't have the gray colors in it. The fabric on mine is a much darker red and black with no gray. but, this gives you a better idea (and, Isis does it more justice than I do )

Here they are:

Bra Straps 33" across end-to-end
Cups 7" across; 6" top to bottom; 7 1/2 diagonal

Relaxed hips 28" (there is a large elastic band sewn inside that you could remove)
Max upper hip--34"
Max lower hip--probably around 38", but it was very hard to measure. The shorts would "rein you in" a little ;-)

Length--front is 35 1/2" from top to bottom, back was a bit longer, about 36" top to bottom
