Three dimensional-looking beadwork, what I call "wedding cake" beading. Combination of dark gold glass beads, clear glass beads and bright gold holographic sequins.

You wear your own bra inside the top. It has cut out shoulders that make the sleeves look like upper arm bands. The velvet upper part of the skirt is very stretchy, including around the seam where it attachs to the lower skirt, which is a very full georgette with a curly fishline beaded hem. The skirt can be worn with the elastic casing either out or folded inside; folding it inside takes an inch off the length. There are dangles around the hip area, single strands of the gold glass seed beads, each with a large AB faceted crystal round at the end.

Measurements:
Bust should fit okay from 34 up to 41" (and since it's worn over a bra, if you don't feel you're filling it out enough, you can wear a bra with larger cups and padding.)
Underbust 32 - 36".
Length of top, laid flat unstretched, from top of shoulder to hem, 14".
Upper hip with current elastic should fit 38 - 45". Absolute max stretch 50."
Lower hip should fit up to 48". Absolute max stretch to 52.
Skirt is designed to be shorter at center front and taper down to a longer length going around to the back. Length in back 37". Length at center front 33".

The gold glass-beaded waist strap was added to the costume by me. Fastens with a heavy duty snap. Length easily adjustable and there's plenty of extra if it needs to go longer. Could be removed easily without damage to the costume.

I've danced in this quite a few times yet it remains in excellent shape. The beading is durable and anything that has ever come loose has been promptly repaired. I looked it all over today and didn't see any snags, pulls or stains. No perfume, body or smoke odor.

The body stocking and headpiece in the photo are not included. This came in a zipper bag with the Joharah logo and I will send that with the costume IF I can hunt it down. I'm sure I kept it . . . but haven't seen it in a while.

I'm asking $175. * * * * NOW REDUCED $145!!! This INCLUDES PayPal fee and USPS Priority shipping within the USA.

Hi Mahira!
The underbust (bottom edge of top) can stretch out to absolute max of 38.
