Too small, too small

It's beautiful, really sad it wouldn't fit me, so here's a bump for your beautiful costume.

may have more room actually in the upper hip...

So pretty! Too bad it's too big for you, Zhanna - it looks great!

Love this! And just a thought... I have a costume almost exactly the same from Bella with the upper hip being much too large as well. What I did to make it fit was i played with zipper. It's hard to explain without showing but I basically removed the zipper then sewed together the two peices maybe an inch or so then I overlapped the top of the skirt with one eye hook on outside and another on inside so the skirt still laid straight and flat on my hip. I also removed all the big rhinestones that would be in the overlap, and thus hidden anyways, so it would lay smooth. I then added the normal elastic casings on the side to give it a little more hold and volia! it fits!

I don't know if this is much too much too big so it might not work but it's worth a try. Before committing to big sewing, just zip it up half way or so and try overlapping top, experiment with different levels of being zipped and see if it will work for you too.

Thank you Lauren,
I would do all that and more, but its just that everything is too big the bra, the skirt, but the biggest issue for me is that I need brighter colors, coz im so pale this costume washes me out! Plus I just bought two new Bellas in Istanbul :) So need to sell this beauty!! :)

That was the original design, but I asked her to do without pink...

Oh no I didn't realize it was that off! That's so sad. She always gets my lengths wrong on my skirts though thankfully always too long so I can repair it. I'll pass the costume on to other dancers here, hopefully someone nibbles

Well it was partially my fault though, bcs I was so afraid she'll make it too small and tight like the Bella so I gave her a little bigger measurements than my actuall ones.. But I didnt realize that with these skirts you need to be more precise, bcs it's harder to get them to fit you, they are beade all over...But hopefully this beauty will find a new home! :)

Needs a new home

This is gorgeous!

oh quick question? Is the bra lined with opaque fabric or sheer? For the openings I mean.

Sheer, it's the classical legend costumes bra, has 36 AB swarovski stones that dont show in the picture, plus rhinestone chains in every swirl!!! This costume is a piece of Art! And the price is amazing! You wont get that price if you order from the website, at least $800 or more...And it will take a few weeks or so.. I'm open to payment plans also!

I cant believe it's still here
