    Turquoise/Silver Madam Abla(?) $350

    IMG_9402-151.jpgBeautiful, Sparkly, Turquoise/ Silver Madam Abla(?)

    I purchased this costume from someone who purchased it on Bhuz so if it looks familiar and you have any extra info....great! We think it is a Madam Abla....but I am not an expert on designers.

    Bra Length: 34" Original + 3" hook extension
    Bra Cup: H-7", V-6", D-7"
    Cup to Cup: 13"
    I loosely added an accessory between the cups to add a little more coverage. See Pic.

    Belt (Really unfamiliar with measuring these kind out so let me know if this sounds correct)
    Not stretched: Upper 28", Lower 36"
    Stretched(and measured clumsily): Upper 36", Lower 44"

    Includes Skirt and Veil.

    Skirt Disclaimer:
    When I purchased this costume the skirt had some issues. It was attached to the belt about halfway down, and was uneven in length. I detached the skirt from the belt and had it lined (lining is NOT sheer....this is good for people who like a little more coverage for the gams). I intended to add a top panel and waist band in order to be able to wear the skirt on my hips but the seamstress and I had a miscommunication and the skirt came back with a lining and waist band without the extension panel. Now the skirt is 32". Great for someone who is shorter but you can still reattach it to the belt like it was originally. There is still a little unevenness around the bottom of the skirt but it can be tacked up.
    This has been a fun costume but the belt shape is not the right shape for my body. :(

    Price: $350+Shipping

    Something about this costume reminds me of the turquoise costume Samia Gamal wears in Ali Baba. I wonder how hard it would be to convert this belt style to be like that one?

    Ooh! Pretty! You are right, they do resemble each other. A few owners ago it appears they did a bit of gathering to bring the front of the belt up a bit. I had considered doing even more throughout but alas, I am too lazy. :)
