OK, this is the hardest one so far to let go of -- lots of memories! In spite of being told I'm short-waisted, in spite of the cups being a bit large, I loved this costume and loved it well! And a testament to Pharaonics' quality--the only thing keeping it from looking absolutely new on the outside is the one large crystal that is missing. I sewed hooks along the bottom edge of the bra for a body stocking, and the top of the chiffon skirt where the elastic casing is shows some wear, as does the underskirt (which I hemmed). (this won't show, it's under the belt)
I pulled this out mainly for Jewels, who is looking for something that fits this description:

Give me a minute & I'll pop in the link for 15 more detailed pix--here's an idea:
BRA: 34 up to a FULL C (VERY full C if you take out the light padding). Cups measure 7x8 inside, 7-1/2 x 8 outside) BELT: 40-1/2" end to end, 42" if you include the centerpiece. Can be adjusted by overlapping more than it is now.
SKIRT: Elastic casing at the top, 26-45", length is 36-37" (so full I can't get it all on camera, so I didn't try)! Wired hem,unbelievable for spinning. Comes with 2 arm pieces & 2 ankle pieces. (no veil--if there was one, I don't remember; I usually use silk).
NOTE: THE MISSING CRYSTAL IS 1" high and 1-1/2" wide (HUGE OVAL)--I may be able to find one at a bead store in San Francisco--otherwise, I will discount it. I was going to post it for $675 including shipping (within US only), but if you want to find one on your own, I will take off $25 for the time & effort to do that. This is a costume that I doubt will be made again--the details are extraordinary.......it's "fully loaded"! REDUCED PRICE 575 PLUS 10 TO SHIP WITHIN US
Jewels, you have dibs if you like it.....it was just easier to post a separate thread rather than emailing. Thanks for looking!
