I've been looking and looking and looking at costumes. Was "this close" to ordering one from Audrena during one of her recent $600 sales, but I don't want to wait 3 months (or more). So, I've drawn up some specs with the idea that someone out there has just the right costume that they're ready to sell to me.
33" underbust - so need 35" or more bra band
C cup (full coverage, no demi-cups)
- I prefer fringe hanging from the bra to NOT be silver or gold - my pale tummy needs more color
- I like
some fringe from the bra at least, because I have a long torso
37" upper hip
39" lower hip
38" skirt length (37" may be do-able)
- skirt doesn't have to be full chiffon, but I'm not keen on super tight lycra on my behind
Color preferences
216 color chart (chart colors are approximate, your monitor won't look the same as mine):
hot pink/fuschia (FF3399 or CC0066)
royal blue (3333FF)
periwinkle (6666FF)
violet (9933FF)
red (true red, not orange-red)
The examples I've posted below are mostly Pharaonics, but I don't have to have a Pharaonics. A sparkly bedlah on its own would be great, I can come up with skirts. Accessories are definitely a bonus.
"Egyptian Beauty" on Dahlal.com in fuschia or royal; "Golden Oasis" on Audrena.com

There are many more that I like, but I think I've made this long enough already, don't you?
