Quintessential Bella SPIDER Dress - Now on Ebay - $499

[tinasargent]

Hi all,
This costume is a classic Bella costume. You can even see it in the header of the Bella website:
BellaCostumes
Nadira told me that I was not allowed to sell this costume, and while I am not in a huge hurry to see it go, I am thinking it might be time for this beauty to inspire someone else.















Measurements:
Top - Built in bra originally was 38B. I had requested a 34C, so I cut out the extra material and resewed the hook part of the bra to the altered edges. I am a 32D/34C, so this is what the current setting would fit.
Neck - 15"
From neck to end of gauntlet - 29" (This could be extended by about 3 inches)
From neck to front center - 7.5" (This could be extended by about 1.25")
Underbust - 27-31"
Waist - 24.5-29"
Hip - 32-37.5"
Length from top of cup to hem - 49"

Here is a video of this costume in action:

As a testament to Bella's quality, this costume is in excellent condition, despite the fact that it is used. It has one flaw, which is a .75" vertical rip in the mesh material at the bottom of the side mesh cutout. This was a very expensive costume, so the starting bid of $499 is very low. Quite a steal!

Just curious: the yellow/gold swirls on this one look different than the one on Bella's site, is it the same costume?

It's not the exact same costume. I had this one custom made for me through Dahlal, and what I have noticed is that whenever you custom order something, it is never exactly like the original. It is a Bella, though. Again, I forgot to take pictures of the tag.

I really wish I was your size Tina, but it is safer (cheaper) for me to be larger. Beautiful and very very cool.

It's all about the mindset. You could, if you wanted to. :)

I could soooo do it!!! But I am an Amazon, and aside from it not fitting...I would scare everyone to death if I came within 5 feet of them in this!

[SummerSahar]

Oh I love this. Whoever buys it needs to wear a clip-in spider barrette in their hair!!!! How much would that rock?!

[thaliadances]

If this fit, I would ALL OVER THIS!!!!!!!!!

Ah well, I'd like to think that might be true! But unfortunately, it won't quite fit me, either. (sigh!)

[latriamou]

i think it's too short for me. i'm 5ft7 and i wear heels when i dance. i like my costumes to hit the floor.. i need to measure my dress and see how long it is.. i think i usually do 52inches..

[latriamou]

yep i was right. just measured. my fav/only dress is 53inches long from the top of the cup to the bottom

Bummer! Oh well, we tried, huh?

[latriamou]

if it was bigger i would say i could get more length out of it.. but it's my size so i need the length to be perfect....
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
