Bra: Cup C/small D It has cut outs on one side with mesh. The straps have been cut to make into halter and sewn back again for cross back. Underbust is about 33.
Belt: 2 pieces sewn together at one end, with cut outs. Currently set to fit 36", can expand up to a 38" hip
Skirt: A mermaid style with chiffons, 38" in length. There are cut outs on both side of the skirt.
2 arm bands, necklace, hair band and veil

Re: Purple BELLA $700
Oh, I loved that costume! The skirt was my favorite part. Great color.
I am sorry to hear you will be taking a break from dancing! Maybe the bellas should lure you back in?
I'll keep watching this post!!

Re: Purple BELLA $700
I love this costume. If I could afford it I would pounce on it :) sighs.... my hopes for a bella will only be a re-creation I'm afraid...

Re: Purple BELLA $700
As I recall, Shasha's purple was a little bit bigger in the cup.

Good question. Next question!?
Seriously, the bra was a little bit too big, or so I thought at the time. I have a bigger bella bra that I have since stuffed, and it fits beautifully, so I bet I could have made it work. I probably should not have sold it, but now I have a different purple bella, so it would be silly to buy this one back. It is gorgeous. The skirt is fantastic! Boy, do I miss that skirt!
This is the costume I wore when I danced with the MEAI Dance Company for Folklife Festival last year. I love the pictures from the show.
I hope the next dancer enjoys it enormously!

Re: Purple BELLA $700
Sorry gals, I was too tired to watch this thread last night. The cup fits a C cause it covers adequately. As for a B, if you are petite with a short torso, this costume might look "busy" on you. I'm going to read my PM and reply you in a minute!
Alimah: this is my fave costume though I only use the bra and belt and once for skirt and arm bands. Quite sad to say, I would not be dancing for a long time and I don't want to let this costume stay hidden in my closet.
