Purple Pharaonics Only $400

I bought this costume from Khaleela a few days ago, and unfortunately this costume is too big! I am so dissapointed because I loved the color & style of this costume, but I would have to put too much for into it.

Measurements:

Bra
38 inches wide
I have a 28 inch underbust and that's the smallest the bra can fit
C/D cup
I had a friend try on the bra and she is a DD, it fit her fine
The bra has sleeves attached to it, which I don't think would be hard to remove

Skirt
Should fit 36 inch upper hip and up
I am a 35 and it would not stop falling off my hips
The skirt comes with straps that wrap around your upper hips/ abs which I thought were really cute
Length:
35 inches back
36-37 front

Bummer Sonya! It would have been perfect. Ladies this costume really is gorgeous and what a deal! Maybe someone has a costume of the same color that they might trade you for?

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

OMG! I love this. I have a hard time with length. Do you think it would be long enough for me, being 5'9? Also would the hip stretch to 41?

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

i have this in green and it is GORGEOUS! i had the same problem with the first time i custom ordered it. all of the beading is so heavy, if it's not a tight fit, it will fall off!

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

*sigh* i'm glaf you feel my pain, latriamou.i really liked this costume but with the way it fits, no matter how much i adjust everything...it will STILL look like it is not meant for me..or atleast imo

ANDALEE-i am 5`6'' and it is too short for me. so it will definitely not be long enough for you.BUT you can always add ruffles to the bottom of the skirt or wear a chiffon skirt underneath to jazz it up.oh and it will definitely fit a 41'' hip :)

Sorry too short...everything is too short for me and I don't like to pay money for stuff that I have to alter anyway. Thanks though...it is amazing.

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

It is beautiful! And the top and length are good for me

Can you provide more hip measurements? (stretched and unstretched) I may want to be first in line!

(I just checked out your profile and you are from my home town! I'm in Columbus now..)

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

im sure she means 14-24 each side right? back and front? meaning it would be 28-48? Hell even 28 hips would be freaking small!! I cant imagine 14...

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

oh yeah on each side, i mean it wouldn't stay on my 35 inch upper hips, it will fit someone with a larger upper hip than mine and will definitely fit a 41 inch lower hip

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

You can actually make this skirt tighter by opening the waistband and pulling the elastic tighter. These skirts are super heavy especially with the extra flap pieces in the front.

Sonya I wish this one would have fit you better because it looks great on you. The color and the style compliment you very well.

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

Khaleela- My friend told me to tighten it, but aside from that I'd have to add length to the skirt and the bra, at it's tightest is till loose around me ribs, simpe because my boobs aren't big enough lol.it's just so much work to do, i just think this costume will better fit someone else :(

Ravena Designs-So nice to hear from you again, you are more than welcome to stalk my thread...even more welcome to buy it or suggest it to someone else ;)

Re: Purple Pharaonics Only $400

Hey Sonya,

I was just mentioning tightening the elastic in general for someone with slightly larger hips. From the pics, it's obvious that you would have to do a lot of surgery to the costume to make it work.

Amber Moon, so far this costume is on hold for Superbunny. But I think my friend is a 34 underbust...
