Pink Joharah Dress - $140

Pink Joharah dress, exact measurements better pics are coming. For reference I am 5'8", 34Dd and 38 hips. Lots of stone work on this one. Description of the red one pictured was taken from kboutique.com is almost identical to this pink one for sale, listed for $415 and sold for $380. Description reads..."Made in Egypt. This costume is bound to turn heads. The shirring underneath the bra gives it a classic touch, hearkening back to Samia Gamal's costumes from the 1940s. The bra is also covered with crystals surrounded by rhinestones. TEN 7/16" true glass crystals, plus many smaller acrylic crystals.
A large mesh inset over right upper back and midriff trails down over the right hip and across the legs to stop at hemline near the left ankle. Beadwork on the mesh area keeps it from being too revealing. The skirt features a unique mesh gore at the center back, giving the dress a light train-like effect which is very elegant.
There is a lot of beadwork on this costume. Primary beads include gold glass twisted bugle beads (these are very reflective and shiny) and red and gold glass seed beads. Primary sequins used are standard red, clear irridescent reds and ambers. The front hip area features three groupings of high quality, crisp and clear irridescent acrylic gems that are 3/16" by 3/8" and a deep rose in color, surrounded by rhinestones. The hip area also has 3"-long pieces of custom fringe using glass seed beads, glass square cut bugle beads, round acrylic beads, and faceted irridescent acrylic teardrops.
The bra closes halter style behind the neck and around the back with two embellished straps. The dress itself dips down to a low back, closing with a zipper.


DRESS FOR SALE IS PINK - pictures of red costume are for reference and clarity until better pics of actual dress are taken and posted. Main difference between red pics and actual pink dress is this:
* The pink Joharah for sale here has almost no beading on the pink mesh along the legs, though the red does.
*The pink dress for sale here has some bead work on the mesh gore in the back, but the red does not.

Note: There is a small pin size hole somewhere along the size of the zipper. Occasionally, the zipper will get caught up in this while zipping yourself up. Does not affect the function of the zipper, but you might want to put a stitch or two to close it. If you can find it - it's tiny.

Re: Pink Joharah Dress - $140

I am 5'5-5'6. Would this be too longfor me? Also could top fit 34/36c; is the halter adjustable?

Shimmytwin - Yes and yes.

Chyzanne - I will double check the length. The bra would fit you and the halter is totally adjustable.

Re: Pink Joharah Dress - $140

OK - here are the measurements...

Bra - cups are 7.5" wide and 5.5" tall. My DD's don't fit in the cups but there is enough rouched fabric coming up off the halter to cover me. Halter straps and back straps are all 111' each.

Hips - LYING FLAT the waist is about 12" unstretched and 17" stretched. Hips are 16" unstretched and 23" stretched. For reference I have a 29" waist, 38" upper hips, 42-43" lower hips and it fit like a glove.

Length- From center of bra to hem is 49".

Noted were some missing beads at hem and bra backstraps. Also some dirt on hem. There are 3 large appliques on mesh at hip for modesty...these could stand a few stitches to tighten.

Detailed pics coming.

Re: Pink Joharah Dress - $140

Hi Jenna. She had more than one dress listed and I had expressed interest on her other post and TahiraDancer posted after me on that thread... that's why she "Bumped for Songofincense and Tahiradancer" and why we were in que already (notice the 'bump' was before your original post.) Chyzanne passed in the other thread, I'm not sure about Shimmytwin.
Blessings,
Rach

Re: Pink Joharah Dress - $140

Thank you Rachel for the clarification :-)
I was not following anything on the other thread. Tahira is a friend of mine actually...I will have to bug her about where she is at with the costume ;-). Tahira?! where are you...actually aren't you out of town right now?
