Petite Flower Sahar - Off the Market for Now :)

[Mirabai]

Coloring - Dark blue with light blue/yellow.
Design - RUFFLED skirt, beaded, clear crystals, long strands of silver beads. BRA: 27-32 C (6 up/down, 7-1/2" across cup size).
SKIRT: 24-30 upper hip, 24-36 lower hip (slit, so that helps!), 36 length. includes 2 sleeves!

$800 includes shipping within US

I love this costume, but I'm a 34B and have padded it to the max and still get boob-cup separation. Usually I would move the straps in a little to solve this problem, but some of the beading goes over the strap and the bra, so moving the halter straps in a little would be more major than usual. The only thing I can think is that this costume requires a full B or C.

but it looks so lovely on you. padding a sahar.. now that's a first! LOL all of mine came padded to the hilt!

[Mirabai]

I had to pad it more!! Dare I admit it? I thought that might help stop the gap happening between the bra and the girls. But I've padded too much and still I get the gap :( If it doesn't sell, I'll attempt the surgery of moving the straps in a bit. I just think that might ruin the design...

[latriamou]

you might be able to add a set of clear straps in the position you need to help close the gap. I've done it to one of my emans and it's not visible from stage. that might work and you won't have to undo or move the straps.

So sorry it didn't work out ..... you saw this one in person, didn't you, Amartia? It is sooooo pretty.

[latriamou]

yes i did, which is why i'm trying to help her keep it! :-)

I have had to move the straps on most of my Sahars to prevent the gap. The straps are set too wide for my narrow ribcage, but once the straps are moved, they are perfect and no gapping! I have had to redo the beading on the straps as well, and it was a bit of a pain, but entirely doable!

[naiyahayal]

That explains why I don't have that problem....the bras are a dream for me....I don't have a narrow ribcage. 'cause I was thinking, it seemed like a perfect B cup bra. That explains it!

GOOD tip.

Emans can be so unpaddable it's not even funny. I'm gonna have to try this one!

[Mirabai]

Gotcha. This is the case with Emans for me, too. But usually I can do some surgery between the cups to bring them closer, as well as with the straps. I can't do the between-the-cups procedure with the Sahars, so moving the straps in doesn't always work. It didn't quite work on the sky blue one I got... so I added feathers to hide the gap!! I don't want to add feathers again. Thought about adding orchids or something... maybe I will try moving the straps. Can I just tell you how sick I am of performing surgery on the costumes I get?

You all are convincing me, though, to try working on the straps on this one ... though it will probably sit around for a while til I work up the ambition

Sheeze. Okay. It's off the market for now

PS - I've done both these surgeries on the gold eman (moving in the cups and moving in the straps), so i bet it would work like a charm for you!! Nudge. Nuge!

[naiyahayal]

Just one more little nudge .... 'cause you really do look like a dream in this costume ..... how about a rhinestone pin or a matching flower to cover the gap? That can actually enhance the costume ..... ?

TELL me about it. Small boobies will be the death of me....I'm constantly ripping apart, adjusting, and padding my bras.

The feathers sound like a cool fix for gappage. Maybe I'll try that on my Eman!

Don't tempt me with the gold shimmer....*cups hands over ears* LALALALALALA, I can't hear you!

Whew! That was CLOSE ...... someone had to save Mirabai from herself .... I think we did a good job -- sorry, Mirabai, but it's just too perfect for you!
