I am selling this costume for my friend - she hardly has time to get to the internet, let alone check posts, take pictures, etc, so I'm trying to help her out.
Kelly Green Bella
SOLD
Includes: Bra, skirt, 2 sleeves and a veil
Measurements:Bra: 34" end to end. C cup I believe, (measurements of cups: top outer corner to bottom inner corner: 7" straight across. Vertically in the middle 6" straight across. I can't measure the inside because it is currently padded for a B. It can probably work with an A with more padding, and maybe even a small D without padding and lots of cleavage. I can unstitch the lining, take out the padding and measure with the curves if someone really needs me to do so.
Skirt: upper hip 33" max (does not stretch), lower hip stretches to approx 42" Length: 37 - 39". It may esiliy be be shortened, the bottom is not decorated (just cut and hem). For reference: dancer in picture is 5'8".
Veil: 2 and 3/4 yard half circle.
The costume is gently used, in very good condition. There were 3 owners, the first one barely used it (once twice maybe) the second owner had it for a while, used it a few times, and the 3rd (current) owner has done the same thing.
Wear and tear:
Bra: there are 4 places where the sequin-bead design has come undone, but at each place it's only 1 sequin and bead. 2 of these are not even visible while wearing because it is under the over lap of the straps.Other than that all the beads, rhine stones, etc are in place. (I can take pictrues tomorrow morning).
Skirt: nothing is missing, but the the chiffon part of the skirt is the type of chiffon that is more thin than usual. My friend used an under skirt with the costume. In the picture she's wearing it without the underskirt. The skirt does not have any snags, or anything, but it does wrinkle easily. If it was mine I would try to wash just the chiffon part.
The costume is basically as brandnew, except for the missing sequins as described above. The color is very vibrant, beautiful green, much prettier than in the picture. The picture washes it out a little.
She's asking $550. You can Paypal me, and I will mail it to you, + actual shipping + insurance.
