High End Purple / Gold Turkish Costume
Bra-Belt/Skirt combo-Headband-2 sleeves

SOLD
This costume has been used and has some wear and tear, which is limited to beads and sequins loosing their gold color, but only in a couple of places.

Measurements:
Bra: 33" end to end, but stretches to 36". C Cup ( 6" X 5" corner to corner and top to bottom straight across, currently padded for a B). Will fit A with more padding. Straps in middle go around neck 12", outer straps are halter style, 10" each. Bra is completely covered with purple and gold beads and gold sequins, 10 medium clear crystals and 4 medium purple crystals.

Flaws: The beads hanging from the middle have large beads at end of each strand - they used to be gold which rubbed off and now they are gray. (If it was me, I would cut off those beads at the end tie the strings).
A very few gold sequins on bra and a lot on the top straps have started to loose their color.

Skirt: Front closure; upper hip 34" + front piece may add 2" by repositioning it and moving the hooks. Currently there's elastic placed at the upper hip.
Lower hip: 35". Length: 37". The belt part is completely decorated the same way as the bra, there are 4 square cut outs on each side. 27 medium size clear crystals, 2 large clear ones, 6 purple medium crystals.
Flaws: some of the beads hanging in the back has lost some shine (same beads as the bra) but not that many and it's not that visible. The skirt is a deep, vibrant purple stretch velvet (in the pictures it shows up more blueish), with 6 chiffon inserts 1/4 circle, and ladder style slits on the side. Bottom of skirt is decorated with gold sequins/beads.

The costume has been used quite a few times, but kept in very good condition. It has a lot of work put into it, very classy and sexy.

She's asking $500 + actual ship/insurance. reduced to $475

I wish my chest were smaller! These are so gorgeous!

[Marianna]

yes, they're gorgeous! I love the blue especially, the bra design is so cool - perfect gathers! I made a costume with the same type of gathers on the bra and I tell ya - it seems easy to do, but in fact it was for me. What I like about the blue bra is that even if you're bigger you won't show as much as you would in a regular halter style bra - so there's som room to work with.

The purple is so heavy from all the beads. The bra and belt area is COMPLETELY covered with beads - so much work.

I know she bought the blue one from Dahlal and the purple one came from Turkey.

I have the blue costume in purple, people love it! I wish I could buy it but it's about 3 sizes too small for me!

Yeah I totally wish the blue would fit, but with a 34DD, I might be pushing it a bit much :)

Both costumes are reduced!
My friend is hoping for getting the money before the the 3rd (the latest) to help pay rent.

Blue costume - $350 instead of $400 - but that's the lowest she can go since the costume cost much much more and it is in excellent condition. Pretty much like new.

Purple - $475 (from $500) I have some new close up pics of the breadwork - will post it on my site in a few minutes.
