Red Pharonics Ring of Desire - $400 (total)

[weese17]

Hi all:

I'm posting this costume for sale again at the request of Josy (Iceland). This is one of the ones that she bought and then couldn't receive thanks to the eff-up with customs.

Red ring of desire -- much loved, and much worn. It's seen a lotta action in its day, but it still looks gorgeous on stage. I'm sure everyone knows what this costume style looks like now, but here are pictures:

I also wore it in the Lessa Fakir video:

Frankly, it's one of my favorite costumes ever - forgiving when you're feeling fat, and always flattering.

I originally listed this for $350 when Josy bought it, but she wants to recoup what she paid in shipping as well (I think almost $50). Whoever buys this will need to arrange for payment directly w/ Josy, but I will ship it.

Comes with the arm band shown in the pics, the headband, two anklets, and two sleeves.

Bra size: 34B to a big 36C
Hips: Anywhere from 39" to 42" (forgiving!)
Long enough to look good on me, and I'm 5'8".

Email me with inquiries - lucydances AT gmail.com. Thanks!

What a be-you-tiful performance! I loved how you danced it - and the costume is lovely too!

Lucy,
I sent you an email to your given addy on Sat afternoon, requesting additional info. For everyone's benefit, could you please give:

- tip of hip (unstretched)
- bottom of hip (unstretched)
- bra cup inside top to bottom
- bra cup inside from outside cup to inside cup

Could the skirt be hemmed from the bottom without losing too much beadwork?

Thanks.

This is why I wish I could find my original post -- I had all those details in there. :) I'll remeasure and take more pics tonight. Thanks!

Could the skirt be hemmed from the bottom without losing too much beadwork? - Yes -- there are at least 4.5" between the beadwork and the hem right now that could easily be trimmed off.

Thanks.

Also, two pictures of the costume - not sure what happened w/ the coloring, but it's red and silver:

Hip bump!

[Tatiana_MED]

Sent you a PM detailing the bra measurement I'm hoping you can give. Not sure if the bra will fit...

Thanks,

[Iceland]

BuMp!

[MellyBelly]

will the upper hip measurements go down to fit 35-36 inches?

[weese17]

Hi Melly:

Yes, they will. Remember that the measurements above are unstretched. :)

[MellyBelly]

ooops sorry, didn't see that post above :P thank you!

Hip bump! Any other info I can give you all? I know that the swap meet is flooded right now.

[weese17]

Bump!

It's beautiful, but even more beautiful is your dancing! If the costume could help me dance like that, I'd pay double!
