TEAL/DK TURQ SIM--Spectacular color, loaded with crystals!

naiyahayal · 07-22-2008, 06:48 PM

SOLD How to describe this color!? Between teal and dark turquoise. Delicious color and soooooo many large AB crystals! I would never sell it if it were just a bit smaller....but I've been in denial over the cups. I did dance in it once for seven minutes....

BRA; 35-41", cups measure 7'' up/down, 8-1/2" across (I'm a B and I had to stuff like you wouldn't believe, so I'm guessing it's at least a large C). Stretches along the ribcage. SKIRT: 26-36" at the upper hip (I sewed the lattice part together at the top to make the skirt smaller in that area, but you can let that back out). 36-42" app. at the lower hip. (lattice design at the sides). Length: 34-38". There is one stone coming lose that just needs to be tacked back down. Otherwise in excellent condition and only danced in that one time for seven minutes. Comes with turban, two long sleeves with lattice & rhinestone design and a pretty 1/2 circle chiffon veil.

$750, plus $15 to ship priority/insured (very heavy!).
FIRST TO POST WITH INTENT HAS DIBS.... you know the rest!

REDUCED TO $650 PLUS SHIPPING!!

Here one picture to spike your interest, link to details coming......

Hi, Jasani -- thanks for the offer, the Bella looks lovely ..... unfortunately, I could never wear a C/D!

That's the only reason I'm selling this one .... the bra cups are too large (skirt is, too, but that could be more easily fixed....not the bra, 'tho)

Ah!! I was ready to PM you to send a PayPal. This costume has ME all over it! Then I checked the cup measurements

. I'm a true C and all of my cups are about 7" wide x 6.5" tall, give or take 1/2 inch.

But 8-1/2" wide? The bra in the photos "looks" like my size, but I know I can't go off of that. Also, can you explain how the skirt length varies from "34-38"? I'm a 38".

I soooo want this to work, but don't want to end up with exactly the same wishful thinking situation you're in

.

Hi, Suzanna -- thanks for your interest ..... just headed out the door to go rehearse the troupe, then off to work ...... I'll try to answer your questions tonight, ok? I'm a B, so it sounds like the cups would work, but let me see if I can get more details -- also on the skirt...... You have dibs if you still would like the costume--no pressure--I'll get back to Bhuz tonight. (Around 7 or 8 PM -- SF time

)

naiyahayal · 07-24-2008, 10:08 AM

Hi, Suzanna -- I remeasured the cups to be sure .... it's a little hard to explain, because the top part of the cup kind of curves over the booby, so it's a deep cup that can be stuffed a lot -- not shallow. That accounts for the inches, really. Best I can explain is I recently bought a pink Bella from TanyaLV--I believe she is a full C -- the cups are heavily padded and have exactly the same cup measurements. And although it would be more ideal for a C, I am able to wear it with lots pf padding. As far as the length, I measured once from the top of the 'dip' to the hem and also at the sides -- so of course, the measurement in the middle is shorter. I usually need 38" and it's just right for me.....

I took out the couple of stitches I used to make it smaller -- absolute max would be 40" -- although the style is such that you could extend it because of the lattice design......

If anyone is interested in seeing this costume in person, I'll have it with me at Tatseena's Belly Dance Fantasy Festival in San Leandro Aug 2/3 ... it's the booth with bindis, hairpieces and John's Austrian crystal hangers & jewelry.....I think this is a costume that really needs to be seen in person, it truly is spectacular, it just doesn't show up in the pics at all....

naiyahayal · 07-25-2008, 02:26 PM

So Suzanna and Moonsoondancer, I'm assuming your passing? I'll pack her up for the show then!

naiyahayal · 07-26-2008, 12:38 PM

ok, took more measurements for Suzanna and Monsoondancer a couple days ago, but haven't gotten a response, so I'm assuming you ladies aren't interested........packing up for the show, so this one will be off the board on Monday!

planetsuzanna · 07-27-2008, 03:12 PM
