A beloved vintage bella for sale......
Bought new from Dahlal many years ago, it's a testament to the extraordinary quality of Bella...... danced in quite a few times, I can't find a single sequin, bead or strand that is broken or missing! Only real sign of wear is a bit of discoloration of the lining inside the bra, and I did add hooks and snaps to the bra and belt--hooks in the bra for body stocking purposes. And I sewed the two parts of the shoulder part together, but the few stitches can be removed so it is more "off the shoulder." There is wiring inside the edges of the bra and belt so you can mold the costume to your body! The cups are not padded and are a perfect B. Shades of purple iris, lavender, lilac and pink. So I danced in it one more time a few weeks ago, hugged it, and let it go.......
BRA: 34B (cups measure 6-1/2" across, 7" up/down). BELT is in two pieces, 19" each along the upper edge, end to end. 38", but of course allow for a little overlap. Includes two beautiful arm cuffs and a necklace or headpiece, depending how you want to wear it.
The pics make it seem more blue, but it's really overall lilac/purple/lavender/pink. $600 includes priority shipping within US.
FINAL SALE--Thanks for looking! First to POST HERE with "I'll take it" has dibs.
PICS COMING!

No pictures that were taken with a digital camera, sniff! I've tried scanning photos ...... I don't know if it's me, or the scanner, but so far I can't get good pics that way ....... sniff ......

Yeah- up a creek without a paddle!! 
I guess at least we can be thankful we have something of value to help dig ourselves out of the hole with-- regardless of whether that's how we got in the hole in the first place!

Hi, Salome -- HannanSultan is looking for a more modern Bella, so this one is still available -- are you able to see the pics when you get home? There is no hurry, and I'll be taking some more pics anyway -- thanks for the interest! It's much sparklier and prettier in person (I think I need a newer camera soon!)
