white bra/belt & mermaid skirt

Mostly White

Asking $155 plus shipping

I bought this where the dancer stated it was *new* but I don't think it was. I had to fix some stray sequin and I added the center piece on the bra. I have performed in this twice and just don't see it getting much wear. I primarily dance with a group and white just doesn't fit in with the theme.

I can take more detailed measurements if anyone wants them.
I'm a 34 C with 37 upper hip measurement and 40-42" lower (depending on the day)
B/C will be fine. Definitely will not fit a D cup!

Mermaid Skirt $35 plus shipping
I love this skirt. It is incredibly stunning and has an iridescent look.

Gauntlets $8 plus shipping
Will sell separately if Skirt buyer doesn't want them~!

The earliest I would be able to ship this would be early next week. I have a busy week. Trying to see if there is interest and trying to get some money for my wedding planning :)

You mean you're not wearing this to get married in, lol? It's very pretty. Maybe you should dance at your reception!

Re: white bra/belt & mermaid skirt

Haha, I will not be dancing at my wedding. I might have some dancers, but not me!

Nasila- I am pretty sure it will go to 39". I believe the length is 37-39 inches. I will give you exact measurements when I can touch it. I really love this skirt! Are you interested in both, or just the skirt? I hope to sell the bra/belt before the skirt because if I can't get rid of it, I need a skirt to wear with it.

Re: white bra/belt & mermaid skirt

Hi, there! If the skirt is still available, may I buy it? Thanks! Got a bra/belt that would match perfectly ........ (not sure where I am in line, but got my button on PayPal if available!)

Re: white bra/belt & mermaid skirt

I think I'll leave the skirt for Naiya (if the bedlah measurements work for zfejzic). I just found a brown one...lol

In line for the skirt if it doesn't work for Naiya. I think it's really lovely.

Re: white bra/belt & mermaid skirt

Jenna, is it ok to send PayPal for the skirt then? I'll check a bit later --I can send $ tonight.

If yes, I can let Sonja know if it doesn't work out ...... thanks!

belt is a little over 39" at the top edge...
bra end to end is a little under 37"
straps are HUGE. they are doubled over doubled around the neck so there is room for anyone. I have it set at 14" on one side and 12" on the other side

I just remembered that I have gauntlets that match the top part of the skirt material. I will take pictures tonight- They are a bit different then I'm used to, but they still match. I will post pics. I prefer to wait to sell the skirt until I sell the bra. I will keep you at the top of the list naiyahayal. Are you in a hurry for this?

I wanted to keep the skirt and sell the bra/belt, but I"m not sure what i'd do with a white skirt without a white costume.... makes sense.

Hi, Jennah -- in no hurry, but would absolutely love to buy it if possible. It looks like a PERFECT match for something I've got!! Thanks so much --will wait to hear from you! Naiya

sorry to be a pain but how huge are the straps exactly? and is that little flower applique in the middle still there (one of your pics shows it w/o it). are there any accessories that came w/the set?

Questions are never a pain! It is always good to have all the details.
I can guest-imate the strap length when I get home- my guess is the owner before me converted it from over the shoulder to halter. That leaves a lot of extra space. I was considering removing one of the straps on the side. If I had to guess without looking again I would say each side is about 23" long. That sounds about right for over the shoulder straps.

the little flower in the middle is actually a rhinestone button. I bought the bra/belt plain without it, but thought it could use something to focus on the center. I added this myself and it will be included with the set. If you want me to remove it, I can, but it is easily removed so I would wait and see what you think. I posted for opinions on bhuz awhile back and most people liked it with opposed to without.

I should say that I've had this for about a year now, but have only worn it 3 times that I can remember. Its really sharp and sparklie....I'm just too white and pale to wear white anymore!
