Red Neckelmann's and Blue Egyptian $150 each

MickiT · 09-27-2008, 11:09 PM

SOLDRed Neckelmann's is one I bought one E-bay and it never quite fit.
Top is 34 B/C , belt is 39". I have a basic red chiffon skirt with it that is 36" long and stretches to 42". I will check, but I think it has a neck piece with it as well. Pd $200 for it, but would take $150 + shipping.

OFF MARKETBlue and Gold set also bought used off E-bay. I wore it for one 4 minute performance. Also in good shape. Top is 40" end to end and is a C/D cup. I took the bottom row of fringe off of the top. I still have all of the fringe if you want it. The belt was 2 pieces with the front 22" and the back 23". I changed the belt from the pictures. I sewed the front and back together for ease of taking it on and off and re-lined the whole fresh. This made the total length 41". Where the belt came up to two peaks front and back, I folded it over and so now it still dips down in front, but doesn't have the taller peaks. This was a much more flattering look on me. Photos show the difference of before and after. I didn't cut anything and so if you prefer it the other way it could all be undone just by taking the new lining off and letting the stitching out. This would make the belt a possible 45". All of the beading and sequins on this are in great shape. I have tried to resize the pics for the changed costume and so far haven't been able to get them posted. If you want pics of the costume as it is now pm me and I will e-mail you additional pictures.
Asking $150 + shipping

the red one is cute, any stats for the cups? and pics for skirt? thx

MickiT · 09-28-2008, 02:12 AM

I will look through my pics and see if I have one of the skirt. It is a most basic skirt that came with it when I got it. As far as stats on the bra, are you wanting inside measurements? I will get it and check and get back with you.

MickiT · 09-28-2008, 03:08 AM

Cannieyau,
It looks like the bra measures about 5 1/2 from top center to bottom center and about 7 1/2 across the center from side to side. I have never worn this set but have one similar and they are comfy. It is built on a regular underwire bra and it is a soft cup. On my other one I added a firmer pad on the inside for some added shaping.

Maybe these pics will help.

MickiT · 09-29-2008, 09:02 AM

Bump!

MickiT · 09-29-2008, 11:07 PM

Hi cannieyau. Are you still interested in the Red costume?

MickiT · 10-01-2008, 02:50 PM

There is a seam on the outside that runs across the middle of the cup, but the cup is not pointy at all and it is very subtle because of the beading and the velvet. When I get home tonight I can take a close up picture of that part and send you the detail of it. Ii hadn't even really noticed it and had to double check it to be sure. Just didn't have time now to take and download pics for you. I will do it later though.

cannieyau · 10-02-2008, 11:50 AM

Oh, I'm sorry to say I have to pass because my friend's got me a red costume from Japan. Thx so much for uploading the pics and so sorry to hang it up long.

MickiT · 10-02-2008, 04:25 PM

Thanks for the reply. I'm just glad you got a new red costume. Nothing better than waiting for a new costume to come. Well, except maybe when it arrives and you are tearing it open!

MickiT · 10-03-2008, 09:52 AM

Rahil_al_Zarqa, Are you still interested in the blue set? I took the hold off of it, but if you are interested let me know and I'll put the hold back on it. Thanks.

MickiT · 11-12-2008, 03:29 PM

Both costumes still available.

Thanks Micki for the additional pictures and measurements. The blue is gorgeous and almost a fit! The key word unfortunely is 'almost'. The hips are fine but the bra is the almost part. I'm sure however some male members of the audience wouldn't mind.

But in all seriousness, it's beautiful and if the bra did fit, I'd grab it.

I might be intersted in the blue... this computer moniter is so dark, I'll need to look at it when I get back from work tonight. I will PM you.

_Sarai_ · 11-13-2008, 08:23 PM

Oh, boo. I just realized the measurements are a little too big for me. :-(

MickiT · 11-13-2008, 10:57 PM

Sarai,
Which part of the measurements are too big? Right now the bra top is padded for a C cup as it is with a nice water bra insert. and the belt can be changed down quite a bit since it originally was in two pieces and can be made smaller.

_Sarai_ · 11-13-2008, 11:52 PM

I'd probably need more like a 36 in the hip, but I might be able to take it in... but i reread the bra measurements and while a C cup will fit, I think the band is just to big to give me a secure fit around. My band size is a 34-36. Thats quite a bit to trim from 40.

MickiT · 11-14-2008, 01:29 AM

Sarai,
I actually wear a 36C and my underbust measure is 33. It is actually adjusted to that now. It is at the dance studio and I can't take a pic to show you now, but I will be able to get it Sun. if you can wait 'til then and show you how it is and it is very secure. I actually prefer mine to overlap because then I can put a hook on both sides that overlap making it really secure. Hard to describe, but our instructor always makes us do double hooks for added security. This way nothing needs trimmed off as well so if you ever have to re-sell it will fit a wider range.

ChandaniBD · 11-14-2008, 02:15 AM

I am interested in the red. What kind of fit problems did you have with it? I am 34 small C and have 36 upper hip. Will it work for me with minor adjustments?

_Sarai_ · 11-14-2008, 08:31 AM

Well.... hmmm... You're wearing me down :-)

I'm actually going out of town till Monday (to Texas where it's warm!), so sure, I can wait for pictures. I'd actually love to see it on a body. Don't hold it for me if someone offers to snatch it up in the meantime, but I'll be back tuesday to see whats up.

MickiT · 11-14-2008, 09:45 AM

ChandaniBD,
The set is fine. The problem that I had with it fitting me it that I am really a 36C with a 33 underbust measure and so I was thinging that a 34C might fit, but I am too broad. The set is at the dance studio where I dance, but if you have any more questions or need more pictures I can take more, but it will be Mon before I am there. I'm glad to answer any additional questions for you.

MickiT · 11-14-2008, 09:47 AM

Sarai,
I will get it and take some pictures with it one for you. Thanks for your' patience.
