Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

This is some of THE most gorgeous fabric I have ever seen. This costume is made a little skimpy, but I personally think it looks better when you add some chiffon to make it conservative. Take a look:






Can you see the gorgeous print on the black fabric? I love it!


I just stuck a chiffon veil underneath and I like the way that looks. It's easy to sew it down. Asking $425 skimpy style, or $435 with the turquiose inserts. I can just include extra turquiose chiffon fabric for you to customize it your own way, or ask me to sew it down for you. Here are the measurements:

Bra cup: 6 1/2" top to bottom, 7" widest point
Bra: up to 36B. Too small for a C cup.
Top of Skirt: up to 34"
Arm Bands: 11" widest point (should fit above the elbow)
Length of Skirt: 42", easily adjustable.'
Headband also included.

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

Just a quick poll...

What do you guys think? Better with the chiffon inserts or without them?

I saw that exact costume in pink with ruffles up each slit which provided a lot more coverage.

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

ARe you sure you it won't fit a C with those measurements?....Are the cups measured on the inside? If so, I may make it work...I will check other measurements I may have intent to buy! Thanks

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

I've seen a costume like this before--this style is soooo pretty! As for the chiffon or no chiffon, I think it depends on the dancer. If it were my costume then I'd wear the chiffon--I feel a little too full in the legs for all that flesh to be exposed. But on a super-trim dancer, I think it would look hot without the chiffon.

Could you be referring to my costume, which, coincidentally, is still available for sale?

Metallic Pink Lycra Hanan, very sexy, brand new with tags! $375

I really love this style of skirt. Soooooo hot! I love the black and turquoise of this one. Yummy.

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

Joulya>what fabric is this skirt? How is the length adjustable? I wear about a 36" skirt.

Nimah, is yours still available?

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

Yea, I agree. A conservative dancer will feel more comfy with some chiffon or something to provide a little more coverage. A skinny mini will look nice in it as it is.

Re: Hanan - Black Empress Costume GORGEOUS

The fabric is a stretch lycra. If you look closely at the picture of the back of the costume (above) you will see the print that looks like the style of an oriental empress. I don't know how they make that print but it's not velvet as it may appear in the picture. It's just a fabric print. Does that help?

Why did I write easily adjustable? It's not that easy because there are beads at the bottom. I think I meant for me because I sew and I've done it before with a beaded edge. Anyway, if you are interested, I can alter it for you if you request it.

I am referring to yours! I can't wear such skimpy things myself but I like it without the chiffon. You could add ruched mesh panels with slits.
