blue meleya dress, cute and cheap!

[mekyria]

I bought this dress two years ago, used it for an educational bellydance fashion show and that was it. Sequins were originally blue and pink, though some of them are flacking into silver. Zipper has been redone, and there are two light stains in the back near the zipper, hard to see when dress is worn but definetly there. Dress has a black bra tacked to the upper edge on the inside, you could remove it and add your own, or leave it this way. Dress has obviously been worn by previous owner(s) and is in need of a bit of TLC. No loose beading, but most of the sequins have turned into silver.

Size small: european size 36, american size 8. Fabric has no stretch to it.

In the state that this dress is in, I'm asking 25 USD + shipping from europe.

So if anyone wants to use this as a fixerupper, maybe transfer the ruffles to another dress or cut the beading and use them as appliqués, or just wear it for a meleya performance: please give this dress a chance to get out there on stage once more!

If it was my size, I would definitely get it. It's really nice.

It looks like it would be too large for me - I'm more of a size 4 or 6 max and quite short at 5'2". If it weren't for the international shipping, I'd take a chance on it anyway at that price. Hope someone scoops it up!

hi laura, if nobody puts an offer in the next week or so, I might let it go for shipping cost only. I just think it's way too cute to be kept in the back of my closet. I think size 4-6 might work too, the person who modeled it was short and a very small size too.

I am interested! What is the length? The measurement of the fullest part of the bust and the hips? How big are the stains in the back?

If it will fit me, I would like it.

Thanks,

Lisa

Let me know if that turns out to be the case, and what the shipping would be. But I do hope you get to sell it for what you're asking.

Mekyria,

If this is not sold, I am still interested in it if you could help out with the measurements.

I'm interested. How much would postage be to Australia?

[azhaar]

I'm also interested but would like the hip measurements. Ta!

[mekyria]

I'm off to take measurements and PM everyone back. Please bear in mind that we're in different timezones, I'll chek bhuz as often as possible but I still need to sleep [:)]

Sorry, my girls won't fit in it. Hope it fits Lisa and finds a happy home!

[mekyria]

Yeah, the bust measurement is on the small side. That's one of the problems that we had when we tried to find someone to wear it for the fashion show.
