Eman Mini- ALL metal mesh! (from Leila) SOLD!

SamiraShuruk · 02-10-2008, 03:34 AM

This is a one of a kind Eman, made for Leila. I wore it once.
The bra is covered in gold metal mesh with beautiful crystals lining the upper edge, the straps and around the back. Some are green, some crystal clear and some gold. The crystals are encircled in rhinestones.
The skirt- also entirely gold metal mesh has matching rhinestone circled crystals all around the top edge. The gold catches the light like crazy. This is built over an under skirt in a sparkling green dot fabric. It has just enough long metal mesh fringes to catch your movement yet without taking away from the clean lines of this costume.
It comes with matching green shorts AND a green waist strap that has two of the large crystals and rhinestones (pictures upon request).
It is missing one crystal from the skirt. I'm sure easily replaced.
I'll add more specific measurements tomorrow...but for now:
it's VERY padded- I'm a 34B. It CAME padded for a C, so I added more padding. There are a couple extra inches around the back.
My upper hip is 33.5". It has a smaller hook, but really could not go bigger.
I'm 5'5". Leila is much taller and wore it slightly higher, so the mini was mid thigh on her.
$475 plus shipping.

Thanks for the oh so nice comments ladies! :) it IS a great costume and I love it. I just am not as comfortable dancing in a miniskirt and I know there are dancers who are. It needs to belong to someone who will wear it more than I will. It's too fabulous to be sitting at home.

WOW! Why are you selling it?!?! It great on you. If the hips weren't so tiny I would get it. Im going to have to call Eman and have her make me one of those, really stunning!

aazura · 02-13-2008, 08:25 AM

Damn, I might just have to have this! Today is moving day, though... so I must resist. If it's still available when I settle on the west coast, I'll check the finances. *pout* I know it will be gone by then. :-(

SamiraShuruk · 02-13-2008, 10:25 AM

Aazura, good luck with your move!

I put it up on ebay before I saw your post

(bump) 2 days left on ebay.

delicia · 02-17-2008, 05:11 PM

Does this costume have any accessories like arm bands or wrist bands?

SamiraShuruk · 02-17-2008, 09:08 PM

It comes with a waist strap that didn't look right on me. The waist strap is made from two medallions atop each other, with two strands of the green dot fabric and one strand of rhinestones encircling the waist. If you scroll to the 5th picture down, there is a pic of Leila with the waist strap (you can't see the rhinestone strand in the pic. The lighting is not the greatest).
PROMOTIONS
If I was choosing to keep the costume I'd use the waist strap to make accessories. I thought about making a choker- but the medallions (that are big gems with 3 rows of rhinestones around them) can easily be separated if you wanted to make two arm bands.

I know I could rock this, but I just finished spending $1000 buying two costumes. I'm looking at this and I want it, but I can't afford another one. The only thing I could do is swap and pay the difference. The only costume I want to get rid of is a lilac dress only because I don't wear it enough. Every time I try it on, I don't want to take it off because it's so glamorous, but I don't really wear dresses, so what's the point in keeping it. If you're interested, let me know. I'm sure you saw it posted. If not, here's the link:

Delicia,
You would look totally amazing in the metal mesh. Unfortunately I can't do a trade right now- I'm selling a dress myself ('cos I too don't get enough wear out of most dresses, no matter how stunning they are)- and I need the money towards another costume I have on hold. We're all hopeless addicts! I'm sorry. The lilac gown is beautiful!
