Now on EBAY for $9.99 Swirling Burgundy BELLA Costume - Petite

[tinasargent]

This is a gorgeous Bella costume that I bought from their shop in Istanbul back in the 90s. While I love it, I am more of a mermaid skirt or straight skirt person, so I never wore it that much, which means it's in great shape! It doesn't appear to be a very typical design by Bella(very different from what you see these days), but it definitely has Turkish flair with its swirling designs and V-cut belt.
The costume includes a bra, belt with attached pleated chiffon skirt, beaded gauntlets, and a beaded turban. The design features brilliant garnet rhinestone medallions incorporated into beaded paisley appliques, which are found on every part of the costume. The costume is also heavily decorated with burgundy AB beads and burgundy and silver beaded fringe with fringe looped and draped on the sides. Very flattering!
--The bra currently fits a 32D/34C. It measures 32 inches under the bust. The shoulder straps measure 14.5 inches and could be extended by at least 2 inches.
--The hip measurement on the skirt is a little hard to figure out accurately because the belt has such a steep V to it. It could probably fit up to a 34" upper hip. The length of the skirt from the top of the belt in the front (the lowest point) is 31.5", and from the top of the belt on the side (the highest point) is 34".
--The gauntlets measure 17.5" long and 10.5" wide at the top and 7.5" around the wrist.

This costume is in used but great condition, and it is chalk full of rhinestones. I originally paid over $700 for it, so I am asking for $395 OBO + actual shipping charges. Contact me for a shipping quote. I really hope to find a new home for this baby because it deserves to be seen and loved!









Thanks for looking,
Tina

Ok, you all, I decided last night that I NEED to clear out my closet regardless of how much I get for my costumes. You can say that I am *really* motivated to sell, which is why I have listed this beautiful high-end BELLA for $9.99 on Ebay.

At that price, you could buy the costume and turn around and flip it to one of your students and make a profit!! This costume was originally over $700, and that was back in the 90s. It's in great shape because I never wore it that much.

That would be nice, but I listed it so low just so that I could be sure to find a new owner. This costume needs to be dancing and not hanging out in my closet!!
