Pharaonics Karma Blue ON HOLD

haleemachandani · 02-26-2008, 03:04 PM

OH HOLD - for me, I don't think I want to sell it just yet...Gorgeous and elegant! Blue Pharaonics "Karma" as it's called on Dahlal's site has been worn only twice and is in stellar condition. Pretty beadwork with lots of crystals and daring cut-outs make it a unique costume.
Bra - ribcage is 34" long, I've added pads for an A, remove padding for B or small C, cups measure 6" top to bottom and 7" across
Skirt - top stretches from 28 - 36", lower hips from 32 to 40",
Skirt length is 37.5 (I hemmed it about 2 inches, so could easily be let out if you need it longer than 37.5 - I think the original length is 40")
Also comes with an upper arm band, long gauntlet, anklets, headband, nylon boy shorts, and shimmery entrance veil.
I wore it backwards - at least I think it's backwards because the tag is in the front. I thought it worked better with the design. So I cut off the sparklies on the boy shorts and sewed them on the other side to make them match up with the cut-out over the left leg.

Post here if interested!

$625 Reduced to $600 Paypal only please. Shipping is included in the U.S. Elsewhere post destination here for a quote.

Please excuse my super-ratty hair! Apologies.

This is beautiful and it is my size...but my wallet has too many bills coming up right now. I love the design!

when you measured the bra cups, did you measure inside the cups (with the padding?) or over teh cups, on the outside part of the costume?

Everything would fit, but the bra is right at the line of too small for me.

not to mention, i might have to sell a kidney or something....

would you consider a partial trade? have a Sahar tan basic that is too small for me...

Hi Kina! I measured inside. The pads are the kind I get at JoAnn fabric and they're only tacked in at the corners, not sewn under the lining. So I just pushed them up out of the way to measure, and they're easy to remove. I can take a picture tonight if that would help to visualize.

I'd love to have a Sahar but I'm not sure tan is a good shade for me. Plus I kinda just need the $ right now. But... do you have any pics?

I'm one of Leyla's students from Midnight Soleil, and I remember seeing you wearing this in Cleveland at the show Cassandra held last fall. This costume is absolutely STUNNING! It has the most amazing color and is extremely elegant, a class of its own. If I had the money I would buy this right away!

Thanks Sonya. I do love the color of this. One of the reasons I'm selling it is to try to get the cash to buy Leyla's red Eman.

s'ok, I don't have any pics, but it's identical in fabric to teh one that is posted right now on the site, but has the halter bra, not the floating one.

If you decide you might be interested in trading, let me know in the next day or so, I have to return said costume and get another.

Thanks!

So tempted. I've been back and forth on this all day and decided I'm going to pass on the Sahar. Now I'm having second thoughts on selling this one. Sorry to be so flaky I'm just having a bit of costume-phrenia lately.
