SOLD -Thank you!GOLD RAQIA HASSAN ROCAWEAR INSPIRED --ooak--gorgeous!

[naiyahayal]

Dazzling -- different shades of gold with holo background (NOT glitter dot, this is the fabric itself). One of a kind. I bought a second Boca theme and this one is too long and the cups a big far apart for me --needs a slightly larger ribcage than mine. Very well made and really sparkles. The skirt has a slit and hip "wrap", fuller at the bottom.
BRA: FULL C AT LEAST (or pad more for full B). Cups measure 7" up and down, 8" across, but have space between (the now "famous" cleavage-producing style of bra) - I would put a rhinestone pin between the cups. Under ribcage very stretchy double straps at ribcage, 28-38" at least. Halter rhinestone trimmed halter straps also.
SKIRT: 26-38" upper hip, lower to 40" max. Length: 42-43".

$650 plus $10 to ship priority within U.S.

One Of A Kind.

FRankly, one of my least favorite acronyms...can't figure out why

[shanna]

OOAK = One Of A Kind.

[naiyahayal]

...took me a long time to figure out, too! I used to see it all the time and finally asked someone! I also had to ask about ATS (Amerian Tribal Style), and there are some I still haven't figured out!

[shanna]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA...

Okay I'm sorry... I really am.

Okay not really.

The giant blingy "R's" on the bra and skirt. CRACKING me up.
SOooOOoO gangsta rap.

Watch out for the medallion, my diamonds are reckless...
Feels like a MIDGET is hangin' from my necklace...

LOLZ!

I *love* it. I freakin' LOVE a costume that makes me laugh!! If it was a big ol' "S" I'd buy it in a New York minute.

You can tell Eman and Raqia live next door to each other. I tried on a leopard print Eman Zaki with the same "R" ornament on the bra and skirt. I think it said Rocca Wear??? Totally call me on that if I'm wrong. They must be sharing. I don't why, but the bling factor is kind of growing on me. Very unique costume!

[Mahabellydance]

Heeeey maybe that wasn't even an Eman I tried, but a Raqia! Well, I didn't end up getting it anyway.

[jasani]

LOL! I love that rap, girl you crack me up!

[Mahabellydance]

but you could all see the neurons firing on that one - I digress...

[shanna]

LOL...more wine, dear? ;)

You are totally correct .... it's "Rocawear" not Boca .... not used to this laptop keyboard! And yes, it's based on the rapper line .... very blingy, crazy, but glam unique in a crazy way. The skirt has simple lines otherwise and the background is elegant enough, so I think it works.....

Where is Lili Gamal? She could rock this one with her Coco Channel glasses.

PS -- This is definitely a Raqia, not an Eman! Shahrzad had the other Raqia Bocawear-inspired one I am keeping at the BDC in Las Vegas (leopard print, semi/mini), in case anyone saw it -- I think TanyaLV said she tried it on?
But in any case, they are both Raqia's.

PPS -- in case it doesn't show up in the pics, the star patterns on the skirt are AB rhinestones......

Amira, I PM'd you all the measurments in centimeters -- you are first in line if you like. I know you are in the Netherlands, so here is a time difference....Thanks for your interest!

[rakkasah_barbara]

Oh you will look gorgeous in this Amira

From looking at the pics, I bet if someone did not like the dangling gangsta-bling, they could remove them easily, just leaving the rings in place. It looks like they are attached by a jump ring to the rings, and even if the jump ring is soldered shut, it could be snipped in half easily. The fabric is really pretty, but there is no way I could fill that bra out, not even with tons of padding!!!

You're right about the bling-thing! I actually would like it without, it is very elegant! You know, the cups fit me perfectly (B) -- the problem for me is that little "bar" between the two cups -- a little too far apart for me and that "takes away" the cleavage. Any suggestions? I've had that with a couple other bras -- the cups are perfect, but the little piece makes it a little too wide for my ribcage. Obviously, if it's a soft piece attaching the two cups, I just remove it, but when it's part of the bra itself, like a Sahar? Appreciate any ideas you might have, Ms. Queen of the Sahars!

Well, what I've done with some middle of bras, since I have a small ribcage is to pinch it in and just leave the excess inside. You could also sew the excess down flat to be more comfortable, but it hasn't bothered me any. You can't really tell either.

[naiyahayal]

Amira, I PM'd you, but realized it was probably in the middle of the night over there! I'll check for your answer tomorrow, thanks!

When it is part of the bra itself, you are sort of stuck! What I have done with my Sahars is move the bra straps themselves in - sometimes only 1/4" does the trick. It really makes a big difference in the fit!!
