Aug/02/08 - Lovely Turkish Costume

The E-bay watch forum has really slowed down, so here's a listing I just came across.

She doesn't say who the designer is, but the beadwork & crystals look to be high quality.

It's gorgeous, but the price seems VERY high for a used costume to me. It definitely looks like a Sim -- but not a recent one, which means it's a couple of years old? I could be wrong about that. Still, you could custom order a new Sim for less than that, couldn't you?

for that style, you could order 2, a brand new custom designed sim would run you about $100 less than what she has the costume listed for.

But it is lovely.

Re: Aug/02/08 - Lovely Turkish Costume

It's amazingly beautiful. I was thinking I would bid on it, but then I saw the price.....waaaay too expensive.

It reminds me of a costume that I've adored on Dahlal for a long time, at first I thought it might be this costume, but not quite:

Okay, that link didn't go to the costume. But it reminds me of "honeyed gem" which is on page 8 of the Turkish full costumes if anyone is interested.

When considering prices, don't forget how weak the dollar is right now compared to foreign currencies. We US shoppers are not exactly in a "buyer's market" for imported goods at the moment!

Re: Aug/02/08 - Lovely Turkish Costume

But it's a used costume, based on what other posters said, probably a few years old. And if I'm reading the eBay post right, it's located in the US. It's not being shipped from Istanbul, or at least that's how I'm interpreting it. So the price still seems awfully high to me.

Yes, the high price is why it caught my attention initially. I would have expected a starting price of maybe $450-$500. I see she's changed it now to a buy-it-now instead of an auction.
