I can't fit in my new Bellas

kateryna · 08-08-2007, 04:11 PM

I just got 3 new custom made Bella's and I can't fit into 2 of them. One has a belt so I think it can be saved, but the other one is a built-in belt and when fully zipped makes me look like a sausage. I knew I gained a little bit of weight since I ordered the costumes 2 month ago, but not that much. Anyway, I have three options:
- Loose weight
- Sell the costume
- Return to Bella (I am not sure if she takes them back)
I am thinking about selling, but it doesn't look like anybody would fit into it.
Any advice?

Also if there is anybody who has 29" upper hip and in need of new Bella, please let me know.

I can fit in a 29" upper hip and am always entertaining the thought of a new bella. Send me some pics and more info. :o)

OH MAN! I'm so sorry to hear this! I would buy them off you in a heartbeat if I could fit them!
But for us vultures who love to drool over her designs, would you be willing to post pictures of them? Pretty please? With swarovskis on top?

Hey, my upper hip is 27", could it still fit? I'd love to see pictures to push me into action.

Also, what is the bra cup size, and most importantly, how much are you willing to sell them for?

Yes, I'll post pics soon.

I sent you a PM.

Here it is. It's purple with some accents, although I wanted it to be more wine, eggplant color. Velvet with schiffon. I got it for $800 plus shipping from Turkey with other two costumes. Still have to think what I want to do with it. It's very pretty, I hate to part with it so soon.

Kirsten, the cup size is probably a C, but it came sligtly padded to fit my B cup.

Oooohhh.. drooling... I sooooo want it!!! Unfortunately I wont fit

SummerSahar · 08-08-2007, 06:01 PM

Heartbreaking. It's so pretty!

SummerSahar · 08-08-2007, 06:02 PM

Can I ask how long it took for her to make these for you?

Actually, not long at all. Only 2 month.

If the skirt is to smal at the top around Your belly, You can take out the lining cloth. Than take a flat-iron from inside with a lot steam take it at the waist-band and stretch the waist-band from both sides with Your hands. So You can get about 2 inch more.
Best regards

And you are sure you don't just want to loose the weight so you can wear this beauty???

I'm with Meissoun. What if you lose the weight and you have to reconcile that you sold that beauty? I'm a purple girl so I'm dying here (not that I could afford it, mind you).

latriamou · 08-09-2007, 10:27 AM

must... resist.. purple costume...
it would be too short for me, right? please tell me that the length is under 37 inches so i wont be tempted to buy it

Yes, it's only 35" long.

While gaining an inch or two was not intentional I kind of like myself that way. It makes my body look more mature, in a good way.
Samira has a great advice, but I just hate to do anything drammatic to a costume like this and mess it up.

latriamou · 08-09-2007, 12:40 PM

thank God. it's not long enough.
does it have elastic in it? removing or adjusting it a couple inches wouldn't be too bad.

kirsten · 08-09-2007, 02:40 PM

Let me measure myself tonight. I think 35" skirt may be too short (got some junk in the trunk which will make it even shorter), but let me check.

Then again, I can always chop off a foot or something
