My New SIM Moda Evi

Here is a photo of the costume that I had custom made by SIM while I was in Turkey.

I love it, it fits perfectly and working with Ismail is awesome. SIM gets my vote not only for creating gorgeous costumes for excellent customer service as well.

Gorgeous! That skirt is so dreamy!

Lovely costume, and it really suits you.

Gorgeous costume, beautiful photograph...

auraevans · 12-11-2007, 09:55 PM

but seriously, the bra on this costume is to die for. It fits really well, and the straps are gorgeous. It has little spot fringe/tassle style across the bra, it is really nice, I love it. RAVE review on this style of bra from SIM. I highly recommend.

Gorgeous!
I agree that Ismael is great to work with.
I bought a costume from him in Istanbul and intended to place a custom order (for an ivory one coincidentally) a couple of months after I returned and never did.
I'm re-inspired

mariyah13 · 12-11-2007, 10:03 PM

oh, and my SIM bra is hands down the best fitting bra of any of my costumes

auraevans · 12-11-2007, 10:26 PM

Hi Mariyah;
The ivory color is gorgeous and it is accented with silver. This bra is a newer style with elaborately decorated straps and the shape of the bra cups is really flattering. I am very happy with this design.

I hope to see you soon when I am in NY again.

Woah, just when I thought I didn't need another costume!

Let me think... WHEN can I go to Istanbul next year?!?
(I need my fix of Istanbul every year anyway. Can't be withoug it, it seems...)

Often I just go to the costume tailors out of curiousity (OK, this year I bought a costume...) but if he has more bras like this, I am a buyer!

And I second that SIM bras are great, they know how to make the most out of my A boobs

PS: How much did you pay for it?

auraevans · 12-12-2007, 03:54 PM

It was $700. That was pretty much the price on any custom made full costume from him.

By the way your shopping guide was fabulous. We printed it and used it a lot!! Thanks so much!!

Its our pleasure to work with you hope to see you again.

Nice to see Mr.SIM is doing other than the trumpet trademark style skirt his costumes usually have.

Lovely!

jessedan · 12-17-2007, 09:36 AM

What an elegant costume. The beadwork on the bra is just beautiful and I do like these flowly circle skirts so much better than straight or trumpet skirts. I hope designers begin to use them more often.
