what do you ladies think of this?

[latriamou]

I saw this costume on ebay.. i think it has potential, aside from the fact that i can't wear yellow..

Can't say that I care for the "applique down the butt crack" look to the back

[jahbie]

The design on the bra looks like fingers to me.

[gypsydanse]

I think it looks like someone's hand on your boobs and butt.

[jenlindseys]

yeah... its not for me. Hah. I don't really like the color combinations and I think the cutouts at the top are a little odd.

[sabrinabellydancer]

i do like the double waist band with cut out effect. very sexy in a not too revealing a$$ out kind of way.

wish they had continued the bird of paradise type design all around the hips and covered the bra w/ more repetitions of the design.
but you could always fill in the bare spots with tons of crystals right?

[mish_mish]

It's very summery--and on the right dancer, I think it would be beautiful!

[Azhia]

I like the colour combinations but can't get over the Buddha fingers fruit on the cups (that's what it looks like to me). I admire your adventure in colour! I love these shades!!!

It's funny how different people react differently to the same costume. I don't think there's anything wrong with the shape of the appliqués on the bra, or the position of the one on the butt. It's not a color I would choose for me, but it could be pretty on someone with the right skin tone and hair color to do it justice.

I like the way the top edge of the hips is done, and my first reaction to seeing it was, "This could be fine for restaurant gigs, where you might prefer to not put wear and tear on a high-end costume, but you still want to have a level of polish." I'd consider buying one for that type of gig, and then I might add some crystals or other decoration to soften the effect of the "fingers".

I like it! I think it would require very little in the way of finishing touches. Maybe a few strategically placed jewels, and I'd prefer some additional fringe on the skirt. But nice overall IMHO.

[dancingstar]

I like the double waist band. I didn't see the "hand" effect before reading the comments, and now I can't un-see it.

[latriamou]

ok, now i can see the hands.. i'm tempted to ask if they have it or can make it another color

[Athallia]

For the price one could get a nicer costume from K Boutique.

[kina]

didn't Surida have some experience with this vendor?

I love the costume, think it's sexy

[lallakahina]

I was a little curious about this auction, because I saw the exact same costume on ebay.de. I wonder if it's the same vendor? Would two of this design really exist? One is in Germany and the other in Egypt!

I really like it! Didn't notice the "buddha fingers" until they were mentioned, but that can be worked out with a few crystals. I'm tempted to bid on it myself, but I think the cups would be a little too wide for my narrow ribcage. The seller has 100% feedback so that's a good sign!

I agree with you. It just surprised me that the Egyptian vendor has the costume already made-- and so does the German. I can tell the model is the same as in German vendor's other auctions.

I really like it but I agree you could probably get a nicer one from K for cheaper.
