ISO Sparkly fuschia, periw., royal, violet costume C cup, 33" underbust, 38" length

[kiyaana]

I've been looking and looking and looking at costumes. Was "this close" to ordering one from Audrena during one of her recent $600 sales, but I don't want to wait 3 months (or more). So, I've drawn up some specs with the idea that someone out there has just the right costume that they're ready to sell to me.

33" underbust - so need 35" or more bra band
C cup (full coverage, no demi-cups)
- I prefer fringe hanging from the bra to NOT be silver or gold - my pale tummy needs more color
- I like some fringe from the bra at least, because I have a long torso
37" upper hip
39" lower hip
38" skirt length (37" may be do-able)
- skirt doesn't have to be full chiffon, but I'm not keen on super tight lycra on my behind

Color preferences 216 color chart (chart colors are approximate, your monitor won't look the same as mine):
hot pink/fuschia (FF3399 or CC0066)
royal blue (3333FF)
periwinkle (6666FF)
violet (9933FF)
red (true red, not orange-red)

The examples I've posted below are mostly Pharaonics, but I don't have to have a Pharaonics. A sparkly bedlah on its own would be great, I can come up with skirts. Accessories are definitely a bonus.

"Egyptian Beauty" on Dahlal.com in fuschia or royal; "Golden Oasis" on Audrena.com

"Tanya's Plum" on Audrena.com (but not in that color, though it's lovely on Tanya!)
Audrena.com -> Tanya - Plum Belly Dance Costume

"Paisley Passion" on Dahlal, "ph-78" on Audrena
Audrena.com -> Costumes

I love the color on this one: Audrena.com -> Venus 2007 Costume

I adore this Hoda Zaki - so much that I bought it today!!!! (Sept. 24):
The Belly Dance Store

There are many more that I like, but I think I've made this long enough already, don't you?

I have these two costumes in these exact colors. Love 'em and not ready to part with them yet! (But you do have good taste!)

I'm not sure if it's your color but have you seen the Pharaonics TanyaLV is currently selling? It looks like it will fit your sizing and wishes..

Yes, I think this one is lovely, and you're right, the measurements are great. I already have two turquoise costumes, so I've had to restrain myself!

So of course I went to your site to see these costumes on you and saw the blue "Venus 2007". Lovely! I like the color even more now that I've seen it on you.

Still looking. And Audrena.com is having one of her tempting $600 sales again!

DO you like Bella's costumes ?

I am thinking of selling my fuschia Bella. It is a Bella tribaret bra+belt
My costume fits your sizes and fringe on bra requirements.

But I need to wait for my new purple to arrive ( sometime this week) before I sell this one, in case the purple doesnt look good on me.

Oh, pooh. I just took measurements, and the fuchsia Pharaonics we discussed is going to be too big around the booty for you. The other measurements would work, but there's no easy way to slim it down because it's not a separate belt and the skirt is heavily beaded. I'm so sorry to be a tease!

I am selling this red costume, currently on ebay, back on the swap if it doesn't sell:

I would love to see photos when you have some to share.

Thanks for measuring! Too bad about the hip measurement. Guess it's meant to sparkle for someone else.

Saturday I bought some orange and hot pink fabric that I've been eying for months, came home and bought fuschia fringe here on Bhuz, then today ordered a hot-fix applicator with a bunch of orange and hot pink crystals, so I guess something bright pink is meant to be for me!

Thanks for posting this. Getting another red costume is a long shot for me right now, so I'll pass.

"I'm dreaming of a new costume,
just like the description I made.
With big crystals shining,
for that I'm pining,
in pink, blue, or purple shades . . ."

Not sure if this fits into your idea but it is a brand new basic. It comes with a gold satin skirt/veil set. Asking $200 OBO

Thanks for sharing this. I definitely need a more vibrant shade of purple - more violet than lavender, so I will pass this one.

What a great color! What are your underbust and top hip measurements in the photo? (If you don't mind sharing.) I know Bellas usually have no give/take for the top of the belt/skirt.

If this doesn't work for me, I'm sure you will have no problem selling it!

(Meant to reply to this sooner - lost power last night for several hours after I replied about the lavender set.)
