Good morning everyone, it's raining here but I'm happy because I just got my new black/gray/white leopard print dress from artdreamers on eBay. It's so cute...it has a mesh middle and a petally panel skirt and now I need a red sleeveless choli and pants to go with it. I'm a huge fan of red ,black and white together so this is the perfect funky costume for me. I wear a medium on the top and a large to extra large (yet a really short inseam) on the bottom. I might end up making them but I'd like to see if anyone has pieces like these languishing in their closets. Thank you everybody! P.S: Please no velvet or velour...I'm still newish with veils and not very good at keeping them away from my body yet.

I don't have what you are looking for, but I do have a dress from artdreamers that I like a lot. I haven't seen any of her leopard print stuff, sounds cute.
It's adorable...kind of funky and fun...it needs some type of flared pants to go under it and being that it's an underbust style, definitely a bra or choli! If I can find fabric I might make what I need. I have some awesome sequinned fabric that I can cover a bra with if I ever get my dozen or so other projects finished first! I'll try to get a photo of the dress to you...if you like it Linda might be able to make one for you in that style too. Isn't she a wonderful lady? I wonder why she's not here?

Doozer, I have an older We3 red satin tie-back embroidered choli (but it has sleeves) and some red and gold patterned harem pants I may be willing to part with. The choli really isn't big enough to hold the girls anymore (I'm anywhere from a 34DD to a 36D), but the harems still fit me reasonable well and I have a 40" hip. Let me know if either might work for you? I can send or post pics later if you like.
They sound really pretty! I've given up on sleeveless, so I'd love to see your photos if you have them. You can pm me or post them here if you like. The dress I was attempting to get underpinnings for hasn't worked out so this costume will be going another direction. Thank you!

Doozer, I've included a few pics of both pieces. Both are a true red, regardless of how they may look in the photos. The detail color of the choli is fairly accurate.
I measured the front of the choli, it is 17 inches. It would very comfortably fit a 34" ribcage, but is adjustable in either direction due to the tie back. If you need more measurements, let me know and I'll be happy to get them tomorrow (it's late and I admit to being a little lazy!)
Oh my goodness they're so pretty! I'm really short (4'10") so I think harems might make me look even shorter, darn it. That embroidery is gorgeous but I'll have to pass on this set, darn it. Thank you for posting the photos; you did a great job!
