Thread: FOUND!! ISO Costume for SHORTY!! Preferably Dress!!!

Looking for a costume, preferably a dress!!! I can't spend a lot of money, show me what you got please!! Need one ASAP!! Thanks!! :-)

Measurements:

Dress:
From shoulder to bottom- 49in

Skirt:
Length: 31 1/2

Upper hip- 40in
Bra- 36B

I have these http://www.bhuz.com/bellydance-swap-...ume-posts.html

and I have a white dress with gold and silver trim which you can wear your own bra underneath. Not posted yet.

These are the ones that based on hips would probably fit

Black Fringe Monster - http://www.bhuz.com/bellydance-swap-...p-44-hips.html

Thanks SaNoorah! I would love to see the white dress, whenever you get the chance please!!

I have a really cute vintage Shehezerhade dress with matching gauntlets...black with silver threads throughout, diamond shaped silver mesh tummy, hip and leg cutouts with little AB rhinestone trim. I added AB glass bead spot fringe on the cutouts. Sheath dress style, you wear a longline bra or stick on cups with it.

Condition issues: I've tailored it to fit me (I'm 4'9 3/4") and it has snags from the prong settings of the rhinestones on the fabric and on the mesh cutouts. It's absolutely slinky and glamorous though. My measurements at the time I tailored it were 36B-30-40. It's such a comfortable costume and I've not had the opportunity to wear it in a couple of years.

If you want pics please PM me your email and I'll get them to you tomorrow.

Oh! I forgot it has a matching headband I made from scraps.

Pm'd you!! :-)

Not sure what kind of dress you want, but I have a cute leopard print baladi dress for sale. I paid about $80 for it, and have never worn it except tio try it on. Asking $50 plus shipping.

Here's a link to my photobucket- there's a picture on there...

AlmeeBelly, the costume is stunning!! It's over my price range though :-(
Thank you, though!!

What is your budget, if it does not work for me, could be of interest for other members to know your price range

I have this that I bought for 250 plus shipping and would pass it on to you for the same price since I've only worn it to check the fit and appearance on my body. I live in Germany, though, so shipping may take it out of your price range. I would expect it to be around 50 bucks. Total would be 300.

my upper hip is around 41, but my chest is bigger than yours. i took out the bra pads with the intention of adding a permanent support bra inside, but i haven't done it yet. you would need to wear a bra of some sort underneath it. Oh, and I'm 5'2.

*** just wanted to add that i have pretty thick thighs (the bane of my existence) which are the heaviest part of my body. I think the dress would be better suited to someone more evenly proportioned.

the dress came to me with some beading missing from a part of the hem of the dress. I planned on using beads on the headband to replace them since I usually forego costume headbands for a rhinestone one.

my pm's don't work... if you're interested, please email me at xodinahox at yahoo dot com.
