Burning my money

Someone on bhuz mentioned Mercedes Maria P. Out of sheer curiosity, I checked her web and decided to custom order the cheapest costume online.

WK said that I am burning my money on something I am not sure of.

Oh well, despite my protesting bank account, I went ahead and voila! Here is my last custom order.

Zero refitting work has been made on this. Though I must say that the bra is hanging dangerously on its own at the moment.

The belt fits like a dream- the length and hooks are just right.

For a Bella, I have to seriously refit the costume to fit me. Mercedes on the other hand, took very detail and precise measurements before embarking on her project- so everything fit!






What I didn't fancy is the 2 revealing slits on the skirt. It bares too much and I can't pull the chiffon any closer to close the gaps.

The raw material used and the workmanship is very similar to Bella.







Of course for 1/2 of Bella's price, don't expect too much tassels and detailing work.

Even comes with the signature Bella's neck lace and arm band.

I have purchased an additional velvet skirt with chiffon insert. That was rather disappointing cause the skirt was too short.

I wore it extremely low and bend my knees for the picture. The chiffon insert in front and back is quite unique though.

All in all, I am pleased with my purchase.

Definitely will get more.
