SOLD Orange-Purple BELLA $550 with free shipping

SOLD!


Selling $550 with free shipping worldwide.

I bought this from a bellydancer who had only used it 1-3 times. True to her description, the costume was very new when it arrived. I have worn it 3 times myself since I got it about 4 months back. I am reluctant to let this go but I have another custom-made coming in and there are several costumes I am eyeing at the moment.

The costume is bright orange velvet with purple and orange accent. The skirt has cut-outs on both sides with orange mesh covering. There are 2 layers of chiffon- orange on the outside and purple inside.


Measurements:

Bra: Cup C/small D, underbust 34"

Upper hips: 35" max and there is a hook and zip behind

Lower hips: 38" and maybe another 1-2" more.

Length: 38"

comes with 2 arm band with orange chiffon drapes. I have taken the chiffon drapes out but you can easily sew them back. 1 head band.

Payment by paypal only to bagsandcostumes@hotmail.com






SOLD! Phaoronics of Eygpt Pink $375

SOLD!

I bought this from a belly dancer who has used this rarely. She sold this to me cause the colour is wrong for her. A beautiful piece of work by Phaoronics of Eygpt and retails at $725 on Audrea! However, flare pants don't work on Chinese cause I looked more like a Chinese dancer in this set of costume. In addition, I have very skinny limbs and I don't think I would want to amend sleeves band or pants to to fit me.

Measurements:

Bra: Cup B, underbust 33"

Belt: attached to skirt and is very elastic. Fits hip size from 34"-40" easily. I am a upper hip 35" and lower hip 38" and this fits me perfect. closure is a front zip and it is well-hidden.

Skirt length is about 36", without including the belt.

Comes with hair band, 2 arm band and a matching veil.

Payment via paypal only. Shipping is USD35 worldwide, insurance optional: USD10.

Farewell to Imperial Splendor

Imperial Splendor has found herself a new owner. Payment is pending in paypal.

As I took out the costume from my closet, I felt a sense of regret. It is still a pretty costume and I have only worn it once. However, gold on yellow-skin tone is just wrong. The gold looks totally washed out on me.

I thought I would just keep it and get a good tan instead. 2 months in my closet, I never made it to the beach. And I guess I would never get a tan and finally decided to let it go.

Looking at it again makes me wonder if I have made the right decision to sell it.

Silly you may think, I postponed my very-late Xmas shopping, "painted" my face, put on Imperial Splendor for the last time and took some pictures as momentos.

SOLD! Dahlal Imperial Splendor $360 free shipping

SOLD!

Selling $360 with free shipping worldwide.

I bought this set from Dahlal about 2 months ago at $429 ( not including shipping) and worn it once only. Condition is almost brand new with the exception of a few missing beads and sequinns near the hook on the belt. I would consider it as an accident as I had hooked on the beads instead of the hook in a hurry.

I really like this very much but gold and yellow doesn't really go well on Asian skin-tone. See pic below.

Measurements:

Bra: Cup C/small D underbust 33"

Belt: Can fit up to 38" but currently set for a 35" upper hip.

2 layer chiffon skirt is attached to the belt. Length is about 36"

Comes with 2 arm bands and a hair band which I have sewn elastic on.

Paypal payment only to bagsandcostumes@hotmail.com
