Like most of the costumes on this site, this was a one-of-a-kind piece hand crafted by an Egyptian artisan. THIS COSTUME CAN NOT BE ORDERED. Will there be more? Individual artisans will occasionally repeat designs, but never exactly and rarely in the same color. It's impossible to say if or when these will show up or in what size or color. YOU CAN'T ORDER THIS COSTUME. Thank you.
Made in Egypt. It gets written very often, but this costume is a whole different ballgame in person, the photos don't do it justice. Beadwork design has contemporary feel, and costume is not encrusted so it is lightweight and comfortable (this is one of the newer trends in Egyptian costuming). The burgundy color is lovely and rich, and not dark, it is definitely a "color."
Skirt is that most flattering of cuts, fit-to-flair (total of four gores - sections - which means you get true curved rear-end and hip hugging, not just an A-line). Slit over left leg, short zipper in center back. Bra is shoulder strap. Cups are nicely shaped and fairly deep, also are as close together as they are going to get.
Beadwork uses many silver and gold glass seed beads for outlines; leav shpes also have inner outline of red rhinestones. The horizontal curving lines are beautiful large iridescent red sequins in a low key flower shape, edged by thick "3D" gold glass seed bead outlines. Nine 7/16" real crystal stones on skirt. Center fringe on bra is detailed, made up of red glass seeed beads, gold metallic rice beads, silver metallic faceted (very shiny), and some iridescent red sequins. All edges of bra and skirt finished in looping gold glass seed beads.
Accessories: None

FAQ's & Helpful Info(below)
Q: "I really like costume xyz but it says says "SOLD" or "SOLD OUT". Are there more? Can you email me personally when something like it comes in? Can I order it? Can I order something like it that's not on the website? Can I order costume abc in a size not on the website? "
A: No.
Q:"How do I order?"
A: Read "How To Order". Link to this also on front page.
Q: "Can you hold/reserve a costume for me?"
A: Yes. It's called "Expedited Ordering." You pay the full merchandise cost (without shipping) immediately, without contacting me (of course please do if you have questions about the costume). FIRST read "How To Order" which includes Expedited Ordering.

*****************************
Know you want it? Make sure you get it by "Expedited Ordering" - immediately send payment for merchandise amount only and it's yours. You'll then owe for shipping. PLEASE do NOT add extra or try to estimate shipping cost. Read "How To Order" for details, obligations.
Due to recent backlog, processing time (time until your order is shipped) may be from 1 up to 12 business days, though I'm close to being caught up and the 12 days is unlikely.
Need it fast? Send event name/type & date, I'll let you know if it's possible. Email will get you fastest replies.
 . Rush charges may apply.
If any question arises, the first person who pays at least the merchandise price in full for a costume gets the costume (must follow up with shipping payment, if paying separately). Asking for shipping cost or asking for a costume to be held or promising you're going to pay do not hold a costume.
Thank you!
