Shoulder straps are not made to cross; back straps of bra are long and most people probably will need to remove and reattach the shoulder straps so that they fit appropriately.

SOLD
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. This unique costume has many design details that make it a steal at this price, and definitely a change from your run of the mill skirt and bra. Lightweight, comfortable spring green stretch fabric with emerald green metallic overlay of tiny random dots, very closely spaced; the overall color effect is of a rich, meadow/grassy green (not pastel or lime). Very unique beadwork pattern, has a lot of vertical movement, gives appearance of cascading down skirt. Looping overlapping silver glass tumgled (smooth edged) cut bugle beads are primary outlines, with gold glass seed beads used in accent areas. Pattern fills are iridescent green, iridescent amber, with some silver holographic sequins. The circle shapes have concentric circles of gold seed beads, silver metallic rounds, and small green rhinestone chains. Center fringe on bra is delicate mix of green glass seed beads, silver metallic rice beads, gold metallic rounds and iridescent sequins.
The skirt is really the showpiece of this costume. In addition to the lovely beadwork, there is a fairly substantal panel of soft green mesh on the left side hip, just forward of full left and just behind being centered over thigh. It runs all the way from top of skirt to hem, about 2" wide at top and flaring to about a foot and a half at the hem. About a foot down, slits start on both sides of the mesh. On the back of the skirt, the top point of an inset of mesh starts discreetly but a little teasingly several inches below the back zipper, widening to about 4 feet at the hem (no slits). Just standing the skirt appears to be a nice but fairly standard shape, fitted around the hips and gradually flaring out (not a super-curved fit-to-flare). However, when you start to move, the skirt flares out beautifully.
All edges of the skirt and bra are trimmed with closely spaced overlapping silver glass tumbled cut bugle beads (top of skirt, hem, metallic green fabric sides of slits, borders of stretch and mesh fabric, all edges of bra). The mesh side of the two front slits are edged in looping silver bugle beads and iridescent green sequins, as is the hem of the mesh.
Accessories: None.
Sizing:
> Click For explanation of sizing, how to apply it to you, also some tips on altering. VERY HELPFUL
Bra (click here for important info on notations): Should fit range including widish 36 C+/D, 38 B/C+. Max underbust = 41".
Skirt Top: Fabric relaxed = 28", stretches to 34".Has no elastic. Will fit several inches smaller with elastic added. Likely will need elastic for most sizes due to weight of skirt. Even if skirt fits with it's own stretch, it's advisable to add elastic as the fabric will not hold its memory forever. See easy tip here.
Skirt Hips: Fabric relaxed = 36", stretches to 42"
Skirt length: 37"
Age/Condition: New.

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.
Normal processing time (time until your order is shipped) is from 1 up to 7 business days, rarely as long as 7. However due to recent backlog, I'm tending to need the whole 7 days. I'm close to being caught up and processing times are shortening.
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!
