c0725 Holographic Gold Costume with Swagged Fringe     $155
One slightly irregular, $145.

SOLD OUT
This was a single run of a custom order, a one-of-a-kind group; once they're gone, they are gone.
THIS COSTUME CAN NOT BE ORDERED INDIVIDUALLY. Will there be more? Extras of troupe orders are always made, many of which are sold through this site. It's possible the stray piece will show up, but it's impossible to know when/how many. It's also possible that a popular costume will be made again in multiples for off-the-rack sales, but it can't be said when.TROUPE ORDERS - (5 or more) It's impossible to have costumes EXACTLY duplicated. However, as with any troupe order, you can place an order (5 or more) based on this style. Contact Karolinka for information on troupe orders.

Made in Egypt. Stretch holographic metallic gold costume. Very elegant, sexy, flashy (not sure the "pow" comes through in the photos). Fit-to-flare skirt with slit over one leg, bras have shoulder straps. "Fringe" is all glass, large gold seed beads with square amber or dark amber iridescent accent beads (every couple of inches or so). The fringe is swagged around skirt hips with straight bunches between swags. Swags hang over cups and from center of bras.

There is very little difference between the amber or dark amber accent beads from an audience's view point (likely unnoticeable).

Accessories: Full length gauntlets with fringe loops.

Sizing: Below photos, scroll Down.

Helpful And Important! Info & FAQ's
Please read before asking.

  • Been watching and waiting? Frustrated? Me, too! Bad luck and temporary issues have slowed all work this summer. Many apologies, and many improvements ahead!

  • October '07: Due to above, time until your order is shipped may be 1-10 days until backlog is caught up (normal is 1 to 5 days).
  • Need it fast? Please let me know. Send event name/type & date. Email will get you fastest replies.
  • The fairest for all is that the first who pays merchandise price in full for the costume gets the costume.
  • I highly recommend emailing inquiries if possible and appropriate, it is much easier for me to quickly answer emails. Please include both the number and the NAME of the costume you are asking about. Don't forget your ZIP CODE (just your city won't do it) if you want shipping cost.
  • Phone hours (352-373-4991) 10 am to 8 pm USA EST. Calls are screened, but if I'm here I pick up. Messages can be left any time.

  • Q: "I really like costume xyz but it says says "SOLD" or "SOLD OUT". Are there more? 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.

    A: Read How to Buy a Costume that fits". Explains my sizing methods and how to measure yourself. Link to this also on front page.

    c0725 Holographic Gold Costume with Swagged Fringe
    Sizes In Stock
    Please order by bra number (1, 2, etc.) and skirt length (37", etc.).
    Bras (light amber accent beads)

    "Should fit" range is given.
    Click here for range explanation.
    • 1) SOLD 34 B/C, 36 A+/narrow B+ (note size very slightly revised 9/16/07)
    • 2) SOLD Same as 1)
    • 3) SOLD 34 B/C/D, 36 B/C
    • 4) SOLD 34 D+/DD, narrow 36 D, narrow 38 C. This bra is a type of demi; the cup is tall but angles far out, so that your breasts are sort of sitting in them supported from the bottom but (relatively) open at the top. Eveything should be covered for the range given (some help needed at extremes), but the look is busty, and defintitely won't work on sizes smaller than given.
    • 5) Same as 4).
    Skirts (light amber accent beads)
    NOTE: this was previously mistakenly titled "DARKER amber beads", they aren't, these are the lighter amber that match the bras to the left. Apologies.

    All are essentially the same size. Very slight differences that you may discern trying on, but not enough so that differences are consisitently measureable. Length differences ARE easily measurable, order skirt you want by length.
    • Skirt Top: Should fit 28" - 35" Has no elastic. Will fit couple of inches smaller with elastic added. The weight of the beads at the top of the skirt tends to make the top fold over, so you'll probably need some elastic regardless. 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: Should fit 33" - 37"
    • Skirt Length
      • 37" (SOLD)
      • 37.5" (SOLD OUT)
      • 38" (one in stock).$10 off: Has small flaw; made from end of bolt and there is printing near hem of skirt, on front. The printing is gold and peels off. Most has been taken off, but removing it also took a little gold color with it -- so it looks like a highlight at the bottom of the skirt, not very noticeable. Click here for photos.
