c0733 Fuschia/Red Fade To Black Glitter Costume     $205 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. A complex fabric color that makes each costume lovely and unique, no two are exactly alike. Main background is a dark pink with a lot of red hue to it. Not really fuschia, it's not that bright. Patterned on top of this are tiny irregular red and black dots (dyed in the fabric, not an overlay). These form the fades from light to dark. The dark pink background is never comletely without some red pattern on it, and the black is never totally black, always has some red and small bits of background mixed in. And THEN on top of this are curving pin stripes of red glitter. Bead work is not too heavy (there's plenty going on with just the fabric color). Outlines in red glass seed beads and tiny silver metallics, sequins include silver holographic and clear iridescent red flower shaped. Fringe accents around hips are red glass seed beads tipped with very nice clear red faceted acrylics and silver metallics. Skirt tops and slit sides, as well as bra edges, trimmed with overlapping glass red seed beads. No trim on bottom (easy hem!) Skirt has slit over right leg, very nice fit to flare shape (4 total gores, two in back and two in front due to the slit, allows more shaping to the body than just to pieces of fabric sewn together). Back zipper. Bra has same beadwork/colors, ruched (pleated/shirred) strip goes over one cup and under the other, accented with 4 lines of small rhinestones. Shoulder straps. Center bunch of fringe. Two straps attached to bottom edge of bra that are obviously angled to go to the center, at least at first. After that, it's anybody's guess! They are quite long and you could do some interesting wrapping with them, I just crossed them and tucked into skirt for photos. They have no connectors (I'll send some hook and eyes for you). Accessories: Matching Gauntlets and headband. Gauntlets with bra 3 and 4 with slightly different fabric, but so close no one will notice. Age/Condition: New.

Sizing
> Click For explanation of sizing, how to apply it to you, also some tips on altering. VERY HELPFUL

You may mix and match skirts and bras, but some have definite best matches, as noted. Also see photos, above.

Bras Bra #1 (SOLD) should fit range including a perhaps slightly wide 34 C/D, 36 B/C+, narrow 38 A/B. Ruched accent strip mostly dark around mostly lighter cups. My opinion: best with skirt 3 or 4. NOTE: the shoulder straps are NOT attached on the back, you will need to sew them on. This is actually a good thing, because they probably wouldn't have been in the right place anyway. Bra #2 (same size as #1) (SOLD) should fit range including a perhaps slightly wide 34 C/D, 36 B/C+, narrow 38 A/B. Almost all completely light colored, both ruched accent strip and cups. My opinion: best with skirts 1 or 2 NOTE: the shoulder straps are NOT attached on the back, you will need to sew them on. This is actually a good thing, because they probably wouldn't have been in the right place anyway. Bra #3 (SOLD) should fit range including 34 DD, 36 C+/D, 38 C. Ruched strip almost all light on mostly dark cups (sort of the reverse of Bra #1). Sorry, missed a photo of this one. My opinion: best with skirts 3 or 4 NOTE: Shoulder straps ARE attached. Bra #4 (SOLD) should fit range including 36 D/small DD, 38 C/D. Cups mostly dark, ruched strip dark with light. See photos.. My opinion: best with skirts 3 or 4 NOTE: the shoulder straps are NOT attached on the back, you will need to sew them on. This is actually a good thing, because they probably wouldn't have been in the right place anyway.

Skirts All skirts: These DO have elastic, 1" wide strips on back of skirt, each side of zipper. Probably enough. If you want to add more, perhaps some 1/4" around the rest, see easy tip here. Link to this is also in the "How to Buy A Costume That Fits" page, link in grey table of contents always visible on left side of site. All skirts: Shorten-ability: Easy to cut and hem. No trim on bottom. You'll have to tie off or glue the trim on the slit edges where you cut. Skirt #1 is what I'd call "Medium-Large", all others (2, 3, 4) "Small-Medium" (measurements are given below). All about 37" long, though #3 MAY be slightly longer. Color descriptions of skirts refer mainly to front. Makers for most part didn't line patterns up at side and back seams, but they kept them sort of close. There will be some variance on back and sides, but nothing such as the back top/hips being all light and the front top/hips being all dark. Skirt #1 (Medium-Large) (SOLD) Skirt Top: Fabric relaxed = 30", stretches to 38". Skirt Hips: Fabric relaxed = 34", stretches to 42" Skirt length: 38" Color/comments: Almost all light at top/hips, fades to dark area in vertical center, back to light all the way to hem. See photos. Skirt 2 is almost exactly identical in color. Skirts 2 through 4 are the same size. Skirt #2 (Small-Medium) (SOLD) Skirt Top: Fabric relaxed = 28", stretches to 34". Skirt Hips: Fabric relaxed = 33", stretches to 39" Skirt length: 37" Color/comments: same color placement almost exactly as Skirt #1. Almost all light at top/hips, fades to dark area in vertical center, back to light all the way to hem. See photos. Skirt #3 (Small-Medium) (SOLD) Skirt Top: Fabric relaxed = 28", stretches to 34". Skirt Hips: Fabric relaxed = 33", stretches to 39" Skirt length: 37", MAYBE 37.5" Color/comments: Hips and top primarily dark, a light section dips down in center front 3-4". Fades to light, then back to sizeable dark area around hem. Somehow missed getting a photo of this one, sorry. Very similar to Skirt #4, below, but with a more light color dipping down, in center (so whole pattern is slightly lower). Skirt #4 (Small-Medium) (SOLD) Skirt Top: Fabric relaxed = 28", stretches to 34". Skirt Hips: Fabric relaxed = 33", stretches to 39" Skirt length: 37" Color/comments: Almost all dark at top/hips. Very small bit of light color peeking down, front center. Fades to light, then back to sizeable dark area around hem. See photos.
