c0885 Red Lycra Costume with Gold Fringe, Sleeve     $185

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. These are extremely flattering and elegant, though you probably don't equate fringe-y costumes with elegant, necessarily. The shape of the skirt that tapers up toward the stomach connector looks great, I don't think I got any really good photos of it. The fringe tapers in from the hips in an inverted V. Many great details: sleeve (has round holes w/center "lines" (straps)), stomach connector (sewn to skirt but not connected to bra and no connector provided), the fringe placement, holes down both sides of skirt like on sleeve. Bra fabric continues in separate cover across back straps, closes with velcro.

Easy to adjust length of stomach connector, just pin it where you need to inside bra. Or sew it for those of you with time.

Accessories: None.

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

Bras

Sleeve side is fabric only, no strap. Back straps of bra are very amply long, and the one shoulder strap is probably going to be placed too far towards the center, and thus seem to short when you first get it. Just move it out toward your armpit.

All 3 very close in size.

  • 1). SOLD Should fit range including 34 B+/C+, 36 B/narrow C.
  • 2). SOLD Should fit range including wide-ish 34 B+/C/small D, 36 B/C.
  • 3). SOLD Same as 2. Has small but dark spot on end of sleeve.
Skirts

The minimum top and hip measurements can go smaller by tightening/adding elastic, but too much smaller and I think skirt will be too overwhelming. Looks fine both somewhat easy fitting and more body hugging, but you don't want to be swimming in it.

Also note that these are fairly heavy, and this may affect length (depending on how much you take up horizontally).

  • 1).SOLD
    Skirt Top: Smallest optimal fit about = 30", stretches to 37".
    Has elastic, kind of wimpy in this skirt and probably need to add extra for smaller sizes.Will fit a couple of inches smaller with elastic added/tightened. See elastic tips here.

    Skirt length: 38" (from normal top line, not including any of the rise of stomach connection)
    Rise of extra skirt fabric above normal top line: 4.5"
    Length (height) of connector applique: 7" (hide as much as needed under bra)

  • 2). SOLD
    Skirt Top: Smallest optimal fit about = 33", stretches to 37".

    Skirt length: 36" (from normal top line, not including any of the rise of stomach connection)

    Helpful Info & FAQ's (below)

  • 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.
  • Until further notice, processing time (time until your order is shipped) may be from 1 up to 10 business days.
  • Need it fast? Please let me know. Send event name/type & date. Email will get you fastest replies. . Rush charges may apply.
  • If any question arises, the person who pays at least the merchandise price in full for the 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.
  • Email inquiries if possible and appropriate, it is much easier for me to quickly answer emails vs. phone calls. 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.
