SOLD OUT These costumes are from single runs of custom orders, one-of-a-kind groups; once they're gone, they are gone. THESE COSTUMES CAN NOT BE ORDERED INDIVIDUALLY. Will there be more? Extras of troupe orders are often 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. IF IT IS NOT ON THE SITE, I DON'T HAVE IT AND CANNOT TELL YOU IF THERE ARE ANY STRAYS AVAILABLE. IF THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THEY WILL BE POSTED.Save your time, my time, and bandwidth:
PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF I KNOW IF/WHEN MORE WILL BE AVAILABLE because I don't. THANK YOU!
TROUPE ORDERS - (5 or more) It's impossible to have costumes EXACTLY duplicated. However, as with any troupe order, you can place an order based on a style you see. Contact Karolinka for information on troupe orders.

Made in Egypt. Beautiful and elegant, quite stunning in person. Champagne (really a dark beige or dark nude) with gold glitter. Beadwork in outlines of gold glass seed beads in "3D" looping lines, and dark copper large seed beads. Sequin colors are gorgeous: holographic gold, semi-opaque amber with green iridescence. Grouping of about 20 1/4" crystals (either real glass or very, very nice acrylic) in front, surrounded by seed beads. Fairly large oval cutouts on sides of bodice backed by nude mesh. Fitted to hips, skirt flares widely with five widely flaring triangular insets of nude mesh. Seams between skirt mesh insets/fabric outlined in beads and sequins, hem and all other edges trimmed with looping gold glass seed beads.

Bra comes with straps that are most likely intended to be shoulder straps, they are not sewn in (actually very helpful since you so often have to move them anyway). You could also just as easily make them halter straps. Integrated costume bra cups, these are the more horizontal shape as opposed to upright triangle with plunging V center. There are no back straps to bra, only cups. Almost everybody will need to add some sort of reinforcement: actual separate bra straps (cut nude color back straps off of a cheap bra), at bare minimum elastic around top of sides and back of dress. Elastic will probably need to be added to top sides and back of dress even if you add bra straps; it seems a little loose (perhaps from some trying on and stretching out?) for the sizes of the dresses. Bra cups are not overly deep and sides of dress come directly off of top of cups which make it much easier for larger sizes to get away with a bra that is a little narrow/small for you (underarm overflow is completely hidden by dress). On smaller sizes (even smaller than those in the "official" range given), with back bra straps added and maybe a little seam taking in, can work fine -- the bra is more like a reinforced front of the dress with the design flowing down the bodice. Keeps it from appearing overly bra-like (and hence large) on smaller sizes, and can sort of "float" on larger sizes. Larger sizes can get away with overflow, as well, both on sides and bottom of bra.

For making smaller, there are princess seams in back, one on each side, with about 6" - 7" unbeaded seam that could smoothly and easily be taken in, no messing with beading necessary, also about 4" of side seams under the arms. For hip area, large length of side seam (about 14") and entire back seam with no beading that can allow a lot of very simple smallifying.

Accessories: Matching beaded gauntlets.
