This is a dark Midnight/Navy blue/black w/ silver. It has alot of pretty rhinestones and crystals on it. I wore this for one short performance and for photos.

33 1/2" underbust
B/C cup


upper hip unstretched is 27 1/2", 38" stretched
skirt length in front is 35" and 36" in back. There is an addition inch that is tacked up.
I tried to stretch it out and it looks like the lower hip goes to about 42"
$450 (includes shipping and insurance)

I did a fun maternity session with not 1 but 2 bellydancers. There were so many gorgeous pics but this is one of my favorites
