Item description: This two-piece belly dance costume includes
a tie-front choli top and a matching full circle skirt. Both are made
out of a lightweight crushed velvet material in a deep red color. The
sleeves flare out into a full circle, which drapes nicely towards the
wrist. Currently, I also carry this crushed velvet costume in purple,
green, black, burgundy, royal blue, and light blue. See my eBay store
and other auctions for more choices. This listing is for a size SMALL
(other sizes available in my eBay store). Please see the different size
measurements below to choose your appropriate size.

Size: SMALL
Is this the right size for you? Use the skirt
and choli measurements below to decide:
Skirt measurements: The skirt that comes with the S, M, and
L is a size REGULAR, which fits most small, medium, and large dancers.
The waistband stretches from 27" (totally unstretched) to
42"; Length = appx. 36". For a larger skirt, please see
the XL/PLUS size of this costume in my eBay store.
Choli measurements: Because the choli ties in front, you can
adjust it fairly easily to your precise measurements. See the list below
for the specific size details. *Please note: the chest size measurement
is the length around your chest at the fullest part of the breasts and
should be taken while wearing whatever undergarment you will wear in
the outfit. (Chest size is NOT the same as bra size.) Also, you may
want to keep in mind that this material is stretchy.
SMALL: Best fits a chest-size* range of 32" to
36", depending on how you tie the knot in front; the length of
sleeve from shoulder seam to the end of the flare is appx.
19.5"; and the vertical center back measurement from
the back neckline to the bottom hem of the choli is appx. 15.5".
MEDIUM: Best fits a chest-size* range of 35" to
39", depending on how you tie the knot in front; the length of
sleeve from shoulder seam to the end of the flare is appx.

the back neckline to the bottom hem of the choli is appx. 16.25".

to 41", depending on how you tie the knot in front; the

*A Note Regarding Customs Fees for International Buyers:
every country has different laws and tax rates regarding whether
or not the government will charge you customs duties when you import
goods into your country. These are not additional fees that I am
charging you; these are import taxes that your own government
is charging you, and unfortunately, I am not able to control that.
Please contact you country's customs office to learn more about
whether you will have to pay these customs duties on your purchase.
