Up for resale "Vintage White Lace Costume". I bought this on Bhuz back in April for $395 and just don't have the time to give it the TLC that it needs. I'm selling this as I received it. It is a beautiful costume but I just don't have the time to give this the TLC that it needs to really sparkle. I've never worn it. The only thing that I've done to it is remove the padding in the bra. The straps will probably need to be replaced and it may need a soaking in Woolite. If you put the padding back in the bra then you may not need to reline it. I am a 36c so I took the padding out and was going to reline the bra but didn't get that far so it still has the original lining. The previous owner suggested giving it a bath in woolite to really make it shine since it is a vintage costume. The skirt has some stains on it so a bath in woolite would help that too. Beadwork is all glass and VERY intricate, but some pailettes are just starting to wear.
Here is the original description.
"Time to let this beauty go... I just never wear it anymore, and this sparkly monster deserves to be onstage!! $395 s/h included to USA
Vintage silver and white lace costume. MEGA-AB-rhinestone-bling and amazing beadwork! Silver beadwork and small pailettes on intricate white lace base. This one really sparkles onstage.
Bra C (B with padding) 7” x 6” cups, 33” around chest (can expand much larger, 40" or so). Belt in two pieces, currently set to fit 36” lower hip, 33” upper hip, can go to 39” upper, 41” lower. Skirt is mermaid handkerchief style, 41” at longest point, could be shortened no problem, circumference could expand up to 40” hips. Comes with two matching lace sleeves and two matching lace wristlets.
Needs a little TLC but it's currently quite stage-ready…I’ve given it a bath in Woolite, probably will need another one to really shine. I’ve replaced the lining recently, but as it’s white it might need to be replaced again. Beadwork is all glass, but some pailettes are just starting to wear. Take this one home…this vintage costume is complex and stunning!!"

The original description said "quite stage-ready" but IMO it needs the work done that I mentioned first. The pic in photobucket of someone wearing it is the previous owner. Asking $300 OBO. Shipping in US included.
