CLEOPATRA !
FUN FACTS: Cleopatra was a Hellenistic ruler of Egypt. She began ruling by
sharing power with Ptolemy XII, her father. Later she shared power with her
brothers and then her husbands, Ptolemy XIII, and Ptolemy XIV. But she eventually
ruled Egypt by herself as Pharoah. Although she is probably the most famous and
well known queen of Egypt, most people don't know that she was of Greek origin.

This is a beautifully designed costume. It is identical to the Isis, but
in gold. The bead and sequin workmanship is masterful. It has a mix
of sequins, beads, fringe, ball beads, and golden rhinestones that is
truly spectacular. It is a true gold, but the lighting and sparkle
changes the color a little so I took pictures with different lighting to
help you see the beauty of the color of this costume, and although
the lighting gives it a more 'orange' color in the close ups, it is a true
gold color and will dazzle your audience. Like the Isis, you will feel
like you are drenched in jewels. If you are a professional dancer,
this is a must have for your costume wardrobe.

| The hip belt is 39-1/2 inches long but will fit larger hips, too (*see sizing note at bottom of page). It fits smaller hips just by overlapping. The bra cup will fit a size A (probably with some padding), B, or C (if you are a C, this top will probably show lots of cleavage. The under bust measurement is 33 inches. This is a very flattering costume. |

| In the photo below I angled the bra cups so you can get an idea of what the bra top would look like if you changed it into a halter. Halters look good if you prefer to enhance your breasts more, which is what I usually do to my costumes (but I don't alter these costumes in any way--they arrive to you brand new without changes to the bra straps or any other adjustments. |
About the UNDER-BUST measurement: The under-bust measurement is the measurement of the back straps and
under the bra cups. Do not confuse it with your bra size! For example, depending on the bra manufacturer, I wear either a 34 or
36B bra. But my under-bust measurement for costume purposes is 29 inches. So don't think that because a costume's
under-bust measurement is smaller than your bra size that it doesn't fit. This costume's back strap OVERLAPS 4 inches on me
even though I'm a "34-36" bra size and this costume has an under-bust measurement of 33 inches. Usually there is lots of
overlap and you just move the bra hook in back to adjust it. Occasionally, only if you are very large framed, you might have to
add a bra extender from your fabric store. Measure underneath your breasts and around to get your costume under-bust
measurement. It is smaller than your bra size. **Please see note below for complete details about sizing.

**Note About Sizing:
I choose the costumes carefully with a focus on 2 things:
1) The cups are adaptable to fit a range of cup sizes as opposed to just ONE cup size only (such as AA, A, B, C,
or D). Instead, I look for cups that will fit both an A and B, or a B and a C. Some times I find cups that, because
of the design, or with some padding, will fit an A, B or C. When you receive your costume, check first to see if
the cup size will work for you. If it does not, return the costume immediately to get your refund.
2) I choose hip bands that are adaptable by simply placing the hooks where you want so you can make it
smaller or larger depending on your hip size. (hooks are included in your package, but not sewn on to the
costume--this is done purposely so that you can make it fit your exact size). The belt can fit even larger hips
than the measurement stated just by placing the belt up higher towards the waist as opposed to riding very low
on the hips. Take your hip measurement where you will actually "wear" the hip belt--usually its somewhere
between your waist and your hip measurement--therefore a 39" belt can actually accommodate much larger
"hips" because it is worn more under the waistline instead of exactly at the largest part of your hips.
The main concern is that the bra cups and belt fit. Straps are usually easy to adjust and I choose lengthy straps
as opposed to short ones. Adding to a strap is difficult, but to shorten a strap is usually easier, or you can
make it a halter.
Do not make any alterations until you decide to keep the costume--you will not be refunded once you
have made alterations.
