GODDESS COLLECTION
OK - even mini-Goddesses  - take a look!
This page will highlight some items either in stock or able to be ordered to fit a more voluptuous figure than a lot of dance costuming is sized for. Even as small as a size 14 it can to be hard to find a good selection. 
  Keep checking back, as I double check sizing on my EXTENSIVE inventory, I will find more items which qualify for this page 
Hope you find something you like!
COSTUMES
The manufacturer I work with routinely stocks costumes in goddess sizes.  The exact selection varies, but the costume below is almost always in stock.  And we do custom orders in just about ANY size - cup sizes from DD to J or beyond!  Hip sizes over 40 - whatever you need.  Just let us know your sizing needs and we will work with you to get you a wonderful costume in your size at a reasonable price!
 Also, if any other styles on the exclusive costume page catch your eye, please ask! We will do whatever we can to get you the costume of your dreams!
GODDESS VALUE!!!
MY OH MY!!
Those of you who have seen me at shows have seen this in person, but I hope the pics give you a good enough idea.... This is a classic sequin set including bra, belt, armband (sometimes 2 of them), headpiece AND petal skirt and veil, both trimmed in pailettes.
(note: harem pants shown are not included)
Long tipped fringe hangs of the belt - you can see in this example it is a pale green costume with gold accents. The fringe is quite long in the front, look closely on the right-side pic, and you can see some gold tips of the fringe almost down to her knees in the front. And the back is the same thing.  The bra has fringe on the cups and also a pretty piece in the middle. A sequin design is worked onto the cups and the belt.  The trimmed petal skirt included is something I recommend as a top skirt over either harems as shown or a plain skirt.  I almost always wear double layer skirts as it gives so much more movement - with this costume you have the top layer skirt included as well as a matching veil - so add your own under-layer to accent the look. 
Email me with your sizing needs and color preferences, and I will work with the manufacturer to get you this fabulous value costume.
Be sure to measure yourself the way we need to - do NOT send us your bra size.....

FCQueenSeq    $295!!!


New In Stock....

PURE Silver COIN!!
Now, this one is for the pear shaped Goddess.  The belt will fit up to 45", no problem.  The bra measures 35" at the band, and has a B cup - maybe a small C.  If this intrigues you, measure yourself at the bra band - your bra size is NOT the same thing.  Good chance if you wear a 38B bra this will work, but please measure.

And if you love love love this, and a B cup would work but you need a larger band - well you can add an extension to it, as long as you have a vest or something to hide the extension.  or if you are clever with sewing you can probably cover the extension with silver lame and help it blend in, since the base of this costume is a simple, pure, silver lame.

Check out the larger pic to appreciate the glass beaded short fringes, ending in coin.  sooooo versatile!!

Gypsy Goddess!!!
I love this - am keeping one for myself!.  Easy fitting, comfortable and colorful gypsy outfit.  Each one combines two colors in both the tie top and the very full skirt.  The top ties in front, and is similar to the FC2 harem set top, except the sleeves have a more elaborate treatment.  Easily fits a 42C.  If you are unsure email me your bra size AND your fullest bust measurement.  The skirt also fits up to about a 48" waistband - but please send me your waist requirements so I can be sure; there is some variation.  And for you mini-goddesses (and your jealous friends) the waistband could easily be taken in and the tie top can probably be worked to worked with a much smaller torso, down to maybe a size 10 or so.  The skirt is not quite as full as our CPs6 gypsy skirt, but it is plenty full for some serious skirt dancing. and the value is phenomenal, especially what big skirts usually go for on their own!!

HIPSCARVES
Even though hipscarves are usually long enough overall to fit most figures, there is some variability in how extensive the decorated area of the scarf is.  In order to have the decoration come around the hips as far as possible and end nearer the knot, the length of decorated area is key.  Most standard hipscarves incorporate about a 33-36" decorated area.  Scarves with longer decoration will be highlighted here. Also, any scarves that are longer than usual overall will be included.
