Melbourne ladies I need your help!!

June 18 2013

The top part of my costume for the Saints & Sinners Ball hasn't turned up yet, and I'm leaving on Thursday. I'm crossing everything that it will come tomorrow but if not I need to find a replacement, and there is really nowhere in Townsville that I can think to get something like that. My costume theme is a belly dancer, so think skimpy tops with lots of colour and bling.Is there anywhere in or near the city in Melbourne where I could get something suitable as a replacement, and also to make it even more complicated, that would not cost very much, as I don't have a very big budget at all to play with. I'm so shitty that the one I ordered off ebay hasn't turned up, it's been 3 weeks grrr...Also if anyone has any other ideas about where I could look or what I could do for a replacement then please let me know (but it can't involve me sewing anything as I don't have those skills lol).Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Go to Docklands to try and find your costume replacement. Docklands is located just on the edge of Melbourne CBD and you can get there by catching Tram #85 from Bourke Street tram stop. The tram station is located exactly on the corner of Bourke and Swanston Streets. Good luck.- Posted from rhpmobile

    That near Melbourne CBD is really the Docklands shopping mall. Another option is the Queen Victoria Markets.- Posted from rhpmobile

    I could led you a costume, x belly dancer hereyou can sew it by hand, just thread beads and hang them off your bra. black bra, is the bestI have done that before. just hand sew beads all over a low cut brano body notices the bra , just your tits.

    sweetgem - thanks for the suggestions!! Someone also suggested that I could check out Chinatown (which I want to do anyway regardless).TR - if I had more time I would probably just make something up (with a LOT of help from my mother), but as it is I still have a shitload to do before I go so just don't have the time. I love that you used to be a belly dancer though!! I'd like to try it for real, take some lessons...I love the moves. And the costumes.cold_ass_honky - thanks also for the suggestions and the offer of assistance . Pretty sure those sort of places would a bit out of the price range I can and want to spend though.I *may* have a solution....hopefully it works out.

    Take a bra and bling it up a bit. That's all you will have to wear. Oops I can see that TR has made the same suggestion. I would do that. Seriously most people I am sure will be half naked, so you don't want to be over dressed do you! Other wise those $2 type shops sometimes have costumes or something you may be able to substitute on the cheap.

And I def won't be overdressed Of course now that I've arranged something the original one will probably turn up tomorrow.

    The Vietnamese discount shops have that sort of thing super cheap. They're all over the place. Smith St Fitzroy has some good ones.

    I can't get all the eyeliner off and am getting laughed at :(. But I digress, there are heaps of $2 stores close to the city and Awesome's idea is a quick tram ride from the city.

    Any oil you have in the cupboard, olive oil etc. use with a cottonball or tissue, then wash face with cleanser or soap to remove oil.

    I have an alternative sorted and although I'm still hanging onto the hope that the original one turns up today because it was a bit cooler and blingier, at least I won't need to run around Melbourne like a headless chicken trying to find something on Friday, and I'll have time to check out I probably won't go near a tram until Saturday when I have to go to Prahran, because the one time I went on a tram in Melbourne it was a disaster hehe.

Haha....well, the top half would be ok, that could pretty much be a normal belly dancer top. It's the bottom half that I would NOT be showing her I have actually told her I'm going to Saints & Sinners. I did that on the presumption that she's not going to get on the internet and look it up. Even on the very slim chance she does....well, she already went through a period of thinking that I was a hooker

    Good think I organised the replacement, the original didn't show up. What a waste of money. Good thing it didn't cost much.
