This fabulous set was hand crafted with gorgeous sequins, mirrors, beads, designed with a full skirt for dancing and twirling and crop top that is fitted. No tags, but skirt has a drawstring closure, which I would have an additional snap or Velcro closure added. Top has drawstrings on sides and back to also adjust to your body size. My mannequin is a large size 6, skirt can certainly be adjusted to fit a larger size.

This is a wonderful piece of Indian Pakistani folk culture colorful wearable art. I wondered if the mirrors were used to ward off the evil eye, especially to protect the female who typically would be wearing this type of clothing when dancing.
