Marquesa Questa girdle belt in antique bronze and your choice of gem color.

Smooth domed oval gems, prominent antique bronze accents, and a decorative cross pendant invoke a Spanish flair in the Marquesa Questa girdle belt. Opulent ruby red gems paired with rich, antique bronze accented settings comprise the continuous length and exude drama, catering to era attentive fashion. The utmost in extravagance, the Marquesa Questa suggests lavish tradition with antique bronze and gleaming gemstones, a refined and proud accompaniment to era dress.

Shown in ruby red oval gems, this belt is also available in black onyx, luminous pearl, dark emerald green, light emerald green, blue sapphire, amethyst purple, light blue sapphire, golden topaz, and white opal. The Marquesa Questa is designed to include an 18” drop with a floral cross and it is infinitely adjustable along the continuous length. For a longer drop, simply move up one or more sizes. Each size adds about 5” to the length of the belt. Belt is designed to be worn loosely between the waist and hip.

MADE TO ORDER


✦ HANDMADE BY ME ✦
I offer a 100% craftsmanship guarantee for two years. If an item is broken due to normal use, or by no fault of your own, please contact me as soon as possible. All items available at Many Moons Emporium are carefully and skillfully handcrafted in my studio by me. Slight imperfections and differences should be expected as a true element of their handcrafted nature. The jewelry and accessories found here are to be considered decorative or costume quality and should be treated as such, unless otherwise stated. My handmade products are only available in my Etsy shop and on my website, if you find this product for sale elsewhere it will not be made by me and would be a counterfeited item made by someone who has unlawfully stolen my copyrighted images, designs and/or descriptions.


✦ SIZING ✦
My sizing scale is not based upon normal clothing sizes. When ordering items such as belts, chains, and livery collars, it is highly recommended that you measure before ordering. Don’t have a tape measure? You can use a ruler or another object with a known length and a piece of string. Or you can search the internet for “printable tape measure”, print it out, tape/glue together, and measure away.

4 Easy steps for a proper fitting belt:
1. Put on your costume, or a garment with a similar amount of bulk
2. Determine where you will wear your belt (at your waist or lower on your hips?)
3. Measure the part of your body where the belt will lay.
4. Use the following size scale when ordering

20-25" = 2xSmall
25-30" = xSmall
30-35" = Small
35-40" = Medium
40-45" = Large
45-50" = xLarge
50-55" = 2xLarge
55-60" = 3xLarge
60-65" = 4xLarge
65-70" = 5xLarge

For reference, here are the measurements for my most commonly used props:

Fanny (light blue dress) & Matilda (dark blue dress) female mannequin measurements are: 34” bust, 24” waist, 34” hip, 14” shoulders

Manny (male torso) mannequin measurements: 16” neck and 20” over the collar, 17” shoulders, 37” chest, 34” waist

Hettie (head & shoulders) mannequin measurements: 22” head circumference with wig, 13” neck


Quality comes first at Many Moons Emporium. Each item is expertly handcrafted using quality materials. However, it should be noted that these items are intended to be worn decoratively. Belts specifically, should not be worn for utilitarian purposes (i.e. used to hold up one's pants or hang a tankard from) unless described for such purposes. Doing so may result in damage to the belt. Further, accessories should be worn as recommended. When wearing items such as belts, necklaces, bracelets, etc., the fit should be loose and comfortable in order to prevent damage while crouching, bending, twisting, etc. These items are adjustable to ensure a proper fit for bodies of all shapes and sizes. If you have any questions regarding the proper fit or sizing of an item, please feel free to send us a message.

✦ CARING FOR YOUR ACCESSORIES & JEWELRY ✦
Costume jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Make sure you’ve applied any makeup, perfume, cologne, lotions, oils, hairspray, etc. and have given them time to dry before putting on your jewelry. Avoid wet, damp, and humid conditions if possible, removing your jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, washing dishes, etc. Commercial jewelry cleaners, chemicals, and even the pH of your skin can induce a chemical reaction causing color changes. Clean, dry thoroughly, and store your costume jewelry in an air tight container. For a complete guide on caring for your costume jewelry, please see my website: https://manymoonsemporium.com/pages/costume-jewelry-care



✦ EVERYTHING ELSE ✦
A packing slip will be included with each order. Packing slips do not contain any pricing information.

Although I make every effort to ensure my photos are as true to color as possible, colors may appear different in person due to dye lot variations, lighting conditions, and monitor or device screen calibration. I cannot guarantee the color you see on your screen is accurately interpreted and should not be considered absolutely correct.

I reserve the right to substitute parts and/or materials when absolutely necessary. Every effort will be made to choose substitutes that maintain the original look, style, and or feel of a piece as closely as possible.
