It's not dead, it's alllliiiiiiive!

My talk about building a dance bra and belt from scratch (not built on a pre-existing bra, but build fron individual bra-cup forms) may have been silent recently, but I hadn't given up. This is what I've got so far. I worked on it tonight while watching a Mr. Show DVD and staying off my leg.

I sort of like it plain (no bling-bling embellishments aside from fringe and beads...if inspiratation strikes I'll add more, but I don't wish to tamper for tamper-sake) although I will get a different skirt to go with it, black is just what I had on hand for the photograph. As homemade goes, I like it. It needs a a fringe line here and there and I need to stitch a lining for the bra....but I feel good about it overall.

Yeah, the bra-cup-hat in my user picture is an early stage of this bra...after covering the cups but before putting straps and back and such.

does it make me a flaming moron for not noticing the bra cup hat?

but it looks good! and a gorgeous color... i doubt they make those in F cups, though, right? :(

Nah, no need to notice the bra-cup hat...you weren't reading me during Frankenbra 1 (covering a bra) or the beginings of #2 (where I commented that a single cup could be used as a make shift yarmulke but once your join them it becomes a bun-cover sort of look)

the largest bra-cups from sugarpetals are 36DD-DDD

your best bet in customizing a bra is learning to cover a ready made sturdy bra( but what sort of F cups bras aren't sturdy I wonder? Masocistic ones?)

Tribal style dance costuming seems to be more large-breast friendly.

you'd be surprised the things they think support an DD or an DDD/F cup.... it's ridiculous. and mesh.

Actually, I wouldn't be that surprised. I think of most bra-makers as evil-fuckers. The jacking up prices on identical bras once they become D and up has always seemed cruel as well.

seriously. but what DD-F cup breast (that's not made of silicone) can be supported by something with less structural intergrity than the average paper towel?!

Aren't discussions of handkerchiefs and paper towels how we first met?

Bellydancers (Egyptial style), like showgirls and little old ladies in Japan, like copious amounts of shiny...

The fringe doesn't tickle...when you shimmy it doesn't lightly carress the skin..it fucking flys.

Something tells me you'd be a bellydancing giggle-butt even without fringe.
