Costume Challenge

[parasitegirl]

I've recently posted on Bhuz askign for people's most horrible "airport special" crap they have, or were given, and can't bring themselves to throw away but can't even imaging trying to sell...and have offered to take them (and pay only shipping) to see if I can work some reconstruction magic.

This one is tempting me...only because it has poppies. I think the ribcage strap would chaffe my underarms. The dancer/owner of this one was given it as a present and doesn't have the heart to throw it away.

Am I batshit insane? If it were gold colored I would probably have already paid for shipping.

I was thinking of cutting down the side straps and adding some some 3-d beaded leafs and petals to take the poppy motif around it...the cups looks pretty solid for an airport special.

I'm still hoping someone flings a basic Turkish set at me as well.

The way that sequinning is done will make it not too hard to cut down the top edge. And the cups do look decent and the strap between them is in the right place.

She's sending it to me AND paying for shipping so she can have it out of her life!
