Take one bra
Sew a reinforced band along the bottom (I also modified the straps here, but later decided to cut them off completely)
Cover the top half of the cups with large rectangles of fabric. Also pictured is the strip that will cover the bottom half of the cups.
The band is covered with fabric
Which is pleated. I am trying to create an illusion here that the band is broad to disguise the size of the cups.
The belt is a wide strip of upholstery fabric, covered with the pleated silk, which is pinned, pressed and stitched on.
The back bra fastening is removed and replaced with large rings
Then I sew an awful lot of beads on.
The shoulder straps are replaced with strong webbing, that is covered in the silk. The straps cross over at the top of the back, then pass through the opposite side ring before tying together centre back. This gives the look and support of a halter without the neck ache. The fabric on the top half of the cups is gathered and sewn onto the straps.
This is what it looks like on
The photos don't do it justice, the gems sparkle so much I am like a human discoball
