The Bra is finished!

Well, sort-of finished. I will keep fussing with it, be sure.

It's seriously Heavy Metal!

How I made it:

- Bought a strapless bra (i've never sewn a bra before, so I didn't even want to go there)

- Constructed two long ties out of sturdy stretchy velvety material. sewed those onto the bra as halter straps.

- Bought trim at fabric store, purchased coins and plackets from an Ebay seller, made the pleather flower out of some pleather scraps I had lying around, found the pendant at the Swap Meet (only paid $5! score!), and purchased chain at a bead shop.

- Sewed all the bits on, and TA DA! I have a sassy jingly belly dance bra to call my own.
