How to make costume bra (1)



I was asked by some of my students about the instruction of making bellydance costume bra. You can use "an ordinary (underware)bra with solid cups(full cops prefered),a good support,and two or more hooks at the back" as a base.
If the bra is a plain satin one, sometimes you can find a matched colour satin to make a matched belt, then decorate the bra directly without covering with another fabric. If you don't want to cover the bra with another fabric, just use a plain black bra, because you can always find a black satin without too much problem.

The fabric to cover the bra - you can use; satin, velvet, lycra, disco micro dot, foil, etc.

The photos are examples of simple black bra which is not covered by another fabric, and made a belt with a balck satin then added handmade motifs as decoration.
