The New New Swapmeet Purchases Thread

I would love to make the belly cover from the fishnet stockings but I can't find any that don't have a big ole seam running up the front and back of them. The Danskin fishnets also have the seam so how do you do this?? I'm mystified....

Najla - wow! That costume looks great on you! It was mine at one time, yes - I'm wearing it on the main page of my website, also with a black skirt! It's interesting to see it again. ..g.:

The "naked" dress I bought from Ezma! I had a nude lycra underskirt made, since I didn't trust the little mesh booty shorts that came with it, lol. I also took the shoulder wrap and used around the hips and had a soft pink mesh bolero jacket made to cammoflage the tattoos on my arms.

Absolutely stunning!!! I love what you did to it. You are gorgeous!

Cut the tights right above the crotch. Turn sideways. Attach (or not) to a pair of underwear. Voila! The seams are down the sides!

Someone also wrote a description of how to make the crotch. I prefer attaching the cover to the briefs I am going to wear with each costume. Having had a history of UTI's and other girlie problems when I was dancing, I go by the rule of the fewer layers down below, the better.

This did get me into garter belts and stockings, but that is a much different thread!
