    any one think these could be turned into a belly bra with some construction?

    These look like they could made an easy bra with some added straps. already covered in sequins...maybe add a couple appliques or some fringe? any thoughts ladies?

    also, as bras...do you think these would be effective to wear with evening wear? I'm a D and I wondered if they'd be effective on larger cup sizes.any one tried these or different brands with success?

    Hmmm, I get "Invalid Item" from that link - looks like eBay have deleted the listing. Dodgy seller alert! .w.:

    Ah, now I see them! First off, I'm instantly wary about buying from prolific eBay sellers who have LOADS of items for very low prices and state their location as China or Hong Kong. I was one of those unfortunate folks who had my eBay account hacked by Chinese scam merchants, so now I kind of "recognise" these listings as seriously dodgy.

    As for the bra itself, I think it's one of those "magic" bras that is made out of that strange, gooey, slightly sticky rubbery stuff. You know, like the infamous chicken fillet? As such, I don't think you'd be able to sew anything onto it in order to make it suitable for dance - no straps, no appliques, no fringe - not a damn thing!

    I've never tried these sorts of bras, but I'd be very, very wary of trying them if you're a bigger cup size! While they give some cleavage "oomph" in photos, it's really just because they're pulling the girls together - they're not offering any kind of lift or support at all. Sadly I'm not a D - not even close - but I don't think these are a great idea, I'm afraid.

    I think that you get what you pay for. Since they are only charging less than a buck, I think you would be wasting your buck. I am a DD and I can tell you now that those things don't work for larger sizes (especially if you are not naturally perky or firm from implants. I say buy a good bra from your local store that you can try on and cover it yourself. A little more work but at least you know it will work in the end!

    I'm a C cup and they don't work for me. I tried wearing them under some tops I had that were strapless and they give zero support. Also, I agree with the posts earlier that you will not be able to sew anything at all onto these.
