Thread: Padding a Bella with lots of Cut-outs

I am sure that I can figure something out but I was wondering if anyone has padded some of the Bella bras that have cut-outs all over?

How did you do it? I dont have a pic of it at the moment......

Maybe you can put in a flesh-colored lining first, then add the padding, then the final layer of lining? I've often wondered the same thing!

I just got a new Bella with a TON of cut-outs on the bra, and it is also heavily padded. She used flesh-colored netting over the cut-outs and wrapped the white/flech-colored padding with the same netting. She also added some little rhinestone sparkly flower thingies on the front on the cut-outs to hide where the padding is. I'll try to get a photo for you :)

Sorry, these aren't the best photos...

Yes!

And if you aren't able to get net, use nylons.

Love, love, love those cutouts!

Me! I used skin-tone fabric between the padding and the cutout. Works like a charm.

Excellent! I was thinking of something similar.

Thanks for posting the pics Khalilah, and that bra is stellar!

And thanks everyone else also for the advice.

It seems like the sheer stuff that Bella uses is like a higher-end panty hose type of thing (like hanes or something similar that come in a flat package, that arent all wadded up) what do you all think?

I've gotten pretty good with costume pictures. You should send it to me.,r:;

I think a high-end nylon would work, but you'd want to be really careful with storage and travel so as not to get snags or runs. It seems like the material Bella uses is a bit sturdier than nylon - somewhere between the fine-ness of nylon, but the sturdiness of netting. I think several layers of nylon would do the trick nicely :)
I'm hoping to getting around to some pro photos of my new babies (this is just one of them!!) - I was supposed to spend my money on other things, but I'm chomping at the bit to get them on film!

Thanks! When I described what I wanted, I simply said "LOTS OF CUT-OUTS!" and voila! Kind of risky, but absolutely gorgeous! I Bella

ohhhhh......cool, what else did you get post pics!

I need new photos too, I got a couple of things off the swap board including a stunning black bella, I love it so much!
