    where to find thick, big clear straps Eman Zaki uses?

    I checked with my local fabric/sewing store and they said nothing thicker than a bra strap exists, but obviously it does..internet isn't helping any either.

    Anyone know?

    thanks!

    Jo-ann's has it :) This was my discovery of the year! It isn't strapping at all. Eman cuts it from 30-40 gauge vinyl.
    Check out my seashell bra photo where I used it. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/f...type=1&theater

    Okay, next question...

    How do you attach it? when I try to sew it, it perforates & tears. Do I just need a longer stitch?

    Yes, longer stitch and a longer "anchor" attached to the bra cups

    Your welcome :) Before I found this I spent HOURS looking online for "plastic straps". Post photos of your project when you're done.
