Re: Assuit Bra covering advice needed

I used one rectangular piece that included a row of geometric designs at the top, a row of figural designs and then a row of geometric designs at the bottom. I pinned the top first running the geometric designs along the edge of the cup, pinned the bottom running another line of geometric desigsn on the bottom of the cups, then gathered in the center so that it ruched horizontally. Stitched the gathered portion down and folded excess around the sides of the cup. Stiched everything down. I actually ran a couple of gathering stitches top to bottom through the ruched part in the center between the cups like what you would have on a pinched front top. Stitched it down. I have a big turqoise scarab that I intend to sew there if I can ever find where I put it! Because I wear this under a U-front assuit beledi dress, I did not cover the chest band all the way back, just a couple of inches under the arms. Covered straps with assuit too.
