PART 2

Measure the rest of the exposed bra and cover that. Use plenty of fabric to overlap to the back. This will be covered with cotton liner fabric, after you've sewn on your bling.

Use sturdy needles to work through the stiffened cups.

When you're done, attach lining (costume's biggest enemy is perspiration which will deteriorate thread and make elastic dry and crumbly over time) and leave a bit open where your straps will get sewn into.

Measure your straps, and place either halter style or side strap style, depending on your body shape (again, let me know if you want the tutorial on this ;0)) and use GROS GRAIN to make your straps (no stretch), covered with your #1 & #2 fabric layers. Cover with bling if desired. Leave plenty of allowance; I prefer an inch or so.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
