How to cover a bra?

Do you know if there are any sites that shows the best way to do it? I just bought some amazing lycra fabric and want to try to make a costume. Don´t think the skirt will be a problem, but the bra is a different story......

Shira has a very good how-to on her site, written by sometime Bhuzzer Dina, the Costume Goddess. It includes a useful diagram.

Any time! Good luck, and please report back on how it goes. I really want to do this but haven't got up the nerve just yet!

Best,
Suzana

For the cups: Especially since you're using lycra, you can cut a big circle/oval (bigger than the cup by about two inches in each direction, pin it to the top edges, and stretch it to fit everywhere else, usually with a small dart in the lower side area of each cup. Pin everything in place. Stitch the dart in place, then turn the extra fabric to the inside and stitch it to the cups.

I know there are more photos out there of this kind of thing.

There are also some pictures of my last project on my tribe page, , ala Dawn Devine Browns Embellished Bras.
