this is scary. but great. i've been wondering about making a bra for real. i finally found one that fits right, supports right, and looks nice. the looking nice part is very difficult when you are overly "blessed". (or cursed depending on how you look at it). most of the ones that fit me are not pretty and have enough fabric to hold small children. let us know what you come up with. i sure would be interested in knowing.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I wish I had asked before I started, as it would have made things easier. In retrospect, I should have made the whole thing off the bra, made a lining as well, and then joined the two pieces with the real bra in the middle. But I started adding pieces as I thought of them, which made it more difficult. And I wish I had thought of the folded dahlia - great idea!
I'm making progress - I made a bias tube of fabric which I folded over the edges and am hand tacking with a tapestry needle and pearl cotton - it's the only way I can get through all the layers. Should be done in a couple days and I'll try to remember to post photos.
Thanks!
