D I Y / Sporty Bra

Photobucket Photobucket

A project I did for NSMBL's DIY section

This DIY is a sequel on the T-strap bra I did a long time ago. Adding a few broad elastics to a strapless bra make it a much more practical piece(=no more pulling your stuff up). And I really don't mind these thick well placed black lines showing underneath a loose knit or sheer top.

instructions

-strapless bra
-some elastic and
-needle and thread

Decide which shape you want to create with the elastics and measure how long the straps should be. Cut the straps 2 cm shorter than these measurements as this is elastic and you wouldn't want the straps to fit too loosely. Sew on the elastic, most bra's are made out of several layers of fabric, so it is very easy to attach them invisibly.

You are so innovative with all of your DIYs, loved the first version of this and love this one just as much! I own a number of sheer garments and they are perfect for wearing underneath them.

Good article and a nice summation of the problem. My only problem with the analysis is given that much of the population joined the chorus of deregulatory mythology, given vested interest is inclined toward perpetuation of the current system and given a lack of a popular cheerleader for your arguments, I'm not seeing much in the way of change.
