I couldn't have made this amazing bra without the help of my amazing costume designer friend Leyla. She taught me how to hand pin and sew together a bra and it is actually pretty easy and relaxing once you are used to it. :)

I started by cutting out the pattern pieces and carefully folding and pinning them to the bra I was using.

Here are both cups pinned and ready to be hand stitched.

Here it is in the process of being hand sewn with some added fringe and potential ribbon.

Yippee. After literally staying up all night the bra is completely sewn and ready for a few more embellishments.

I'll be adding this ribbon/bead pattern above the fringe.

Here's the front view with the Kuchi pendant attached. Thanks for looking. Comments are always appreciated!
