I had to make a smaller bra for the model of this event, so
I started with a basic black bra and added some simple gold trim. The costume
(Tribe Envy 2015) was so dayym sexy I needed to K.I.S.S. (Keep it Simple Stupid). This was probably one of the simplest items
I’ve ever made.
Next is one you have seen several times in various
stages. I’ve provided the links to the bra
and belt bra. I was in such in a rush to push out
product for this event, I didn’t have time to properly document the creation of
the feather collar. Below is a brief How
To, but I also included a link to a previous Feather Collar I made.
I’m starting to get the hang of this, no more
paying $100-200 for collar additions from carnival bands.
Link to Bra DIY; Link to Belt DIY; Link to a similar Feather Collar DIY
Collar How To:
1) Cut rounded shape from a cardboard box
2) Cut and hot glued wire to the shape of the cardboard
3) Upholstered the cardboard with fabric
4) Glued a white trim along bottom half of collar that will be used to secure the collar against the models back
5) Glued feathers to the shape of the collar
6) Glued black trim the inside of the collar to secure the feathers in place
7) Glued silver trim to make it a lil sparkly
The next bra was made with the bra above for an event last year. The headpiece and collar are from the DIY costume I made for Atlanta Carnival 2014
