The new Neckelmans bra

pictures of the altered neckelmanns bra:

detail of the beading. I replaced the fleshtone bra with a sturdy underwire bra and covered it in matching green fabric. The sidestraps were stretchy, so I replaced them with sturdy fabric, covered them in the same fashion as the original straps.Because of the constructionwork with wire and boning, this bra COULD be worn strapless. I'll safe that challenge for another day, I've added the shoulder straps by now :)

wow! That looks fantastic! The shape of the cups is very pretty - covering everything but with a deep decolleté... super!

Creating that particular shape was very hard, I always wonder how corset constructors create the 'heartshape' cleavage. Because by nature fabric is flat, and your breasts are curvy, so with vertical seams you can't get the shape you want.

Hence the boning and wire ;)
