Bra, Please


Talk about outside of a comfort zone. Introducing my first bra!

This long line bra is brought to you by Pin Up Girls (sold stateside online at Gigi's Bra Supply) and some left over leopard print from my fabric stash.  I had to make some modifications of course but overall, I think it's cute!!! What do you think?

Accordion Pleats Add Magic!


Accordion (aka pleated) polyester just does something for an off the shoulder dress, doesn't it?!
