Belly Dancer Bra Top

Description

This top started out life as a cotton/elastane bra.

Every centimetre of cup space has been embellished with beads. The focal piece of each cup is a handmade fused dichroic glass cabachon. These are surrounded with hundreds of tiny seed beads, genuine freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals, handcrafted polymer clay beads, shellbased pearls, czech glass and turquoise.

Each cup is fringed with green and lilac bugle and cube beads. The central piece joining the cups is covered with blue satin seed beads, a vintage swarovski button and a complementary blue swarovski heart dangle. The right cup has a goldtone charm in the shape of a bra hanging from a strand of lilac pearls.

The front section of the shoulder straps are embellished with black bugle beads for that extra glitz. The rest of the top is left undecorated for maximum comfort. Each cup has been lined with fine padding to protect the stitching and prevent irritation to senstive skin.

This top should only be handwashed with gentle soap and dried in a shady spot. Besides which, if you left it on your clothesline - someone would surely steal it!

The model pictured is a 32A in bra size. The size this started out as is a 36B, however the lining/padding has meant that either an A or B cup could wear this confidently. It measures 28 inches unstretched, or 36 inches stretched. This means that anyone from a 28A to a 36B (or C if you wanted to show a lot of cleavage!) could wear this top.

Due to the value of the piece and the many hours spent making it, I cannot offer a refund and risk it being shipped back and forth across the world - so please do not buy it unless you are confident it will fit. I am more than happy to provide further information or photos as requested. If you can get to Sydney, Australia - please feel free to contact me for inspection.

This top will be an heirloom. It is a piece that will ensure that you are never left wondering "What on earth will I wear to that party...."
