A practical guide to transforming lingerie bras into dance costume pieces

Centered on a four-phase construction process, this sewing guide shows how a store-bought lingerie bra can become an embellished performance piece. Step-by-step photographs and illustrations support techniques for making cup patterns, covering bras and straps, and adding fringe, beadwork, appliqués, and jewelry. The material addresses costume needs across ballroom and belly dance, keeping the emphasis on adaptable decoration and construction rather than a single finished design. Its compact format makes the book a focused reference for the specialized craft of bra-based dance costuming.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Dancers creating ballroom or belly-dance costume pieces
  • Sewers learning bra-covering and embellishment techniques
  • Costume designers working with fringe, beadwork, appliqués, and jewelry
