Front-closure bras also offer a variety

Many women today are interested in sewing their own custom-fit bras. A bra cup mold is a plaster cast of the chest, which is used to make a pattern for sewing a bra. A bra made using this method is one of a kind, designed to fit an individual woman's unique measurements, unlike most commercially purchased bras. A bra cup mold can be made at home with a few supplies and a bit of time.

Front-closure bras are a convenient alternative to traditional back-clasp bras that can be difficult to reach. Front-closure cheap lingerie also offer a variety of back-strap styles that can be worn under sleeveless tops or racer back dresses. Bras that close in the front rarely come with an adjustable band, so it is important to choose one with the right fit so it can be worn comfortably all day long. Opt to wear a front-closure bra that is easy to put on and take off.

Lay the fabric over the cups. Smooth it out and then fold the edges over the cup and pin it. Use small stitches to sew on the fabric. You can sew through both sides of the fabric here, as this will be covered by the ribbon. The fabric will still be a little loose on the cup, so make a dart by folding the extra fabric and whip stitching it.

Cut ribbon to cover the top of the cups. Sew it onto each side of the bra. Depending on the size of the cup, you may need to make a straight dart here, as well. Take a large bead or button and sew it in the middle of the bra. Add your coins or beads wherever you like. You can cover the whole bra or just trim the edges.

Try on the bra and test a few dance moves with it on to make sure it's still comfortable and fits well and that there's nothing to fall off or injure you while dancing. Add more embellishments as desired.

Thread the needle and insert it into the cup, through the garment's lining, and back up again to create one stich, tying a small knot at the top and cutting off any excess. Tie small knots every 1 inch around the edge of the cup, connecting only with the lining of the clothing.

Sew the cup by hand, if making it permanent in the garment, by creating continuous stitches around the edges, attaching the cup and the lining, without the exterior of the garment being sewn. Skip sewing if the cups are temporary; to remove the cups, simply snip the ties.
