It has been a while since I last posted because my internet ran out :( but I am back!! Today's DIY is how to make your own strappy layering bra with just a bra and some elastic trim. I have seen heaps of these on Pinterest and I think they look amazing under other tops and could be a really cool idea for festivals under crop tops.
Below are some ideas and the steps for you to make your own!
What you need:
-A plain bra or bralette - I used a plain
black one that has been sitting in my drawer for ages
-Elastic trim to match your bra whatever
thickness you like - you can find this at sewing shops
-Needle and thread or a sewing machine
-Scissors
-Pins
1. Cut your elastic trim and pin it where you want it. Leave a bit extra on the ends just in case you need to adjust anything. As you can see I just started with a simple x shape.
2. Carefully try your bra on (without stabbing yourself like I did :/) to make sure the trim is pinned in the right place. Make any adjustments if you need to.
3. Sew on the elastic. I had to hand stitch because my sewing machine isn't going at the moment but it would be way quicker to use it if you have one.
After I tried it on again I decided I wanted another couple of straps so just added them on the same way.
Done! Super quick and easy and looks amazing under low cut tops. I am wearing mine under a top I got from I Heart Raves. Another thing to try would be one with straps on the back to wear under a backless top.
If you have any DIY requests please let me know!
