I stopped by Michael's last night to pick up some yarn for scarves I'm making for co-workers... Anyway, while I was in there, I saw a display of beads that were new. I remembered an old black bra at home and thought that i'd buy some of the beads and try to make my own embellished belly dance bra.
So far it's turned out really well! I don't think I'm going to cover both cups entirely but I've beaded along the upper edge of the bra and attached this neat dangly thing from the center. I'll post pictures of what I have so far tonight. Then you can tell me if it's ugly or if I need to keep adding!
Oh and the beads are called Lost and Found. They're a mix between looking a bit gothic and antique. Mostly black and silver and gray with antique looking silver and gold accents.

What do you think?
I have to say, I'm quite impressed with myself at this point in the game. :) Hahaha...But want to add some little "swags" of beads to the bottom and some fancy fabric around the straps... -
