Sa'dia's Purple Alterations

Before alterations front

Before alterations back

The bra cups on this costume were super tiny and a bra extension just wasn't going to cut it. After much frowning, I was bolstered by this alteration by Ozma and I decided to mount the old bra directly on top of a new bra with new side straps. The belt also need some love but not so extensively. I took very few pictures of this alteration. I also forgot to take pictures of the finished product. But here is a quick overview of the process.

• Cut off all bra fringe
• Cut center connector of bra cups.
• Cut off side straps.
• Attached bra to new bra and made new side straps (in black.)
• Salvaged sequins from old straps, shook them together with some (sort of ) matching purple sequins and filled in new straps, bra cups, and center connection.
• Mimicked bra edge design and filled in with more (sort of ) matching beads and gold sequins.
• Replaced bra fringe in new design.
• Removed some fringe from back of belt and replaced with gold swags to mimic front of belt.
• Trimmed everything with gold beads.
