Supportive Choli

I find that in Tribal dance I have run into a issue. I could wear a bra then a choli then the decorative coin bra on top but then I have way too many layers. More layers more chance the straps not lining up and looks bulky. Plus I have a nice tattoo on my back I like to show it off so I want a backless Choli, but as a D cup I need the support. I can just wear a good supportive coin bra but I have wanted a supportive Choli  if for nothing else to practice in .
I did find a good free choli pattern at http://members.iinet.net.au/~ramsden/tribal/index.html but it does not do much in the support area and did not like the darts . I added a lining to the pattern which help a little bit with the support but not enough. I am going to rework the straps and the lower band. I hope to get pictures up in the next day or so.   .

I wish I could find cellophane in silver gold and black. My daughter has me working on a set in red and promises to pose with them on and wear them to all the finest events.

I think I should do a set in purple for myself . But the butterfly style seems more fitting for me.
 Wished I had been able to get the headdress and the earwings to work in the outfit I wore for Riverssance 2010. That was so much fun. For those who asked about the dancing butterfly toy I am working on it I hope to have it listed by the end of the month. ( Edited ) I have closed my Artfire. but I am working on restarting https://www.etsy.com/shop/DinesDesigns , 

Starting out

So I am new to blogger and blogging. I am hoping to learn more about the in and outs of doing business on the web and the role that blogging has in this new marketplace.

 I do a bit of everything. I sew and design outfits for dance. I love creating jewelry using mixed mediums. I am learning to create 3d art and one common theme is I love the Fae, fairies, sprites, pixies,wee ones call them what you will. The idea of magical creature living in our world inspires me to try to create beauty.
