Hello Ladies.
As we whip ourselves into frenzies trying to find the perfect costume, we often forget the real life challenges and snafus that the people who design and make our costumes can face in the production process.
As a result of all this bra talk, I got a very unexpected comment from Ms. Sexy who is a carnival costume designer/producer.
Ms. Sexy spoke about bras having some type of padding or lining in the cups, because classic type bras are very hard to decorate since they have no shape. She went on to say how she had to decorate a bra for larger breasted masquerader while the masquerade wore the bra, to give the bra some shape.
It is things like this that I would have never given a second thought. Therefore, I asked Ms. Sexy if she could offer any more tips to us "Well Blessed In The Chest" ladies who may choose to send our own bras.
This is the advice she offered.
Molded or padded bras is a must.
Solid color
Smooth fabric (no lace, mesh, or bows)
Switching the straps to create a racer back helps some bras (not all), to give a little extra cleavage.
Always make sure that the bra fits and is not too small because sometimes the cup size will shrink after being decorated.
These are good tips to keep in mind, and good pointers to discuss with the mas camp when inquiring about sending your own bra.
Thank you Ms. Sexy!
Until next time. Stay Sexy!!

im also a costume producer in the uk and whilst i agre with most of what was said i have never heard or witness having to decorate a bra on somebody i would hate to burn someones tot totts wit my glue gun! classic bras do have shape but they dont have boy to them! i had faced some serious challenges as my supplier only could cater upto a 44GG and i had at least 3 girls bigger going upto a 44JJ which i have never heard of they however can only get a classic lace faced bra the best way to decorate these is to put on a half body shell manequin and stuff it wit fabric until its solid then slip under the cup some greas proof paper as the hot glue wont stick to it.........
designing on a live person sounded far-fetched to me too, lol
ur suggestion , bachnalmas i thought was the obvious way to go
