Tips and Tricks for your Handmade Harness Bra

Yeeey! Since the success claimed on my Instagram let's talk about them here!

I've always wanted an harness bra but they were always too expensive for me so I asked myself "why don't you make your own one?" and here we are:

I'm really happy about all of them!♥♥
they came out nice and I can't wait to wear them properly ♥ also they came out a lot cheaper than the branded ones.  Just saying~

This isn't a tutorial because there are plenty of them on all the web. You can easily find them just digiting "diy harness bra" or "how to" or whatever.

Here I will tell you some tips and tricks that I learned in order to help you speed the process and avoid to make my mistakes (｡¬.¬｡)

★ So before start I recommend you to watch a lot of tutorials 'cause everyone has it's own method. Watch a bunch of them and choose to follow the ones you like the most.

★ Now, if you have a model already in your mind keep it but ask yourself if it will work properly on your body.
 If not, makes some changes, simplified it and then make a draw of it and choose how many elastic stripes you will have to sew toghether.

★ Take your inspiration from some good brand that has made it before you. They're tested models, it's a good idea copy them at least for your base.

★ Take your measurements carefully, one at the time and start to cut the elastic precisely.
!!★ It's always better add some inch to be really sure it will fit you properly and then try it directly on your body and cut out the pieces too long if needed.

★ For every single stripe you have to:
  measure - cut - measure on your body - adjust it if needed - sew it
it's the only way to not screw up xD

★ If you have one, use a sewing machine. The seams last longer and all became more resistant.

On my harness I made adjustable straps all over. It's not really necessary if you are the only one to wear it. But it may help if, for example, you want to use it over a shirt, ora dress instead of under it. They also prevent the stripes to be too tight at your body so your skin will not bounce between the stripes.

 I made them in a very cheap way using some plastic hooks.

These are

 just like a common bra.

You can make them more professional of course, but in my opinion they are just fine like this ;)

★ Have a good time making them and take all the time you need.
it's a loong process so maybe it's a good idea make one with a good background music.

★ Try, try, try.
 The first one maybe will not come out perfect, maybe it will be a disaster but learn from your mistakes, keep trying and you will be just fine!
