Sewing project- Adding a bra top to my dress

This is what I was up to last night: I wanted to add some support/ coverage to the top of this dress but rogue bra straps are not a good accessory



It just worked out that I had an old bra (with padding, yay!) that had worn out straps.

Instead of throwing it away, I cut all the straps and band pieces off. The cups and the little piece that connected them to each other was left.

Then I pinned it in place on the dress. Try it on to make sure it's where it should be (without stabbing self with pins).

All that was left was to sew it in place.

 The dress has a lining behind the chest area so I stitched carefully not going through both layers. This kept the stitching from showing on the front :)

Looking good!

and feeling crafty!
