hey there! so i'm having trouble finding/thinking of good costumes, as i find that i can't really wear those cute little strappy shirts i see a lot of hoopers wearing cuz i'm a little too busty.  i find it easier to hoop with exposed shoulders, but i'd rather not have something that shows a lot of bra.  regular bras don't work so good cuz things tend to get out of control when i'm throwing the hoop around.. and i'd rather not wear a sports bra because they have large unattractive straps that are super obvious if you wear a tank.  

 

i tried getting this halter type bra thing from hemp & co. cuz i thought it might look fine just to wear, but it doesn't really stay put..

 

so i guess what i'm asking is if anyone has some good websites/tutorials on how to make or find costumes that look good and have a decent amount of built in support?   thanks for the help :)

HI! Fellow busty chick here :)

I don't exactly have costume ideas. But I wanted to share my thoughts on the sports bra thing. I really like this Nike sports bra: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?cp=USNS_KW_030711_GPLA&l=shop,p.... It comes in some really awesome colors like blue, camo, magenta, neons, etc (not all colors are listed on website, especially ones from past years). They are racer back, and I think they look really cute under tank tops. I am a 34D and the medium fits me well (the good side of snug).  If you are bigger, I would give the large or extra large a try.

I totally feel your frustration on not finding cute light whimsical tops for BOOBS! A bandeau top can work if you aren't moving around much, but once you start dancing everything just falls out :)

Let me know if you find anything, festie season is upon us and I would like to find something new :D

hmm thats pretty cute, that would even be covering enough that i could wear it on its on in the summer!  don't really like the nike symbol, but i could easily throw i a patch or embellishments to snazz it up and cover the brand.  thanks!!

Exactly! They can be the base for an entirely new cute top. You can just sew around them :)

Very cool. Now you've inspired me!

Hi!

I'm petite myself but I do custom design for all body types.

The top of this outfit is a double tie top; it wraps and ies from the front and from the back, as well as around the neck

My gallery is on FB and I have a few pre-made items on Etsy.

Feel free to message me if you're interested.

these tie tops with a sports bra underneath is perfect.  All the support and the unattractive straps don't show 

oooh thats super cute, i'm totally going to try making that.  thanks for sharing!
