The Beaded Top - And First Ever iPad Selfies

So here it is! Did anyone guess correctly? 

I bought this top whilst in Sheffield with a friend from Freshman's Vintage Clothing just off of Division Street. It fits me well but as you can see the straps are a little different to those of the bras I usually wear.

You get those little triangles under the straps, which, now looking at the photos, don't look too bad, but in reality and along with the vintage bust fillers -

- which makes me look about two cup sizes bigger, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but even so I don't like it as it feels like all the filling gets under your arms and it feels uncomfortable - I felt a DIY coming on. Just a little one. 

So I did some (very 21st century) sketches on my iPad - mostly to try the drawing program out -illustrating some strap examples (they're not too high tech, I can't figure out how to add text to my images yet!) 

The top one was the original plain straps, the left one with some ruffles, the right with rectangles of fabric gathered into the top.

Haven't quite decided which one to do yet, so it's time to see what supplies I have - to the stores!

The DIY will be up later on today.
