You do awesome work! I too have been "blinging" my own suits for my competitions. I have a question, where can I find a web site that sells the crystal pin looking attachments that I've seen on the two piece tops between the two cups? Or, do you have any ideas on how to make them? I have a contest in April and want to start making my new suit asap! Thanks in advance! Melanie Hey jennicat! You do awesome work! I too have been “blinging” my own suits for my competitions.

I am REALLY small-breasted now that I'm getting close to competition weight. Any ideas on breast pads, cutlets etc? Do I put the cutlets inside the liner of my top, or next to my skin? Wanted to get that out of the way before I started gluing the rhinestones. Hi ladies – no one seems to address this issue so I thought you might know.

How fun you are thinking about designing your own suit. I really can't give advice on the Bedazzler as I have never used one. I just looked at the website and I couldn't tell how the the stones were sticking. My concern would be that the glue wouldn't stick but I've never used one maybe it would be fine. The glue I used was super duper strong and I think I've only had one stone to come loose. If you decide to try the Bedazzler I would practice on a scrap piece of fabric first but you probably already planned on that! :) Dreamstine - I knew I wanted a swirly looking design so found images by typing words like "swirly", "baroque", "vine pattern", "fleur du lis" "victorian" and narrowing the search field to "illustrations". When I saw the Christmas tree I thought it would work on my one piece if I turned it upside down. So I bought it and I simplified the pattern by getting rid of half the lines on the tree. For the cups of the suit, I started with a part of the tree for inspiration but then I ended up drawing my own design. I never found a design I could just copy right onto the suit. I had to modify it a bit. Thanks for stopping by!!!! Thank you very much! How fun you are thinking about designing your own suit. I really can’t give advice on the Bedazzler as I have never used one.

I'm curious about the "bling" portion though. Would one of those "bedazzler" tools from the infomercials work, or do they need to be hand glued. I would love to replicate a passionfuit design. :0 I was also curious about the dreamstime website. How exactly did you find images? Thanks so much! Your suit came out awesome BTW.

Sorry about my slow reply I've been out of town. Hmmmm? You know in all honesty I'm not sure. To sew the loops my mom, who did most (okay all) of the sewing, looped it over and sewed across it 3 different places so I could adjust the tightness of it. Does that make sense? In other words we folded the strap over and horizontally across three times about a half an inch in between each section. The did that by machine. As far as the hooks go...I put on the suit and we marked where we thought they looked best and then hand sewed those on. If you are unsure you might just want to take it to a seamstress. Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Have fun at your show!!! Hi Jen! Sorry about my slow reply I’ve been out of town. Hmmmm? You know in all honesty I’m not sure.
