sistawendy: me looking confident in a black '50s retro dress (mad woman)
I ordered a few skimpy tops to wear at Burning Man because I didn't feel like sewing them. You can guess what happened next: somebody, probably yours truly, messed up the order and got one that was much too small. "Return it," I hear you say, but the item in question was a custom-printed bra with "Carpe" on the right cup and "Diem" on the left. (Yeah, I picked the text.) A return is not going to happen.

What to do? Alter it, natch: 1" lace around the upper edges of the cups, which fortunately I don't spill out of. And the transparent elastomer bra straps - awful for the playa anyway - I replaced with a black ribbon halter. It's Burnerific, baby.

I find those transparent straps unpleasant feeling even in cool weather!

Love the text on the cups.
