Help! I need inspiration for a decorated bra

I'm doing the London Moonwalk next Saturday. I've done the training, got the blisters but... still have a plain white bra - the theme is "Rock Around the World' I am generally creative, I have access to dyes, sewing machine, glitter and sparkly stuff/beads etc. and 2 days.

Any starters? Grin

Look at the old Gaultier cone style bras favoured by madonna in the 80s, & maybe base a design on that idea - over emphasise & turn turn the bra cups into mountains perhaps & decorate base & back with foliage & use some black webbing tape sewn over straps & back strap with a white running stitch, to create a road effect - with foliage showing at sides - then stitch on things like mini rockers on motor bikes

OR - make cups into a couple of Globes - maybe use those polystyrene balls covered in coloured tissue paper for sea & bits of cut out leather or pvc in various colours for the land - cover the rest of the bra in black leather or PVC & decorate with studs, eyelets etc - so you end up with 2 large "worlds" popping out of a classic rock chic leather bra top - wear with fishnet gloves, wrist bands etc

either of these should get you noticed

Have fun :)

I am generally completely useless hopeless at crafts, what can I do? I don't mind not having a theme I just need some simple ideas. I have access to....a glue gun and some needle and thread. Heck, I've left this late haven't I?
