Bras For a Cause (Breast Cancer Foundation)

"Nuts and Bolts"
This bra is specially made for the Bras For a Cause event hosted by the Breast Cancer Foundation to auction off bras to raise money for research, medication, etc. I was fortunate to have found out about this event by a school official and I jumped into it. I was so motivated to do this for a good cause where i stayed up the whole night and finished the project in a day. I was able to find sponsors who helped made this project succeed, so I'm grateful for them. The auctioned off price was said to be $45.00 or so, not bad. :) I really like creating things for good causes.

And along the straps I've hand sewn the fake ladybugs. Bottom portion is a very soft chiffon fabric that is pre-pleated- hand sewn to the bra.
