As you may recall, the Jan. 14th blog was about the "C" cup bra purses and showed you some of the details that go into making them. Well, it takes about 8 hours to design and sew one. I started getting a little weary of the lengthy process and was looking for more instant gratification.(Like that's a surprise to anyone who knows me!) One day I picked up an "A" cup bra so I could experiment with it, and boy, did I ever have fun.
The more I looked at the bra the more I realized it, too, could be a bra purse.....just more of an evening bag because it would be much smaller than the original bra purse. After tinkering with the design for a few days the "Ta-Ta" tote was born.
Ta-Ta totes still have the gorgeous dangly fringe hanging down and are embellished with Swarovsky crystals like her big sister, the Bra Purse. But there is no base or drawstring bag on the Ta-Ta Tote and its smaller size makes it perfect for holding your keys, cell phone, lipstick and credit card while out on the town for the evening.
I like to use as much of the original bra as possible in each design, so I came up with the idea of using the hook and eye closure as the way to hold the purse closed. Then I decided to emphasize the closure with huge Swarovsky's.....remember, when it comes to embellishments I always say more is better!
How do you like this zebra number? It's one of my favorites.
And believe it or not, the pink closure and metal strap pieces were already on the bra. I think I might faint! Black and white and hot pink.........be still my heart.
So, as you start thinking about what to wear for Valentine's Day and your date with your special someone, don't forget about the accessories. Think about it, you need a bra purse to complete your outfit! Simply contact me at 727-348-4013 and I'll "hook" (get it? bra hook? Ok, ok, I'll stop it now.) you up.
Ta-Ta for now, (sorry, I couldn't help myself)
