Where can I get padding???

curl1982 · 06-08-2008, 03:41 PM

Hi!

I have just bought a gorgeous egyptian style costume on ebay but the description says it fits either 36/38B, 34/36C or 32/34D without padding... I am a bit confused as I am a 34B. So do I need padding know? I havent received the costume yet (only bought today).

I already have a costume and the bra has really really thick padding which gives me my dream boobs!

Does anyone know where I can get padding from? And can I sew it in myself (without big knowledge)?

Hey curl, i know your problem! I lost about 12 kgs and my boobs shrunked:O
the best thing to do, when you have a push up, is buying those ''chicken filets'' or a natural bra, and stick it in. but a sock with a few stiches also does the trick

Cotton (in bundles that you can tear apart as needed, not in ball form) stuffed into the lining works wonders. I have a friend that folds shoulder pads in half and sews them into the cups. Figure out where you want to push your girls and firmly affix padding accordingly.

Yes, do you have fabric stores in your area? I get all my bra pads from fabric stores. I have also found them at some department stores, I don't know what types of stores you have in your area of the world that would carry these. They are shaped just right and you can sew them in under the lining. They come in a couple of different thicknesses. They are thin at the top and thick at the bottom where one needs the fullness. And they will never shift their fullness areas either.

The ones I use are called "Full size Bust Enhancers" by Dritz.

I got it last week! The skirt was a bit too big. It fitted alright but the stretchy lydra got pulled down when I shimmied = me standing there with only knickers on hahah. I have sewn two 6inch pieces of stretchy polyester band on each side of the inside of the skirt - Fits perfectly now!

I bought some cotton wool and I am going to stuff the bra tonight, then close the pocket again. Hope that makes sense :-)

Pic attached - but that's not me, it's the seller I bought it from on ebay.

xxx Thanks for your help guys!
