Dancing tops for large bust

[Chani]

Does anybody have any recommendd sellers of larger cup bra sizes? Most sellers go up to DD only.

I haven't a clue, which is why I make my own. Rita Abi Khalil (melbourne) was selling off her old costumes which is how I got my first bedlah with fitted cups. She might be able to point you in the right direction. Or you could have a chat with Rachel Bond (sydney). She's pretty busty too so she might be able to recommend some sellers.

Thanks. Yes, I got my professional top from an ex dancer who was also busty. I have made my own bra top and it came out well and was supportive but it took me every evening for months to complete. Rachael was my instructor for a while in Sydney, I didn't think of her figure as busty, but I will ask her if she knows of a place to get larger costumes...or if she knows a larger cup sized dancer who might be selling. Mychallenge is also that I have small hips/bottom and my ideal would be to find another dancer with the same taste as myself who needs a small top and a bigger belt/skirt so we could mix and match. I'm dreaming. Chani

BTW for anybody in Australia interested in constructing your own dancing bra there is a great store called Booby Traps that has everything you need and they also do workshops and teach you everything from scratch. Our troupe attended a workshop together and by the end of the day we had all constructed our base bras and only had to then decorate them at home. Some of us had never sewn anything before. It was very satisfying but I'll admit the beading did me in - took ages, hands were hurting, so many beads to sew through thick layers of fabric required a pair of pliers sometimes. Booby Traps is on the Northern Beaches of Sydney but I see they now have a website.- Booby Traps | Bra Kits | Corsets | Shapewear | Sewing lessons | Warriewood

Back in the dark ages, I bought a lot of bras from Frederick's of Hollywood. The catalog has a rep for some pretty sleezy clothes but they had great bras in large cup sizes.

You can have the stretch velvet dance bras custom made at L Rose designs. You could decorate it and wear it with one of their vests. You might consider wearing tops that allow you to wear your own bra underneath.

Ask the Belly Dance Costume Goddess: Bras for Large Bustlines

I'm confused... are you asking about a retailer that carries larger sized bras (above DD cups) or are you asking about a retailer that carries larger sized bedlah? :think:

The swap threads over on Bhuz are a good place to find bedlah in unusual sizes, especially if you can identify a dancer who is your 'body twin' as many people have done.
