// More body jewelry

Here’s another non-bust-dividing harness thingy: Maeve from Girl Tuesday Jewelry — if you are not into that H&M option.

This kind of pieces are very easy to DIY, too. You need just some chain, jump rings, a clasp and pair of pliers. Dressmaker’s mannequin makes designing and measuring the actual chain lengths easier, but you can use your friend instead (prepare to make two!) or construct the piece first by tying some non stretching yarn to your own assemblage around your body, cut it away and use that as a reference.

// Chains & fringes

Posted on | August 10, 2009 | 5 Comments

The style blog brainwashing really works and I’ve developed some sort of need for body jewelry.  So visited recently in H&M in hope for some super discounted chains from clearance sales to break apart and to use as material for a DIY harness piece. To be honest this is really dangerous for me — I have decided to steer clear from high street buys made in a whim. I’m saving for the winter booties and one special purchase. So I left that beautiful body-con cotton satin dress to H&M and left out with pile of silver chain and one pair of discounted tights. (A girl can never have too much legwear in this country.)

I don’t like the idea of a chain or a strap going in between my boobs, so I thought to build something that goes simply around the shoulders. But back to the pile of chains; a weird co-incidence is that it happened to be like this, with no alterations involved:

Perfect, actually somewhat exactly what I was about to make. First I thought that I will settle with it as it is… …but on the other hand there will be few thousand exactly similar items around so I decided to adjust it just a little bit.

I added some black fringes to the shoulders, simple but quite effective. Perhaps adding some to the back, too. My chest does not need any extra wiggle…
