outcast Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 For that extra perfect fit I would wet mould veg tan leather to the customers breasts. But that's just me. I'd go that far to ensure the customers satisfaction. Quote

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 8, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 8, 2009 Thank you Denise, thank you. I spent over an hour running through sections trying to find that thread! Quote
Contributing Member Denise Posted March 8, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 8, 2009 I used the search function at the top right. I put "leather bra" in quotation marks so it looked for the phrase and the only two threads that came up were this one and the one I posted. I am no expert in searching for things on the net, but this search function works pretty well for me. Quote
Bob Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Boy oh boy, it sure didn't take long for this thread to get in the ditch..... Mind you, I did think it quite an idea alright.... Quote
