Wet Formed Breast Cups For A Corset

[DoubleC]

I believe ruby is having a laugh at LW.Net's expense, or perhaps the low minded men of lw.net. Just use the blow up doll you already have with a small waiste and DD cups to make the corset. Should hold up to wet molding. Cheryl

There might be an alternative to wet forming - why don't you look at Terraflex?

Thanks dirkba, this looks cool and I am going to check it out.

Well Lucky, if it were me, for the breast pieces I would use something a little thicker so that there is more material to stretch. Probably something like 8/9oz. Make a form from wood, thoroughly case it, then using a glass slicker, of similar tool, work from the tip down to the base, with persistence the leather will thin out as it stretches. Just be patient and keep at it, you will get there.

Hi Bob

I looked at dirkba's idea and will try your as well, I tried to mould the 2 ox stuff but maybe it was not wet enough, Ill post some photos of my attempts.

I've used the bra idea for pattern making, had a customer in the UK wanted a bustier making - a very bustier, as she was a G cup. Bought a bra from an op shop, adjusted my tailors dummy to her other measurements and padded the bra out on the dummy.

I guess if you wanted you could do that and use fibreglass or plaster on the bra to get a form to mould on.

NO!!!! NO !!!

I'll just watch the post a little more before I say something stupid,,,,,,

saran wrap ,,,,foam,,,,,,never assume it can handle it ,,,stretching it ,,,,an award,,,,,,,,,,

,you lose out on the fun of wrapping her....

it does seem like anything molded to breasts should be hand-formed.

And you have a permanent souvenir as well!

I'll stop with that for now!!!!!!

luckyruby4,

Here is some more info on terraflex - the more I read about the product the more I am convinced it would be the way to go with your project.
