I started by buying a sports bra, which I wanted to use as a base. I chose it close to the original color so there won't be another color popping off the lycra, which we will sew later on top. I repainted the rubber band white with textile paint (Nerchau textile art 102) and let it dry for 24 hours, then ironed the inside to seal the paint. Then I printed out the text on an A4 paper, which I will draw on the elastic band of the bustier later on.. Cut the letters out with a model knife. Be careful!

Apply the layout and center the text well. The paint I used was Cadence Fabric paint F-630 SIYAH. If this method is difficult for you, you can lightly outline the letters first and then fill them with black paint. While it dries, cut the straps and part of the cups of the bustier so that it resembles a Brigitte bra. Once completely dry, sew the pink lycra to the base bustier. For the mesh part, I used a blouse that I had for years and I never wore. Of course, it is cheaper and more appropriate to buy the fabric itself if you do not have a garment available for recycling. I cut 8 long pieces of the gold stretch fabric and began to pin them onto the blouse. This way was easier to determine the end of the net than measuring and sizing it. 

10-14.

In photo 10 are all the pinned pieces, without the collar. Once you are sure that this is the final placement, sew onto the net. I sewed it by hand because it is easier for me for such stretchy fabrics. It is also possible to sew on a machine, but only with a needle designed for stretchy fabrics. For the collar, I cut 1 wider piece of the gold stretch. You should have enough fabric for 4 folds. Here's what I did - I folded a small part of the top and bottom with the face to the gold part and folded again towards the end to make a "new" thinner ribbon. It is also possible to make it from 3 separate pieces - 2 narrower and 1 wider.

15 is the finished bustier. I really liked how it turned out. The best thing is that I didn't spend too much on this look and I managed to recycle some old materials!
