What are the best bras to use for a belly dance bra?
I am in the process of making a new Tribal-style belly dance costume and it will the first that I made. My other's I have bought, so I just want to make sure I'm doing it right!
I will admit, I am a bit busty in the top section (40DD), so I need to find a bra that not only fits, but that won't "shrink" in the cup once I get the cup covered with do-dads.
What are your recommendations for brands/types/size of bras? What have you used in the past?
My bra will be going under a ghawazee coat made out of stretch velvet, and will be covered in cowrie shells, tassels, and coins--if that helps.

I've made quite a few bras (tribal and the classic bedlah type) and I use underwire bras that have sturdy foam cups. Most people recommend using a size or two larger since the cups tend to shrink a little when you cover them with fabric and the shape might change once you add your decorations. Are you planning on wearing a choli underneath your bra? You'll need to take that into consideration when picking one.
Honestly, I've recycled old bra that had elastic shot in them. The bands and shoulder straps get cut off and thrown away anyway. Otherwise, I've purchased cheap strapless Fruit of the Loom ones before to use. It doesn't matter what color you use since you need to cover the cups and replace all the straps anyway. I’ve also heard good things about the bras at Sugar Petals. http://sugarpetals.com/bra_belt.asp
I also recommend that you make an x-back on your top. It will be a lot more comfortable than a halter style.
