Bras Mini Course

This beginner mini course teaches the building blocks of designing your own rope bra using structured shibari (Japanese rope) technique. You will learn to think in terms of frames and fills: first establishing a chest harness as a foundation, then constructing custom frames from Lower, Upper, Inner, and Outer lines (LI, LIO, LIpU, LU, LUI, LUIO). From there, the course covers the weaving techniques that fill selected portions of your frame: the Figure-8 Weave in double and single strand, the Twisted-8 Weave, the Cow Hitch used to lock loose weaves securely, and the Herringbone pattern. Worked examples such as the LIO Demi-Cup, Sunset Harness, Twisted-8 LIpU, and Twisted-8 Tube Top show how frames and fills combine into complete, repeatable designs. It is built for learners who already know a basic chest harness and want a clear, systematic way to plan and build their own rope bra patterns. As with all rope practice, the emphasis is on working thoughtfully, with clear consent and open communication between partners.
