off the chain.

i made this harness out of various chains a couple of weeks ago and it has been sitting on my form until now. i like how it looks like ribs, and thought on my next one i would add some more chain/ribs. i have always loved working with chain, and have made so many of these types of body chains, but this one was extra big and gold, so i love it--the bigger and blingier the better! i also made the bra out of a pair of red fishnet tights. i don't usually wear bra's unless i need coverage or a pop of color, and have been craving a red one, of course. voila! i hope you are enjoying your day. what are your plans for easter weekend? do tell!
