calling all girls and creative people

i need to somehow construct a bra i can wear with backless stuff.

the 'backless' straps i bought are only good for very low backed things, as they still have visible straps which look a bit *ick* with real backless clothing. you can see from my icon how low the tattoo is - my usual bra strap falls just over where the long part down my spine has two upward spikes.

i've tried - believe me - braless is *not* an option.

the suction cup thingies look evil, and don't exist in a 30D.

i have some old bras i can cut up for experiment purposes.

one thought - cut all straps off bra - put two corset grommet things in each side, and one at the top of each cup. thread some type of strong black lacing type material through the holes, and tie the bra to me. This way, the lacing should look like the lacing on the backless top, right? or it should at least provide support without looking really trashy.

Would it work though? And does anyone know how to put those grommet things in in the first place?

Any other suggestions? (yes i have tried tape, and no it didn't work, and yes it did hurt when i took it off)
