Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, especially the “Midnights” era. The bodysuit she wears is just iconic, you know? So, I decided to make my own version for fun. I mean, who wouldn’t want to sparkle like TayTay?
First things first, I needed a base. I found this plain black bodysuit online, nothing fancy, just a regular, stretchy one. The real magic was going to be in the decorations, so I didn’t want to spend too much on the base. I am not a millionaire, right?
Next, the fun part—blinging it out! I hit up a bunch of craft stores and bought every kind of sequin, bead, and rhinestone I could find. Mostly blues and purples to match the “Midnights” vibe, but I threw in some silver and gold for extra sparkle. This part took forever. Seriously, my fingers were so sore after a while.
Now, I am not gonna lie, gluing everything on was a total pain. I started by sketching out a rough design on the bodysuit with a fabric marker. It was kind of a mix of swirls and stars, trying to copy Taylor’s look but also adding my own twist. I just draw whatever I thought looked good.
- I used fabric glue to stick on the bigger sequins and beads.
- For the smaller rhinestones, I went with a hot glue gun because it was faster. Be careful with this though, I got burned a few times.
- I worked in small sections, letting each part dry before moving on. This was super important to make sure everything stayed in place.
It took me, like, a whole weekend to finish the whole thing. I spent hours hunched over that bodysuit, but it was so worth it. The final result was amazing, if I do say so myself. I even added some extra details, like a few larger crystal pieces on the shoulders and around the neckline to really make it pop.
The Big Reveal
I finally wore it to a Taylor Swift-themed party, and everyone loved it! I felt like a total rockstar, even though I can’t sing like Taylor, haha. It was definitely a conversation starter, and I got tons of compliments. I think I nailed it.
Honestly, this project was way more work than I expected, but it was also super rewarding. Now I have this awesome, one-of-a-kind bodysuit that I can wear whenever I want to feel a little extra fabulous. Plus, I learned a lot about crafting and patience. Would I do it again? Maybe not anytime soon, but I’m really glad I did it this time. If you’re thinking about trying something like this, I say go for it! Just be prepared to dedicate some serious time and effort, and don’t forget to have fun with it.
