Alternatively, the fringe may be attached at the base of the bra and extend around the back or only across the front. The surface of the belt and bra are stitched in one color of sequin with a contrasting color used to create a design on each cup and in the center (front and back) of the belt. This is often a flowing abstract design, or sometimes recognizable desings diamonds, flowers etc. are used.
