DIY harness ideas

a simple suspender style elastic harness with double belted waist, but I could extend the shoulder straps and let a D-ring dangle from each...
and it could cross over in the back...
leather and elastic combo harness belt
 and a pre-made harness bra could be reworked...
 too bad there are no O-rings on the back that could be reused...
I do not like the bra idea and the silly bottom bit, preferring just suspenders, but it is adjustable and has plenty of reusable O-rings which are expensive...
perhaps reworked using faux leather suspenders like these...
and a black belt like this to loop over and then stitch - totally removable...
though this one actually clips on like suspenders / braces...
I think that's the look I'm going for - a double strap Sam Browne belt from WWI with straight braces but with a Y back rather than criss-crossing straps.
whereas a single strap Sam Browne belt would go diagonally, left or right. This is Brit from WWII.
and this is the Australian ANZAC "Aussie Digger" Sam Browne belt  in burnished oxblood that looks like it could be from WWI and worn at Gallipoli but it is quite current and made to measure!
 this Zana Bayne Dani Classic Leather Harness in Burgundy captures the spirit...
 and I love that it has the O-rings...
and the Y back!
But I like the idea of a brown double belted harness and it would look great over a black dress
and it could be made with four such brown skinny belts, with or without O-rings added...
and on WWII German SS general Josias Prinz zu Waldeck und Pyrmont.
and the modern version, believe it or not, made in Germany!
