Demonstrate how to put on a bra

Discuss the benefits of under-wire versus elasticized bras, padding and fabric options, types of bra clasps, and colors.

Demonstrate how to put on a Queen Costumes supplier by slipping the arms through the straps, fitting each breast into the cups and clasping the back. Adjust the straps for a comfortable and snug fit.

Encourage the young woman to try on multiple types of bras for her size so she can find one that fits comfortably.

Select the style bra that will get the most use, considering the young woman's wardrobe. Neutral colors such as white, cream and tan are versatile and can be worn under most shirts without being visible.

Purchase more than one bra if possible so that she can wash one while the other is in use.

Wash delicates and bras using cold or cool water whenever possible. Soak for 15 to 30 minutes and rub together durable areas, such as bra elastic, when needed. Optionally, agitate the lingerie in a washing machine for five minutes.

Use small amounts of lingerie-friendly detergent when washing your delicates. Borax works well for hand washing, otherwise use laundry detergent designed for cold water.

Rinse any padded lingerie until you can gently squeeze the padding without seeing signs of soap residue. If you have used too much soap, rinse the garment in the washing machine but remove it prior to the spin cycle.

Avoid the dryer in most cases to keep the fabrics and elastic looking new. For delicates, other than bras, lay the washed and rinsed garment on a towel and roll it up to remove excess water. Repeat if necessary. Then, dry flat on a rack or hang. For bras, gently squeeze excess water and hang to dry. Alternatively, stuff the bra with socks rolled into a ball shape to absorb excess water and lay cup size up on a towel to dry.MORE:Wholesale Queen Costumes

The longline is a design of a strapless bra

The longline is a design of a strapless bra that fits the body over the breast and waist. The purpose is to provide both support for the breasts and a shaping effect along the waist. Strapless longline bras will have support built into the sides of the bra to prevent it from bunching or riding up. Cups of the longline bra may include underwire support and foam padding. This style of bra is also called a bustier and can be designed for wear as its own top with a variety of color choices and ornamentation.

Adhesive Queen Costumes supplier
Adhesive strapless bras are backless to allow for plunging backs of dresses and tops. The bra itself uses a light adhesive to stick the bra over the breast area. Adhesive bras provide minimal support and are not a good option for large-breasted women. Adhesive bras may be made of silicone, pressed foam or paper cups and lightweight fabric. Padded and nonpadded options are available. Most are reusable for six or more wearings.

Check your clothes. If you are going out without a bra, get dressed, then jump in place, walk back and forth in front of the mirror and bend over. Make sure you can't see your breasts through your shirt. If you don't like what you see, don't go braless.

Take off your top and put on a bra. Then see what your outfit looks like. You may find your outfit looks better if you wear a bra underneath it.

Look for strapless bras with long straps so the bra can hook lower. Wear these bras with tops with low backs. The long strap goes across the upper belly and holds the back of the bra lower on the back.

Consider adhesive bras. These bras stay in place with a skin-friendly adhesive. They provide some support and may create cleavage. Adhesive bras are great for backless tops. Some adhesive strapless bras can be reused, others can't. If you're large-chested, adhesive bras may not provide you with the support you need. In addition, many people complain adhesive bras either don't stay in place or that they're painful to remove from the skin.

Get fitted when trying on strapless bras to make sure your bra is the correct size. Many experts think strapless bras either need to be a cup size smaller or a back size smaller. This can prevent the bra from slipping down and ending up around yourMORE:Animals Adult Costumes Manufacturer

Apply the second bra cup to your other breast

Look in the mirror as you hold the bra cup by the nonadhesive edges (avoid touching the adhesive surface of the cup). Begin to position the adhesive bra cup onto your breast, trying to apply the cup more on the upper portion of your breast than on the lower portion of your breast--the adhesive cups may not cover your breasts entirely. Place the cup over your breast along the bottom edge of the cup first and then smooth it over the top of your breast. As you press the cup to your breast, you will be turning the cup back from its inside-out position and conforming it to the shape of your breast.

Press gently over the outer surface of the Wholesale Angel Costume cup with your fingers after applying the cup to remove any wrinkles from the attached bra cup.

Apply the second bra cup to your other breast using the same technique.

Connect the two bra cups together between your breasts with the plastic clip.

Remove the adhesive bra by unhooking the plastic clip and peeling the cups from your breasts from the top edges to the bottom edges.

Wash the adhesive bra cups after wearing them. Place the bra cups under warm, running water and add a small amount of hand soap to the bra cup. Rub the adhesive surface lightly with your fingers and then rinse the bra cups thoroughly with warm water. Allow the adhesive bra cups to air dry completely before wearing them again.

Sew bra cups onto the inside front of your backless dress. Choose a supportive bra that you don't mind altering. Cut off the straps until only the bra cups are left, then sew the cups onto the inner lining of the dress. When you put on the dress, the support that you normally get from a bra will already be there as a natural part of your dress.

Wear a backless bra. This is a new type of bra also created specifically to be worn with backless dresses. This bra can be worn with a dress with a very low-cut back because the straps only go slightly around the shoulders, leaving the back completely exposed.

Wear bra cups that adhere naturally to your breasts. These are backless bra cups that are made of a material that molds and sticks to the skin, providing support and lift without falling off.MORE:Cowgirl Costumes Manufacturer

It's known as the "quadruple breast" syndrome

It's known as the "quadruple breast" syndrome, and we hear it's highly contagious. Never heard of it? It occurs when a woman chooses to wear a bra that is at least one size too small, resulting in cups that, well, runneth over. Ill-fitting clothes are a fashion no-no, whether it's pants that are too long, skirts that are too tight or jackets that are too short. Resist the temptation to forgo buying one size larger simply because it's not the size you "usually" wear. Sizes vary from designer to designer, so stick to what lays nicely on your body. Repeat it like a mantra: Smooth lines, smooth lines, smooth lines Sexy Robbers Costumes supplier. . .

Don't Overdo Trends

Let's say leopard print is "in." In an effort to look oh-so-chic, you go out and buy a hat, blouse, skirt, bag and shoes--all in leopard print. Bad move. Experimenting with fads is fun, but head-to-toe isn't the way to go. Similarly, don't saturate your wardrobe with any single style or silhouette. Cargo pants are cool, but not if they're the only kind of pants you own. Moderation is key.

Keep Ultra-Bright Colors Away From the Face

No matter what your skin tone, you won't look good (trust us) in a neon green sweater. This doesn't mean that you have to skip the loud hues all together. Simply incorporate bright items into your look as low on the body as possible. Remember: Florescent yellow shoes, not a florescent yellow top. A hot pink clutch, not a hot pink scarf. Let your face star in its own show.

Avoid the horizontal. Horizontal stripes make you look wider. Wearing clothing with horizontal stripes can actually make you look bigger than you are. Wear clothing with vertical stripes or no stripes at all.

Change your proportions. Or at least look like you did. Wear low-rise pants to make your trunk appear longer and less bulky.

Keep your hair out of your face. If you have long hair you should wear it up to make you look skinnier. If you don't like to wear your hair up, try curls.

Wear accessories near the features you want to accentuate to draw attention from problem areas.MORE;Sexy Police Costumes supplier

Lay your sports bra flat on your ironing board

Place your first finger on the outside of the strap, close to the hook closure.

Use your thumb and first finger together to feel for the hook.

Move your thumb to the outside of the strap directly behind the hook.

Move your first finger to the inside of the strap. Your other three fingers rest on the outside of the strap.

Use your fingers at the same time; your thumb will push the hook closure out of place while your first finger and last three fingers hold the strap in place.

Measure your band size by using your measuring tape to measure around your entire chest, just above your bust and underneath your arms. If the measurement is an even number, use that as your band size; for odd numbers, add one and that will be your band size.

To measure your cup size cheap lingerie, BareNecessities.com suggests using your measuring tape to loosely measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band size measurement from this measurement. Each inch that is left over represents a cup size. So if your band size was a 35 and your bust measurement was a 37 then you are a 35B.

Try on a variety of bras in this size to confirm that this is the right measurement. Strapless bras tend to need to fit tighter than other bra types. You do not have to get a smaller size though. Use your strap adjustments to get the right fit for a strapless bra.

Set your iron to a cotton setting without steam. The cotton setting is usually one of the highest settings before steam settings. Using a dry iron will protect the iron-on design as you press it to the sports bra.

Lay your sports bra flat on your ironing board. Iron the bra on the front and back sides to smooth out any wrinkles. Then, place the side that you want to decorate face up on the ironing board. You may even want to slip the sports bra through the arm of the ironing board to ensure smoothness on the side you decorate. Set your iron aside momentarily.

If you know the bride and her friends are up for a bawdy good time

Draw your larger sections with straight lines first. Use your ruler, right angle, and French curve template to set your measurements to paper. Add seam allowance to each line after you sketch each section.

Draft the cups next lingeries. Since the cups are the most rounded pieces, a template with various circle sizes can help give you the shape. Also use your French curve and right angle together to get the proper curve angle for each cup of the bra.

Sketch and re-sketch. There is a lot of room for error with so many curves and angles, so it is wise to draw, measure, re-draw, and measure again until you are confident your pattern is precise.

Test your pattern. Always create a mock-up of your pattern and see how it fits before using it with your final fabric. Designers have fittings for a reason and it all starts with the mock-up and adjustments are made from there. The same holds true here.

If you know the bride and her friends are up for a bawdy good time, write the shower information on new pairs of thong underpants--buy them from a discount shop or dollar store. Stuff your "invitations" into red envelopes. Mention that this event will be a girls' night out. Encourage guests to bring a lingerie gift and a new, unusual adult toy--all of which will be given to the bride after a rousing game of "Name That Toy."

Size Guide
Whether the shower will be sweet or spicy, include a size guide with the invitations so guests won't have to guess at the bride's size--and the bride won't have to return or exchanges the gifts. Include a simple business-size card with "Bust__/Hips__/Waist__" printed on it, or a fancy sketch of a woman in a bikini with labeled arrows pointing to the pertinent areas.

Draw your larger sections with straight lines first

Select a pattern designed for stretch fabrics. Look for simple seam construction if you are new to working with stretch-satin fabric.

Lay out your pattern, using the with nap layout suggested by your pattern. Use pattern weights instead of pins when cutting to avoid snagging or damaging your stretch satin.

Lay the V-neck, spaghetti strap tank top on a clean, flat surface cheap lingerie. Lay a ruler just below the bottom of the "V" and draw a line across the shirt. Cut across the shirt at this line. You can discard the bottom section of the shirt or save it for another project. Cut off the straps from the remainder of the shirt.

Pinch together the fabric at the bottom point of the "V" and sew a few stitches through the pinched area to keep the shape.

Draw your larger sections with straight lines first. Use your ruler, right angle, and French curve template to set your measurements to paper. Add seam allowance to each line after you sketch each section.

Choose an invitation with a lacy background and an elegant script if the bride is young or a little bit shy. If you're making the invitations, cut out corset shapes from pink cardstock. Glue lace and ribbon to each corset shape. Add a cute poem, such as "Sue is going to be a Mrs., let's get her dressed for those wedding-night kisses!" Include the date, location and time of the shower underneath the poem.

Co-ed Invitations
If you're holding a co-ed shower, cover the front of the invitation with paper cutouts of boxer shorts, panties and bras. Include a note asking guests to bring matching sets of pajamas, robes, thongs and slippers for the bride and groom. Add a size guide for the groom, as well as the bride.

Front-closure bras also offer a variety

Many women today are interested in sewing their own custom-fit bras. A bra cup mold is a plaster cast of the chest, which is used to make a pattern for sewing a bra. A bra made using this method is one of a kind, designed to fit an individual woman's unique measurements, unlike most commercially purchased bras. A bra cup mold can be made at home with a few supplies and a bit of time.

Front-closure bras are a convenient alternative to traditional back-clasp bras that can be difficult to reach. Front-closure cheap lingerie also offer a variety of back-strap styles that can be worn under sleeveless tops or racer back dresses. Bras that close in the front rarely come with an adjustable band, so it is important to choose one with the right fit so it can be worn comfortably all day long. Opt to wear a front-closure bra that is easy to put on and take off.

Lay the fabric over the cups. Smooth it out and then fold the edges over the cup and pin it. Use small stitches to sew on the fabric. You can sew through both sides of the fabric here, as this will be covered by the ribbon. The fabric will still be a little loose on the cup, so make a dart by folding the extra fabric and whip stitching it.

Cut ribbon to cover the top of the cups. Sew it onto each side of the bra. Depending on the size of the cup, you may need to make a straight dart here, as well. Take a large bead or button and sew it in the middle of the bra. Add your coins or beads wherever you like. You can cover the whole bra or just trim the edges.

Try on the bra and test a few dance moves with it on to make sure it's still comfortable and fits well and that there's nothing to fall off or injure you while dancing. Add more embellishments as desired.

Thread the needle and insert it into the cup, through the garment's lining, and back up again to create one stich, tying a small knot at the top and cutting off any excess. Tie small knots every 1 inch around the edge of the cup, connecting only with the lining of the clothing.

Sew the cup by hand, if making it permanent in the garment, by creating continuous stitches around the edges, attaching the cup and the lining, without the exterior of the garment being sewn. Skip sewing if the cups are temporary; to remove the cups, simply snip the ties.

Wear a strapless bra that covers your full torso

Stand in front of a full length mirror and measure your rib cage by using a measuring tape around your ribs and pulling on it until you have a snug fit. Sew a hook and latch connector or Velcro connections on each end of the band ribbon that is cut to your measurements.

Fold each of the two fabric pieces you chose until they each form a triangle that covers your breasts. Slip the longest ribbon into the folds of each of the triangles, centering the triangles on the ribbon.

Sew the edges of your two triangles together at the point where they touch, then sew the band ribbon into place. This is the front of your bra.

Secure a ribbon to the top of each one of the triangles by sewing it firmly into place. Try the bra on by securing the long ribbon behind your back.

Slip the ribbons from the top of the triangles over your shoulders and mark the spot where they join the longest ribbon. Use a pencil to mark both the shoulder ribbon and the longest ribbon for each side.

Take off the cheap lingerie  Use a needle and thread to secure the shoulder strap to the longest ribbon on each side.

Wear a strapless bra that covers your full torso, not just your bust. Retailers may refer to these undergarments as merrywidows, bustiers or long-line bras. Boning in the bra contours at your waist, the same way boning in a standard bra contours over your ribcage. The contours of your waist hold a torso-length bra in place so that it cannot slip.

Apply double-sided adhesive strips as a reinforcement between your skin and the bra. The adhesive is stronger than traditional tape and should not irritate your skin. The strips are 1 to 3 inches long and may be shaped according to the part of your bust to which you apply it.

Wear blouses and dresses that provide additional support. The clothing you wear on top of a strapless bra can affect the bra's performance. Avoid tops that pull your bust from the bra's position. Fitted or contoured garments reinforce the bra, making it difficult for the undergarment to slip from its initial position.
