Lingerie hacks, tips for women
Did you know you can use a paperclip to turn a brassiere into a racerback, or keep a strapless from falling down by securing it with a convertible strap? Here are some useful tips: Colour: Always wear a nude or beige colour brassiere under white outfits for no show. Most girls make the mistake of wearing white under white. One brassiere style is not enough for every kind of outfit. With an off-shoulder dress, instead of wearing a brassiere with transparent straps, which in most case are hardly transparent, one should go for a tube or a strapless brassiere. Accessories: Interesting brassiere accessories like low back converters are a saviour if one wants to wear a low back dress. DIY: Use a paperclip to turn a brassiere into a racerback, or to hide straps that keep poking out from sleeveless tops. Know your size: For broad body types, a brassiere extender can be used to extend current band girth. Straps: Keep a strapless from falling down by securing it with a convertible strap. If the straps are digging in, it means the under-bust band is loose and is not providing adequate support. Go down a band size. To preserve the elasticity rotate between four brassieres and switch every week. To know if the brassiere fits well, lift your arms over your head, the band of your bra should lay flat against your rib cage with the cups containing your entire breast. Try sister sizing of bra if you do not get the perfect fit. For example, a 36B will have a similar cup size of 34C.
