Top bra hacks from fashionistas

1. to make the dress look perfect without a bra, you can sew an old bra to it from the inside;
2. if the clothing requires an open shoulder, you need to leave only one strap;
3. to prevent the straps from slipping, you can use small pieces of braid to match the dress and special clips for clothes;
4. Silicone cups or breast lifting stickers are suitable for outfits with an extremely deep neckline;
5. halter dresses look great if you change the regular bra straps to silicone ones. Another option is to remove one of the bra straps, and throw the other one over your neck and hook it to the ear of the removed one.

We fasten the straps on the back and shoulders

If you have a beautiful figure, dresses with an open back look great. For such dresses there is a special converter bra, it comes with ribbons made of elastic material with hooks. If such a bra is not available, it is easy to make it yourself.

To do this, you need a piece of elastic tape, the length of the waist, and hooks from an old bra. By sewing them together, we get a converter from our own bra without interfering with its integrity. The hooks of the tape easily hook onto the bra clasps, the tape is thrown over the stomach and fastened on the other side.

We attach the bones

If they bulge and rub the skin, you can use a piece of a panty liner - cut a piece from it and glue it to the defect on the bra. If the bone protrudes from the edge, a regular medical plaster will help.

Using special clamps

Bra strap ties prevent them from falling off, make them invisible and visually enlarge your breasts. They are comfortable under a racer jacket, top or dress, and come in different colors, most often nude, black or transparent.

 

Protect from chafing

If the straps cause discomfort to the skin, you can use special silicone pads. Not only will they avoid chafing, but they will also help distribute the weight of your breasts evenly.

 

Hiding the straps

When clothing tapers towards the neckline, the bra straps on the sides do not look aesthetically pleasing, especially if the color does not match. In this case, removable straps can be hooked crosswise, while sewn straps are conveniently interconnected with a clip or paperclip. You can also sew strap holders to a tank top, dress or blouse. The same method is suitable when part of the bra is visible in a dress with a deep armhole - a small piece of elastic tape solves the problem.

If the outfit involves open shoulders, the straps must be wrapped around themselves and secured. In addition, a silicone bra without straps looks great with an open dress. It can be either translucent or covered with flesh-colored or black fabric.

To hide a bra under a T-shirt or under a dress with crossed straps, just cross the bra straps and secure them.

Storage secrets

In order for the bra to maintain its shape and last a long time, you should not store it wrinkled or folded; it is best to purchase a special case. If you don’t have such a bag, you can store them nested inside each other. To extend its service life, it is recommended to change your bra at least every other day.

How to wash a bust?

Washing is required after wearing it three times, since sweat and oil secreted by the skin contribute to the destruction of the fabric. The rules are usually indicated on the tag: some are suitable for washing in a washing machine, others - only hand washing.

• Linen to be washed by hand must be placed in water with detergent and rinsed there for several minutes. Then rinse off the detergent with running water.
• The delicate wash cycle and cold water will help maintain the elasticity of the bra when machine washed. The water temperature should be no more than 40 degrees, bras should be washed separately from clothes. It is advisable to use a special gel for delicate fabrics - this will help to carefully clean the item of dirt while maintaining its original shape. In the absence of gel, shampoo replaces it perfectly.
• Before washing, a bra with underwires must be placed in a special bag. Recently, special spheres have appeared on sale to preserve the shape of the product and metal inserts.
• The easiest way to clean a sports bra is to take a shower in it; this will save time without sacrificing quality.
