17 Bra Tips All Women Should Know.
The bra is a centerpiece in a woman's wardrobe.
Some cannot live without ...
... and others would live well without ever putting on a bra!
Because it is true that wearing a bra is not easy.
First you have to find the right size and then make sure that it does not see itself under a tank top or a dress!
Luckily, here are 17 tips to make life easier for anyone who wears bras every day. Look :
1. Use a paper clip to hide the straps of your bra
Nothing worse than a pretty high cut top with overhanging bra straps. It ruins everything! If you have a racerback t-shirt, here is my tip for concealing your bra straps. Just take a paper clip and fix the two straps together at the shoulder blades. Easy and fast, isn't it?
2. You can also buy clips prettier than the home version.
There is also a nice clip, in which you can pass the straps of your bra. It will have the same effect as the paperclip, but it's cuter. In addition, there are different colors and different shapes.
3. Sew a small tie into the suspender to hold it in place.
It happens that the bra straps come out despite the wide straps of your garment. To hide them, just sew a small clip with a pressure in which you will clip the strap of your bra. Check out the trick here.
4. Buy a protective box so as not to damage your bras in the suitcase.
To transport your lingerie without damaging it in the suitcase, you can get these somewhat rigid transport boxes. No more snags and stains on the lace!
5. Sew the front of an old bra into a halter dress
If like me, you don't like going out without a bra, and your dress doesn't contain one, I have a great tip! Recycle an old bra, cut the straps and the clip so that only the cups remain. Then, sew them into the bustier of your dress. Thus, you will be able to put on your halter dress while maintaining the comfort of the breast. Watch the tutorial here.
6. Hide a large cleavage with a clip-on cleavage cover
On some occasions, having a plunging neckline can be embarrassing. To hide this, there is a small accessory that hangs on each side of the bra with the straps.
7. Prevent a strapless bra from going down thanks to an elastic strap
Does your strapless bra tend to go down? Secure it with an elastic suspender. Clip one end of the strap to the side of the bra, then go around your bust, and secure the other part on the same side. It feels like a belt, and it won't slip.
8. Keep your sports bra in the shower for easy washing.
When you are done working out, go to the shower with your bra on. You will kill two birds with one stone: you wash yourself and the lingerie with it. This is all the more interesting as these textiles do not withstand the cycles and spins of modern machines and are rather hand washed. No more wasting time and no more damaging your fragile sports bra!
9. Wring out your bras in a salad spinner to avoid damaging them.
Most lace lingerie items do not go through the washing machine. We recommend washing them by hand instead. But I found a trick to wring them out without twisting them all over the place: I put them in my salad spinner. By turning a few turns, the water is drained without damaging the lingerie. Check out the trick here.
10. Store bras on only 1 hanger to save space and avoid deforming them.
To store bras easily, place them astride a hanger. It allows you to see them quickly in the morning when you have to choose one. You save space in your drawers and you also avoid deforming them.
11. Attach hangers to each other to store your bras and choose them in the blink of an eye
For those who have room, here is another way to store bras. Hang your hangers one below the other, and put a bra on each hanger. Again, you can choose them at first glance in the morning by opening your closet.
12. Modify a classic bra so that it becomes invisible
With dresses that are very open at the back, you don't want to see the bra ties sticking out. To remedy this, you will need 1 bra extension clip, 1 elastic band of the same color as your bra and thread and a needle.
Put on your bra with the ties in front to see what you are doing. Hook the new closures to the old ones. Cut the elastic band to the correct size. Then, remove everything, it remains only to sew the band to connect it to the new closures. And There you go !
13. Alternatively you can also buy a back extender
If you are not an expert at sewing, buy a ready-made extender so that you can attach the bra lower.
14. Easily repair the frame of a broken bra
When an underwire comes out of the bra, you can quickly get injured. To avoid this, there is an easy do-it-yourself trick. Take a panty liner and cut it into equal strips. Tuck the whale as far out of the bra as possible.
Then take one part of the panty liner and stick it like a patch where the whale usually comes out.
And there you have it, you won't be hurt anymore because of this piece of iron sticking out.
15. Learn how to fix a whale that pops out
When a whale comes out of the fabric, it's often the end of the bra. But have you noticed that it's always the one you adore that's damaged? Luckily, here's a tip so you don't have to throw out your favorite lingerie.
Tuck the whale into the fabric and put a dot of glue where the fabric is torn. Let it dry, then sew this spot to prevent it from tearing further. Secure the end of the wire with a dot of glue and let dry again. If the glue itches you, you can file away the part that gets in your way.
16. Use your hand to find out if a bra is right for you.
Once the bra is closed, if you can put your fist between your back and the thong, the bra is too big. If you can not fit 2 fingers, then it is too tight. Check out the trick here.
17. Put on silicone pads to prevent the straps from hurting your shoulders
After a while, straps that are too thin can hurt the shoulders. To remedy this, use these silicone pads to place between the skin and the shoulder straps. No more redness on the shoulders!
