Today we will be looking at the most commonly asked questions about women fashion.

  

How to deal with bra straps?

If a strap falls off, on a relatively well-fitting bra, you will generally fix it by adjusting the strap. You can shorten the strap by attaching the hook at one end of the strap to your bra. Rather than having an exit point, the strap will enter and exit at the same location. You can also cross the strap under your arm, then pull it back across itself, and then put the strap in the cup. Lastly, you can sew a new hook loop or get the bra repaired.

 

What are boob pads?

Boob pads are a type of padding women use to fill out the desired breast size. They are usually made from two layers of either silicone, cotton or fiberfill that is stuffed inside a pocket of a bra. Some are filled with rice, lentils, beans, or corn.

 

What bra type should I wear?

There are many different variables to consider when deciding what type of bra to wear. If you are looking for an uplift, but one with little to no padding or color, then a demi quad or plunging bra may be a good choice. If you need a bra with a bit more coverage while still providing support, then you may want to wear a full-cup bra.

 

What are some tips for layering?

This can be difficult to answer because the type of layering you want to do will depend on you, the recipient, and the situation you are heading into. Generally speaking, the rule is to keep the outer layer light for warmth and keep the inside layer heavier for warmth.

 

How should I remove makeup from my clothes?

For a home remedy, it is wise to lightly dampen the garment in question, mix in a little water or soap, scrub the stain with your fingers, then rinse well. If that does not work sufficiently, you could try treating the clothes with pre-stain remover.

 

How can I make my jeans look less frayed and worn out?

If the hemline of your jeans is frayed and tattered, you can fold the hem up and sew it in place, like a blind hem stitch.

 

What are some combination dresses to consider?

You may want to consider a front-buttoning jumper over a shirt with jeans, an off-the-shoulder dress over trousers, or a tunic dress over jeans.

 

How do I know the right length of pants?

The best thing to do is the J.Lo method — with your arms down, stand in front of a full-length mirror, scrunch up your legs, tucking your fit into your shoes a little bit, and tug at the rise of the pants. This will simulate how the waists will fit once pulled up over your hips and butt.
