Why Garter Belts And Stockings Are Making A Big Comeback

Wearing sexy lingerie under your clothes can give you a secret boost of self-confidence. One of the easiest and most comfortable ways to experience this is to wear a garter belt. The erotic image of a woman with a bit of thigh peeking out between sheer stockings and a garter belt is a sure way to drive a man mad. Even when you are the only one who knows about it, wearing a garter belt will make you feel truly sexy all day.

The garter belt is worn around the waist and it's purpose is to hold up your stockings. There are four elastic garter clasps hanging from the belt, two in front of your legs and two behind. Before the invention of pantyhose, women had to wear garter belts to hold up the original silk stockings. Although pantyhose was hailed as an easier option at the time, many women find pantyhose to be uncomfortable as well as less durable than good quality stockings.

Our generation has grown up being taught that pantyhose are better than garter belts and stockings. Popular thought is that the garter belt is difficult to use and that it's hard to attach to the stockings. Perpetuated by the pantyhose manufacturing industry through years of advertising and commercials, women have been raised to believe these myths.

One key element to buying a garter belt is to get the correct size. You'll need to be sure that it fits snugly around your waist without being so tight as to create bulges. The clasps need to be adjustable so as to get the right length for your exact body type. Look for a garter belt in lingerie specialty stores that offer good quality lingerie. Things to keep in mind when choosing a garter belt is that the material is soft and comfortable for all day wear and that the clasps are durable.

Another key element to having a garter belt work for you is to purchase the right stockings. They need to be of good quality and designed to be worn with a garter belt. They will have a thicker band at the top of the stocking where you can attach the clamps without damaging the stocking. Stockings come in a variety of materials and differing levels of sheerness.

The best stockings you will find should be made of silk. Silk stockings are initially more expensive than other materials but it will pay off in the long run. Silk stockings are more durable and last much longer than others as well as being comfortable and sexy.

The biggest deterrent to most women about wearing a garter belt and stockings is that they are under the impression that it will be hard to attach the stockings. This is not the case at all if you buy the right stockings. While you will have to practice a bit at first, it is very simple and fast once you are used to it.

Once you try it, you are going to find it's quite easy and comfortable to wear a garter belt and stockings. You may find yourself liking the secret sexy feeling so much that you wear them every day. Many women do say they enjoy feeling more lady-like and alluring because of their sexy secret.

The Custom Clothing Craze

As the world becomes more and more complex, the sane seek more sanity in simplification. It seems pure shopping pleasure just isnt there anymore. Is it just because we have no time? Are the choices just too overwhelming? Or do we just detest fitting rooms? While many of us can answer yes to at least one of these, the question remains, what do we do about it? We have to wear clothes in most societies and most people have a desire to be attractive in public, polished and well groomed in the office, and comfortable enough not to be thinking about their appearance all day. Lets face it, spending Saturday at the mall begins to lose its appeal sometime after our 25th birthday.

Little has the power to make a person feel more uncomfortable than an ill fitting ensemble. No matter how fabulous it looks on the hanger, if it drapes poorly on your body, it is a mistake. But dont despair! Just because a particular cut fails to flatter your body, it certainly doesnt mean you have to abandon the idea all together. A custom clothing professional can re-create something more suitable to your frame in keeping with the style you desire.

Here are a few points to take under consideration as you revamp your wardrobe for the coming season:

1.When you buy career wear, evening wear, or even a good jean off the rack, the chances of a perfect fit are rare. If it flatters your body, you feel good in it and it requires simple alterations, it is money well spent to spring for the little added expense of having a trained professional alter the garment to fit your body.

2.Time is money! How many times have you spent an entire day shopping only to come home empty handed or with disappointments? A better use of your time and hard-earned income is to find a professional in your area to make a custom creation for you. It may seem an impressive expense. Certainly, custom clothing is an investment, but done in the finest fabric you can afford and created especially to fit your body, it is a contribution worth making.

3.If a custom clothier is out of your reach, consider employing your local seamstress. Every style imaginable is at your fingertips in the form of a ready-to-sew pattern available at any fabric store. Before choosing your material and haberdashery, enlist the aid of a professional to find the highest quality textiles to suit your budget and flatter the style of the pattern you have chosen. Be sure to have your measurements honestly recorded by a friend or your dressmaker to be sure to obtain a perfect fit.

4.Whether engaging a custom clothier or a seamstress to create a garment for you; dont hesitate to ask for reference or to see some examples of their work. A qualified professional should welcome the request.

5.When investing in custom clothing, be sure to insist on generous seam allowances. None of us like to imagine the possibility of finding the need to accommodate a few extra pounds, but the expense of a slight alteration will be considerably more welcome than the price of remaking the garment.

If you still arent convinced custom clothing are for you due to the rapidly changing world of fashion trends, consider basing your wardrobe on well fitting essentials. The simple little black dress, made to perfectly flatter your frame, will rescue you from many last minute emergencies for years to come. A basic, impeccably tailored pencil skirt or pant in your choice of neutral color will serve as a companion to the trendy new tops you find off the rack. A good, classic overcoat will be your best friend for years to come. You dont have to be wealthy to invest in good custom pieces. Think of them as a business investment since, lets face it, image counts for a lot. With well fitting garments, you can look great regardless of your shape or size.

The wrong accessories will spoil your perfectly groomed image. Be sure to choose good quality shoes and handbags which reflect your personal good taste and style. A tattered handbag will spoil any outfit, no matter how beautiful your ensemble, it is the first thing people will notice. After seeing an inappropriate bag, their eyes will drop instinctively to your shoes and your custom clothing expense will be an unnoticed effort.

Consider investing in one good custom piece to add to your wardrobe this season. Try it, and I estimate by next season you will be adding as many pieces as you can afford. You will surely wonder how you ever managed without your custom wardrobe!
