Lingerie is always a fabulous gift to treat a loved one or even a nice treat for yourself.
A bra is a delicate garment– and its proper care and maintenance should never be taken for granted. Intimate wear also requires intimate care, so here are a few tips on how to care for bras so they will last you longer.

Reading the label is crucial. Washing a bra requires a specific temperature upon washing, specific instructions as to ironing whenever possible, or certain restrictions when it comes to machine washing the garment. Always separate your bra according to colour so that its colour would stay bright and intact.

One definite no-no would be to dry bras in a dryer. Shrinkage is something you wouldn’t want to happen, so it’s best to dry them under the sun.

Making sure to extend the lifespan of your intimate wear means the need for you to go out and buy more will be lessened. Imagine all the savings you’d get, just by taking good care of your bras!

Buying a stylish, wearable knitted jacket is a wonderful way to treat oneself .  They can be short or long, close fitting or roomy, in all sorts of beautiful colours and textures.  To be loosely draped or snugly wrapped is a pleasant decision to make. Knitted jackets also make a great gift around Christmas time to keep your loved ones warm.

Jackets are special, because like coats, they are often the outermost layer of an outfit.   It is from this first impression that our appearance and personality are sometimes judged.  An unusual knitted jacket can set us apart from the crowd as an individualistic, or in contrast, an everyday knitted jacket looks neat in a simple shape with simple stitches.  In this case there is nothing complicated to look at but as the renowned painter of Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci, is alleged to have stated: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.

There are many different names given to the variety of knitted jacket styles.  For instance, there are ‘box-tops’ which are an easy fit for all sizes; ‘cropped’ jackets which are a convenient ‘put on’ when the weather turns a little chilly.  However, although extremely charming and useful, ‘crop tops’ do only cover the upper body. 

 We must remember that by their very nature, jackets have to fit over all other garments and must therefore have a certain amount of give and ease in them.
