Bind off the remaining six stitches on your needle

Continue knitting by repeating the following pattern five times: for the first row, bind off six stitches and purl to the end. For the second row, knit one, make one, knit to the last stitch and turn your work.

Bind off the remaining six stitches on your needle.

Repeat steps 5 through 9 to make the right cup but instead of making one stitch at the beginning of the row, make one stitch at the end. This is called reverse shaping.

Make the straps by casting on four stitches and working in stockinette until you have reached the desired length. Bind off all stitches and weave in any ends cheap lingerie.

Block each piece of the bra by pinning to a flat surface and spraying liberally with water. Allow to dry naturally.

With yarn and tapestry needle, sew the left and right cup to the bra band and then sew each strap in place.

Thread satin ribbon through each end of the bra band and tie in a bow to secure in place.

How do you remove a bikini top? Untie around the neck and mid-back. Some bikini tops may fool you by tying around the neck, but still having a clasp around the back.

If there are clasps in front, use both hands to push the clasp inward. If the clasp does not come undone, push inward, then pull one side upward so the clasp can slide out.

If the clasps are in the back, use both hands to push each side inward to unhook. Some bikini tops also hook in the back, but the hook must be pulled up out of a loop instead of being pushed inward.

Pull bra off of the arms and away from the body. Back clasping bras will be pulled toward you, while front clasping bras you will pull off of the back.

Celebrate. Act like a pro, as if you knew what you were doing the whole time.

Rinse the car bra with a wet sponge

1 Get sized. Skipping this step will ensure more frustration and agony than you need experience. For a proper fitting, consult the employees at your favorite lingerie store. If you are uncomfortable with this, use a tape measure to size yourself at home. For instructions on cheap lingerie how to size yourself, see Resources below.

2 Select a strapless bra that is one band size smaller and one cup size larger than what you would normally wear. According to Andy Paige, author of “Style on a Shoestring,” this will partially compensate for the lack of bra straps. Because manufacturers do not size bras the same way, take several different sizes with you to the fitting room.

3 Dip your scrub brush into the warm, soapy water. Firmly brush the car bra using circular motions. Start at one side of the car bra, and slowly make your way to the other side.

4 Rinse the car bra with a wet sponge. Use warm water to completely rinse off any soap scum bubbles.

5 Pick the racer-back style if additional compression on the breasts is necessary. A traditional back may cut into your shoulders if the strap is too narrow. Use a mirror that reflects three sides of the bra at once. Bend and stretch to test the comfort and coverage of a sports bra. Run in place for 30 seconds to determine the support and breast motion for high-impact sports.

6 Check the fabric tags on the sport bras that fit the best for the sports level that is needed. Look for a polyester/cotton blend for softness and moisture-wicking capabilities. A Supplex® Nylon/Lycra® Spandex feels great on the skin and fits a full figure well with outstanding shape and support retention. Look for CoolMax® for a high-performance fabric when a plus-sized, high-impact sports bra is needed.

Choose the right bra based on personal measurements

Use a fabric pen to trace the bottom of the wire onto the bra cups. Make sure you have approximately 3/8 of an inch of fabric remaining at the bottom of the bra, which you need for sewing over the wire.

Lay the channeling on top of the inside stitching of the bra cup. Line up the two evenly. Allow 1/2 inch of the channeling to hang off at each end.

Sew the channeling to the bra's seam on both sides of the channeling. The wire will have to fit inside of the channeling so make sure you do not sew the channeling shut.

Cut the end pieces of the channeling off and sew the ends. Be careful when sewing over wire so that the needle of the sewing machine does not come down onto the wire and crack.

Determine the activity-level needs of the lingeries for adequate support. A high-impact sport such as running, soccer or aerobics requires strong elastic fibers to keep the breasts stationary. Fast walking and skiing are medium-impact sports that require less lift and support. A low-impact sport such as yoga, strolling or weight training requires the least amount of compression and shaping of the breasts.

Choose the right bra based on personal measurements, from three separate bra constructions. A compression bra restricts breast motion and has the highest amount of support. Women with a curvy figure and an A- or B-sized cup will find this sports bra the most comfortable. An encapsulated or natural-shape athletic bra has sewn-in structure to lift heavier breasts. Women with a C-, D- or DD-sized cup will find this bra the most supportive. Try an underwire sports bra in either an encapsulated or natural shape for an extra dimension of support for full-heavy breasts ranging from DD and above.
