Measure your breast size to find a bra

Expect your breasts to go through size changes. You should not anticipate to wear a maternity bra in your pre-pregnancy bra size. Most women are at least a full cup size larger.

Measure your breast size to find a cheap sexy lingerie that will fit right. Use a measuring tape to determine your band size by measuring under your arms. Your cup size will be determined by measuring from your back to the fullest part of your breasts.

Look at the back of your bra. Examine the long horizontal strap for the side with multiple -- usually three to four-- small brackets.

Place the bra shoulder straps over your shoulders. Place your thumb on the left-most bracket and connect the hook on the left side of the back strap to that bracket on the right side of the back strap. Test the fit by turning your torso from right to left. Decrease the band size on your bra by unclasping the hook and attaching it to the next bracket over, just to the right of the first bracket. Test the fit again. Continue to move the clasp to the right, one hook at a time until you have a comfortable fit that's snug but not too tight.

Take off the bra and get out a fabric tape measure. Wrap it around your back and shoulder blades, just beneath your armpits and beneath your breasts in the front. Write down your chest measurement in inches on a piece of paper. Look at the tag on your bra to see if the number matches your measurement. Buy a new, smaller bra if your measurement is two or more inches lower than the number on your current bra.

Make a quilt. Take samplings of a variety of fabrics found on bras and lingerie. Collect them over time to create a special, possibly frilly and lacy, personalized quilt.

Patch things up. The fabric found on bras can be used to patch up clothing, such as jeans that have a hole in the knee.

Frame it. Dress up your bathroom decor by framing a pair of your favorite lingerie. Fashion is art--so place yours on display for a offbeat trendy piece of art you might find in a boutique.

Use the old bra's fabric to fashion a new iPod pocket to sew into a sports bra.

Sew the bra into a camisole for added support.

Make a scented bra pouch. Easy to do, sew two bra cups together most of the way, placing sachets, potpourri or even scented clothes dryer sheets into the center, making a scented pouch you can through in a drawer or gym bag to keep things smelling fresh.
