|
Once upon a time, there was a socialite who had the almost
perfect dress for the party. Almost, because it was not opaque
enough and her modesty might be compromised. In those days,
people were conservative and bras were not invented yet. The
smart woman used to small scarves and a ribbon to make the first
bra, to cover up and protect her modesty. These home made bras

bras. Your home made bra wouldn't give you the cleavage you
get from Wonderbras
but they are fun to make.
Here's how you can make such a bra.
You need 2 clean handkerchiefs or small scarves of the same
color and size. These bras can also be used as bikini tops so

antique business.

auction and liquidation business, I decided to purchase a load
of antique furniture and smalls and have the container shipped
to my facility in New York State.
I’ll spare you the details of how exactly this is done during
this article.

antique buyers makethe mistake of mis-understanding the process
by which antique items are found. Many collectors and dealers
waste valuable time searching in places where they believe that
