    Attaching tummy covers?

    How do you attach your tummy cover to your bra? Safety pins?

    Re: Attaching tummy covers?

    Regular hooks and eyes at "strategic points" work well. If your mesh is very sturdy you can sew the hooks inside the bra and just hook them through the mesh itself, but I prefer to use both hooks and eyes to reduce the potential for tearing.

    As an alternative, a friend of mine uses snap fasteners and is happy with the way they work.

    I use snap fasteners,so I can change from costume to costume.

    Saw that Kharis bodystockings has velcro fastening:

    Never tried it myself-but it sounds nifty and her bodystockings are beautiful!:)

    Re: Attaching tummy covers?

    I attach the hooks from hook & eye sets to the bras, and then I just loop the top edge of the tummy cover over the hook. The power mesh is pretty strong, so it holds up fine to just having the hook looped through a hole.

    I put the hooks about 1/2 inch above the lower edge of the bra, so that I won't have gaps below the bra's bottom line between the hooks.
