I've used hot-fix on bodystockings. They stay on the strechy fabric, no mess and are washable. I didn't notice any heavy glue stink either. I've had the first decorated stocking for about 2 years and have handwashed it many times with no trouble. I've used them on power net, regular net and stretch lace so far. I've also used them on a chiffon scarf. I think the stones may be a little small for decorating a bra and belt though. I am not sure what size the biggest hotfix stones are, but the ones I have are 5mm. I would recommend them as a possibility to decorate veils, bodystockings, skirts, etc to coordinate with Swarovski crystals used elsewhere in the costume or to add just a touch of bling.
