Rhinestones are essentially fake diamonds made from rock crystal, glass, or acrylic.  The name “Rhine” stones comes from the origin of the first stones, the river Rhine.  The rhinestones were rock crystals gathered from the river.  The rhinestones were used for costumes, apparel, and jewelry, and carried into the twentieth century with a lot of popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. 

Today rhinestones are commonly used to inlay items like cell phones, clothing, MP3 players, and shoes.  Rhinestone earrings and other accessories are also common.

Having fun at a costume party isn’t just for kids and teens; adult costume parties can be just as entertaining.  When organizing an adult costume party, here are a few things to think about and plan towards:

~Drinks, even a dull party is better when everyone is a little buzzed, keep in mind to stock up on various alcohols and beverages.  Having someone to mix drinks for your guests is also a great idea.

~Music, play the music your guests will like, adults often have more refined tastes, if nothing else classic rock tends to be a safe bet. 

~Costumes, the more effort you and your guests put into your costumes the more comfortable people will feel.  Having a fun costume tends to be an icebreaker for conversation and interaction.  Also keep in mind that some adult costumes (specifically female costumes) don’t have much to them, so keeping the house warm and windows closed isn’t a bad idea.

How to wear a bustier

• Get the right cup size. Even if the rest of the bustier doesn’t fit exactly as you would want it to, make sure the cup size is right. The rest of the bustier can be adjusted to fit you, but the cup size can’t. If you’re having trouble determining your cup size, you can be fitted by a professional bra fitter.
• Make sure it flatters. The whole point of a bustier is to lift up the busts and create an excess of cleavage. If the bustier flattens or compresses your chest, it isn’t the right fit. Try variations of mesh boning or plastic boning to get the right fit. Fuller-framed women should use plastic boning for more structure while smaller-framed women can use mesh boning.
• Go strapless. A strapless bustier is far more versatile than one with straps, because it can be worn under myriad versions of dresses and shirts, and creates a classic, sexy look when you’re just wearing it alone.
• Pay attention to the closures. Bustiers traditionally have their closures in the back, but it can be difficult to dress yourself. Try one on with front closures, and see if you like the look and feel.
