If you're feeling a little daring this season but find ditching your bra slightly daunting, Lydia Jones, who is CEO of online retailer wantherwardrobe.com, has some great tips for feeling confident and sexy in your new dress. - Invest in a pair of nipple covers from your local department store, these are great for creating a smooth look whilst also hiding any embarrassing moments during the colder weather! - Body tape is great for keeping your plunging neckline or open sides in the right places so you feel comfortable and confident all night long - just make sure you invest in a higher market brand so the tape sticks on place . - Avoid light polyester fabrics in colours such as white and cream, these tend to go see-through and are difficult to reduce exposure . - Choose fabrics that have a heavier weight to them such as a crepe or cotton, these will avoid the risk of exposing any nipple covers or body tape and will stay in place much easier . - If you're feeling a little exposed, try a longer hairstyle as this will cover you up slightly .
