The editor of www.hakashi.com suggests part of the trend back towards business professional attire is because people are more serious post 9-11, and its reflected in the dress code.

Chances are you already know the conventional wisdom when it comes to dressing for interviews. Wear a suit with a silk tie right?

For men a suit in a dark neutral color, a white or blue dress shirt and a silk tie in a conservative pattern should do just fine for most interviews. Stick to natural fabrics like wool and cotton.

Depending on what kind of position you are seeking, the industry you're searching in and the personality statement you want to make, you'll have to decide how to best express yourself through your ties.

When in doubts its better to err on the formal rather than on the casual side of dress. In general you want to wear the best tie you can afford and be impeccably turned out, showcasing your natural attention to detail.

How to Iron a Tie.

Ties wrinkle primarily when they are knotted and need occasional ironing.

Steps:
1. Check tags on tie for information about fabric type.
2. Plug in Iron and set temperature dial accordingly. Many ties are made of silk or polyster blends and will need a cool setting . Wool ties need a medium setting and cottons can take a fairly high temperature.
3. Place tie lengthwise on ironing board with back of tie facing up.
4. Place a cotton cloth flat over area to be ironed and carefully iron your tie.
5. Iron bottom to top in small portions from the edges inward to avoid creasing.
6. Lift cover cloth periodically to check progress.
7. Turn tie face up and Iron, taking care not to leave the iron in any one spot for too long.
8. Hang tie immediately so that it cools with wrinkling.

Tips: The cover cloth keeps your tie from scorching, sticking, discoloring or getting shiny.
Avoid spot cleaning your tie just before ironing. Any damp spots will become permanent stains if you Iron them.

Painting a satin corset?

I have a plain satin corset that I'm looking to jazz up with a fabric painted design. I've painted on silk before but not satin, so I'd like to know:
1) Which fabric paint brand should I use? Bearing in mind that I'll be using a regular soft paintbrush, not an airbrush. Jacquard, Createx, Dylon... which is best?
2) Will I need to use gutta to prevent excessive paint bleeding?
3) Any other helpful advice you can give me

Hello Ember
I can tell you that I have used Createx brand paints for quite a while but with an airbrush not a paint brush. Createx paints work very well as long as you heat set it like it says in the instructions. The only problem I can see you having by using this paint with a brush is bleeding but it does come fairly thick so it shouldn't be too bad. Try a small piece of fabric to test it first to be safe.
