After washing my stockings, they are no longer as warm, why?


Did you remember to let them dry? Warm clothing is warm because it insulates well, and it usually insulates well because it traps air. "Fluffy" clothing tends to trap more air than "flat" clothing, and is thus usually warmer. I suspect that what happened is that when you washed your stockings, you let them air-dry, flat or on a line. When you do that, they end up being less fluffy. One solution is to tumble-dry them in a dryer. If you did tumble-dry them, and they're still not as warm as they were, it's possible that either your water is quite hard, or you left a significant amount of soap or detergent in them. In that case, you might want to try using a fabric softener, and be sure to thoroughly rinse out all traces of soap/detergent.

Would big bra cup size women wear plunge push up bras with padding?

First, “boobs” is slang and offensive to many women . If you want to design bras for women customers, the proper word is “breast” and sewing patterns for clothing like blouses and dresses speak in terms of the “bust” and “chest" measurements. I am going to assume that you do not mean to offend and that perhaps English is not your first language, but please be aware particularly if you are male that many women are uncomfortable speaking about undergarments to men or any strangers and saying “boobs” and other slang words for body parts can mark you as unprofessional and cost you business. You can search online for “how to measure for sewing” and find forms to fill in using the proper terms in English for men and women for different types of clothing. Padding in the bra cup is not a primary consideration to whether the design of the cups is properly   shaped  and  supportive  enough   to hold the breasts in a good position in combination with the straps. ...

Why can't men wear cute women's clothes?

Above: Is this cute enough for you? Who said that men can’t wear cute women’s clothes? Fear  certainly isn’t the reason — this only explains why some men are  hesitant  to wear women’s clothing — not why they  can’t  wear them. In truth, there aren’t any reasons at all why men can’t wear cute women’s clothing.  There are no laws that prohibit this, and cultural norms have been changing for many years already. Sure, there are some parts of the world in which this practice may be frowned upon by some people. So if “disapproval” is what you’re asking, yes - some disapprove but that’s  not  what you’re asking. You want to know why this is prohibited —  and it’s not.  At least, it’s not prohibited in North America and all of Europe. I can’t speak for the Middle East, but in Japan crossdressing is not only permissible, but it’s actually a fashion trend right now. I’ve heard from crossdressers from China , Africa, and Russia. Even ...

Why don't Europeans wear European style clothing anymore? They all wear American style clothing since the second WW. Do Europeans not take pride in their native clothing?

If we’re talking about the t-shirt and jeans then you have a point, as these were made popular by Americans. Except that Jeans were patented by immigrants from Europe - Jacob W. Davis was Latvian by birth and Levi Strauss was born in Buttonheim, Bavaria (now part of Germany as he was born in 1829). The classic men’s suit was made popular in Victorian England as a more pragmatic alternative to the gaudy fancy coats of the Regency period while for women the revolution towards less conservative dresses was thanks to French maiden Coco Chanel and her Little Black Dress . Very French. Sure, it was inspired by Henry Ford’s famous motto for the Model T  “you can have any colour you want, so long as it’s black”  but it is still coming from a French model and fashion guru. It merely  appears  to be American clothing because you look over, you see we all dress like you, there are these pictures of Europeans weating quite colourful exotic outfits so you wonder ...
