Rhinestone Lingerie - How to Make it Yourself

If you have seen the latest lingerie catalogs then you know that rhinestone lingerie is a very hot item for this fashion season. You will also have noticed how expensive rhinestone lingerie can be, and one or two relatively simple pieces can break your lingerie budget. How can a woman remain sexy and fashionable and stay within her budget?

There are plenty of resources for rhinestone lingerie. All you have to do is a quick Google search to find a list of them, but how can you purchase your lingerie and save money? A good way to do it is to get together with your girlfriends. If you can get a bunch of women together to place one giant order, then you may be able to negotiate a volume discount with the retailer or distributor. Don't forget that men enjoy rhinestone lingerie to see on their women and also to wear them, so be sure to include an order for men's rhinestone lingerie too.

If you can sew, you can make your own sexy rhinestone lingerie. Rhinestones can be purchased very inexpensively at craft stores such as AC Moore or Michaels. You can buy discounted plain lingerie at dollar stores and department stores such as Wal-Mart. Once you have the lingerie pieces you can decorate them with the rhinestones. It is easy to do. Simply add a sting of rhinestones to be used as straps on a camisole or as the top of a thong. You can arrange the rhinestones to form hearts or to spell out words like sexy or love. The possibilities are endless as long as you have a good imagination.

You can make the lingerie for you, or you can make a small business out of it and sell your creations. It is pretty easy to set up a seller account on an auction website such as eBay. Make sure you track how much you have paid for your materials and be sure to double the price to make a nice profit. In addition to auction sites, you can sell on a handicraft website such as Etsy. All merchandise on Etsy is handmade, and you can market your lingerie there.

Etsy is a great site because you can advertise that you are willing to make custom orders. Users of the site will email you what they are looking for and you can quote them a price. Once they agree to the price, you would make and then get paid for the customized order.

Christmas and Valentine's Day are two of the biggest gift giving holidays and you can capitalize on the fact that men are often clueless when it comes to buying gifts for their wives or girlfriends. Find local flea markets that you can sell your lingerie at just for the holiday season. Women will buy lingerie year round, but men will probably only buy it if a holiday is close at hand.

Don't forget your plus sized women either. They want to look just as sexy as anyone else, so it would be great if you carried plus sizes. In fact, even at a flea market you can offer to custom make any size lingerie. This would work best as a large display sign so that the women can see that you carry their size. It's not too late to get started on making that merchandise because the holidays are right around the corner.
