You have done the training, you're feeling fit...now it's time to decorate your bra.
We don’t mean wearing your bra over your T-shirt (not a good look and very uncomfortable), we mean wearing your bra in all its splendid glory... and that goes for the men too!
For some, creating a masterpiece is easy, but for others, a little more help is required. Follow our guide and tips on how to make a wonderful creation that's comfortable to wear and cunningly disguises any bits that you may prefer to conceal. The important thing is to be there with all your fellow walkers raising awareness in true Walk the Walk style!
Whatever you decide to make, the following items are likely to help. Part of a team? Share the cost!
The one bit that so many people are self-conscious about... but never fear! Try using fringing all the way around the bottom of the bra, it comes in all different lengths, or create a little skirt to your bra like Lorraine Kelly - it looks great and does the job! But beware... whatever you attach to the bottom make sure you allow for the elastic to stretch when you put the bra on!
If you are a little conscious of showing your assets, use interesting fabrics that you can drape and swathe without adding volume. You can find gorgeous soft materials that will sparkle and shimmer all the way through the night.
Cover your bra in flowers, pom poms, frills or anything voluminous, it can create the illusion of added inches!
If your upper arms are not quite as toned as you would like... why not try attaching mock sleeves in chiffon, finish them at the wrist and they will keep you warm as well or attach fringing from the straps that will gently hang to the elbow.
If it's cold or wet we will supply everybody with a clear weather protector, not a sophisticated piece of equipment but it certainly does the job. Worn over your bra it will keep you warm and dry whatever the weather, and still display your handiwork...don't wait until you are cold...just wear it! Don't forget a bit of Vaseline under the straps and along the bra line can help keep you comfortable whatever the night brings.
Look great as you get ready for your Walk the Walk challenge
