INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For added support, go for a strapless bra that has high quality, supportive padding and a strong clasp. Get a strapless bra in nude or a color that matches your skin tone, as this will prevent it from showing under your dress.   Most of the support in a bra comes from the band, so when you're picking out a strapless bra, make sure your band size is correct. Also, consider choosing one with silicone on the edge of the bra, which will help it stay in place.  If your regular bra is constantly riding up in your back or the straps are falling off your shoulder, you may need to size down on the band while either keeping the cup size the same or going up a size.  Check that the bra will stay up and not shift or fall down so you stay comfortable when you wear the off the shoulder dress. You may need to try on a few strapless bras to find one that offers enough support when you wear the dress. If you plan to wear the off the shoulder dress in the summer, pair it with a light coat like a jean jacket or a blazer made of linen. You can also wear a scarf or a wrap with the dress so you can still show off the cut.  For example, you may wear a baggy jean jacket with a form fitting off the shoulder dress. Or you may pair a silk scarf with a long off the shoulder dress for a summer wedding. Alternatively, you can avoid wearing any jacket or cover with the dress so you can show off the off the shoulder detail of the dress, especially if it is very warm outside. If you want to wear the off the shoulder dress in the fall, try wearing it with a cardigan that has a loose fit around the shoulders so you can still show off the top portion of the dress. Go for a cardigan in a warm material like wool or acrylic so you can stay cozy in the dress in the fall months. For example, you may wear a long, loose cardigan in a neutral color like grey or black with a patterned off the shoulder dress. Or you may go for a short, cropped cardigan in yellow or orange with an off the shoulder dress in a neutral color like black, grey, or white. Rock an off the shoulder dress in the winter months by wearing thick tights under the dress. Layer the dress by wearing a long coat with an open neck so you can show off the top of the dress. For example, you may wear tights and a coat that hits you at the ankles with the dress to a winter wedding.

SUMMARY: Wear a high-quality strapless bra underneath the dress. Opt for a jean jacket or a scarf over the dress for a summer outfit. Pair the dress with a loose cardigan for a fall look. Wear tights and a long coat with the dress for a winter outfit.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place your Developer and Blix containers in a sink or a bathtub with water that is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius. Use your thermometer to monitor the temperature of the water. Place your development tank in clean tap water that is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius, and pour same temperature water into the tank (without opening it) to pre-soak your film before developer. With your agitator, agitate the tank for one minute while it is soaking. After one minute dump the water out. It is OK if the water is colored. Make sure any excess water is removed from the tank. Use a thermometer to ensure that your Developer is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius. With a stopwatch in hand, pour the Developer into the tank until it is level with the opening at the lid. Start the stopwatch as soon as you've poured all the Developer into the tank. Agitate the tank for 15 seconds.  Do this by swirling the tank around. Flip the tank gently 4 times every 30 seconds. Tap the tank gently on the edge of the sink to pop any bubbles that have formed inside from flipping it. Repeat this every 30 seconds for 3 minutes exactly. At 3:25, start pouring the Developer back into its original chemical container or jug using the funnel. Your developing time will be 3 ½ minutes. Do not neglect to agitate the developing tank. The developing chemicals become exhausted very shortly after coming in contact with the film. The agitation ensures that fresh chemicals are touching the film. Ensure with your thermometer that the Blixer is at the right temperature. Pour the Blix mix into the tank until it is level with the opening at the lid, and start your timer. Agitate for 15 seconds then cover. Flip the tank four times, but you do not need to tap it this time! Flip the tank 4 times every 30 seconds for 6 minutes. At 6:25, pour the Blix back into its original chemical container or gallon jug using the funnel. You will need to wash the film after you pour out the Blix. Fill the tank with tap water that is 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 35 to 40.5 degrees Celsius. Agitate it again for a couple seconds and leave it soaking for 3 minutes. Fill up your tank with the Stabilizer until it is level with the opening at the lid. Agitate for 15 seconds, and leave it for 1 minute. After one minute, pour the Stabilizer back into its container using the funnel. If you like, you can do a quick rinse after the Stabilizer. Pour water into the tank, shake it gently, and pour the water back out. This is to ensure that excess chemicals have been removed form the tank.

SUMMARY:
Soak your Developer and Blix containers in warm water. Pre-soak your development tank. Pour your Developer into the development tank. Pour your Blixer into the tank. Pour your Stabilizer into the tank.
