    Default Will it shrink?

    So I ordered the last of my stripper-gear off the net today in prep for my audition. It was one black and one white thong. They are Leg Avenue brand. I was a touch worried when I saw they were One Size fits most, as I'm pretty small, but I figured, what the hell? They were a good price, so I bought them. I just got them today, and I was right: they are a little too big. The string part is fine, but the underside is too long. The back of the t-back is almost an inch and a half above my tailbone! It leaves the bottom loose and I highly dislike that, as it makes my poor kitty feel vulnerable (it's the only way I can put it.) even if the thong is hiked up to such heights, because it just slips back down. Plus, what kind of show is it if my thong is hanging low enough that you can see the goods before the thong even comes off?

    It's made of nylon and spandex, and i was wondering if there was a way I could coax it to shrink a bit, or is there a way I could possibly just mend it with a bit of sewing skills?

    I wouldnt know about shrinkage, I would actually worry that it might stretch, seeing as its part spandex. But I may be incorrect on that front. In this situation what I've always done is take the underside at the back (below where it connects to the side part), cut it, then stitch it back to the place where it would join the sides. (I hope thats understandable) Essentially make the underside shorter by cutting out a section. If you pull from the back like that you have no problem with coverage issues. I've altered several thongs like this with no trouble. Good luck!

    Just trash them and get some real stripper thongs. They won't shrink (if anything they'll stretch), and for the time/money you'll spend trying to make them work, you might as well just buy some better ones. Leg Avenue thongs are ill-fitting crap! Those things never fit anyone quite right.

    If there's a stripper store around, just go get yourself one thong to wear for audition, and then worry about other outfits later. You don't need more than one thong to start out with - they wash easily.
