Reporters and Wireless Lav Mics

It's Summer and some of my reporters are wearing dresses with no where to clip the lav mic unit. One reporter will hold the unit but has accidentally hit the mute button! Another clips it onto the top of her dress behind her head. I'm hoping there is some headband type thing they could put on their leg to clip it. Suggestions?

Bra strap. It's done all the time. Look at the Networks. I clip the wireless to the bra strap.
It they don't like it. Hold it or they bring a belt to clip the wireless or use a stick mic.

That or one of the sickie solutions my personal favorite is moleskin, in the center of the cleavage just above the bra line.
 
The transmitter??? Man, you got have some big tits to hide that in your cleavage!

Oops. I was thinking of the really flimsy blouses and skirts that tend to flop all over with a mic attached.

In this case I would either use something underneath the waist.

Or attach the pack to the bra assuming one is being worn. If it is not than this is an option as well.

Or my personal favorite for quick stand-ups and the like is to go with the garter method.
