On airplanes, it's common to hear: "Please, fasten your seat-belts."
And would it make sense to say in regard to the belts that we wear with slacks or skirts: "to fasten/unfasten one's belt"?
Additionally, and would it make sense: "to fasten/unfasten one's tie"?
How about saying:"to fasten/unfasten one's bras"?
Thanks.
to fasten/unfasten

Re: to fasten/unfasten
Yes, all of those uses of 'fasten/unfasten' would be acceptable. (N.B. 'bra' wold normally be singular!)
