We have all been there before: in need of a quick outfit fix that requires little effort. I always realize I need something a bit extra to help my clothing lay correctly, right before I am heading out the door for an event that requires head to toe perfection. Enter Fearless Tape: a double sided tape for fashion a clothing!
Fix a Hem Even being 5’8″ I run into hems that are just too long or get pulled out of place. Once I figured out that Fearless Tape could fix the issue without a seamstress, I started to use it all the time! Instead of getting out your needle and thread when in a rush to fix a hem, you can put the double-side fashion tape on the inside of the hem and stick it to your clothing. It will last all night until you can get your clothing sewn back in place. Similarly, if you have a dress or pants that drag while you walk, you can shorten the hem by folding the fabric under and adding the tape to the inside. Instant fashion hack!
Go Braless This is Fashion Tape 101: the side boob! As you can see from these beach photos, my People of Leisure dress shows some serious skin in the back. No bras allowed! In order to keep the dress in place and not show the girls, I added Fearless Tape at the shoulder lines of the dress. This kept it sitting correctly on my frame without accidentally opening up to show more than I wanted to!
Anchor the End of Your Belt I have tried so many different ways to make the end of my belt look good, but when the tail is too long (or too short) it can be a tough try! I’ve started adding the clothing tape to the end of my belt and sticking it to the other side of the belt. No more fashion belt faux pas.
Close the Gap on Buttons GAH, just thinking about this one makes me cringe. If you have a bigger chest or wide shoulders (I am the latter) then you will understand the annoyance of having a gap in between the two buttons at the top of your shirt. It shows everything underneath! Secure the fabric and fill the hole by placing Fearless Tape in between!
Keep a Slit in Place Summer is the season of high slits in dresses and skirts, which also means it’s time to keep those slits in place! To prevent showing to much leg when sitting down, place double-sided Fearless Tape on the inside of the skirt to keep it that material covering you up!W
