wearing a strapless dress

annasus92 · 03-13-2008, 10:02 PM

i hope there are mallvibers that can relate to this: you know when your dress doesn't really fit in the bust area so its looser in that area, because i don't like having to pull up my strapless dress every 5 minutes

how can you fix this (besides alterations and getting a dress with straps)

open to all suggestions, thanks!

tape. my prom dress didn't fit and it was too late to get it altered..you could also safety pin your dress onto your bra.

i used double sided tape...but its so embarrasing how it always falls without the tape><

I always use a tiny safety pin and pin it to my bra as well. Does the trick!

Double-sided tape (or rolled up duct tape!), safety pins (or a fancy brooch). I was watching Tyra and there was a celebrity stylist on. If a dress is too loose, you can just fold up the part that's loose (pleats...?) at the back of your dress and put a nice brooch there.

for double sided tape, is it very secure? if i sweat, would i need to bring more tape/

They even make tape especially for this. I bought it for my gf because she always complained about her shirt not fitting and her bra would end up showing. Im pretty sure it was by these ppl:
