Aziraphale summed up the issue nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736907 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 02:45:00 +0000 Aziraphale 1736907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not just the problem of bra strap peekage if the top is voluminous and the neck is very open. There's also the problem of bending over and showing the whole world your boobies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736815 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 22:34:22 +0000 Aida 1736815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look for garments that have those little loops in the shoulder seams, and loop those around my bra strap. No tape! I think stronger shoulder lines also tend to help with these types of garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736761 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:08:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1736761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Opening the top button or two on the button-up gives you a v-neck. You mentioned using a scarf on higher necks, and a pendant can serve the same purpose of giving a visual V. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736653 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:52:56 +0000 Angie 1736653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the same idea on the neck, Traci.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736649 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:46:51 +0000 Traci 1736649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, this makes sense. I'll watch for that cut, Angie. I've also been relying on more button ups, which helps the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736648 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:45:00 +0000 Angie 1736648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voluminous styles often have a higher neck for exactly that reason. It helps keep the garment on the body in the same place.&nbsp;</p> <p>V-necks that are cut low in front, but close to the shoulder neck point are a good way to go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736640 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:31:04 +0000 Traci 1736640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that idea, Jenn. Taping my clothes to me just seems unappealing for everyday wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736633 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:19:33 +0000 Jenn 1736633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan of higher necklines either, and&nbsp;I hate fashion tape, so my suggestion would be a silky tank that will allow the top layer to glide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736630 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:13:59 +0000 texstyle 1736630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion tape was going to be my suggestion as well. </p> <p>ETA: I should have added that sometimes this issue keeps me from wearing the item - I'm not very patient when it comes to using extra tricks and fashion tape doesn't always work exactly right. It might keep the part taped too stationery, defeating the drape in that spot to a fault. </p> <p>Another thing I do sometimes is buy pretty bras in colors that go with my outfits that are deep plunge style (bralettes actually for me but same difference). As long as it only slightly peeks out when I bend or move too much, I'm good. If it's going to show the whole time, the garment probably just won't work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736566 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:17:47 +0000 carter 1736566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use fashion tape to hold the neckline where I want it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-volume-and-vneck-is-there-a-trick#post-1736558 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:59:25 +0000 Traci 1736558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I've been shopping for new silhouettes I've noticed I'm having a bear of a time finding deeper necklines with voluminous shapes. &nbsp;I had wondered if it was an issue of physics, being that the drapier items need the smaller neckline to keep them from flopping all over the place. &nbsp;This theory was confirmed yesterday when I got a cocoon dress with a deeper vneck. &nbsp;The dress looked exactly like I'd envisioned, but throughout the day, when I'd happen by a mirror I'd notice the neckline had shifted enough that my bra strap was showing. &nbsp;I considered that I could layer a fitted tank under the dress, but when I've done that in the past the two fabrics stick to each other and some of the ease and flow of the top garment is lost.</p> <p>Is there a trick I don't know about? &nbsp;The only thing I can come up with is to wear scarves over higher necklines to give a different proportion. </p>
