Although I sort of agree with Jenn that if it needs to be used consistently on something then it is probably too much work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2016059 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 13:16:01 +0000 Helena 2016059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a staple in DDs dance bag - you could try any dance stores to find some too I don't have a particular brand but have used it in the past for last minute hem issues; it works in a pinch for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015710 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 05:46:14 +0000 Gigi 2015710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used fashion tape for gaping between buttons. It works pretty well. I don't know the brand--I got it at Target. It can be really handy at times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015607 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 21:50:20 +0000 Jenn 2015607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it handy to have on hand for quick fixes, but it's not a long-term solution. Any item that requires fashion tape on a regular basis needs either to be fixed permanently or find its way out of my wardrobe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015603 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 21:07:31 +0000 Kate 2015603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do use fashion tape in a pinch. Works very well. Before fashion tape, I used duct tape for emergency repairs. It also works extremely well—sometimes too well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015599 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 20:51:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2015599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting to hear real-life uses of this tape. I associate it, spray tans, and certain oils with beauty paegents, probably because the first time I heard of the tape was when my sister was in a paegent and contestants used it to position their bikini bottoms on their butts just so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015597 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 20:25:19 +0000 Style Fan 2015597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard great things about fashion tape.&nbsp; I use scotch tape or even duck tape.&nbsp; (hides under a rock) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015574 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:40:10 +0000 annagybe 2015574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t get the Nordstrom brand. I used it for a wedding, simply to secure a fabric belt to itself, failed miserably.<br /> I returned it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015547 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 17:20:30 +0000 Diana 2015547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Hollywood brand one in the little tin. It’s very useful for things like fixing gaping necklines when you bend over or collars that won’t stay flat, etc. I’ve found it works better if you stick fabric to fabric rather than skin, because sweat or oil can loosen it. I usually stick things to my bra, which works pretty well. </p> <p>Not gonna lie, I’ve used scotch tape in a pinch. (Or lab tape.). It doesn’t work that well - real fashion tape is much better!</p> <p>For fixing things like gaping button plackets or securing wrap tops I think a good old safety pin works best. I always keep a couple on my key ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015540 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 17:02:10 +0000 karen13 2015540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just remember to test it for removeabiliy. I used some to attach a skinny belt to a polyester dress with and it remained firmly attached to the dress. It took soaking in prot remover and a lot of work to get the residue off. So always test the fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015533 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:48:48 +0000 Anonymous 2015533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think I need some after reading Sallys article! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015515 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:11:47 +0000 Sara L. 2015515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't remember what brand I have, but I use it frequently to close necklines on wrap style tops and dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015503 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:26:17 +0000 April 2015503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was working, I always kept it in my desk for emergencies (like stepping on a hem and ripping out the stitching.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is a list from Already Pretty of good uses for it:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alreadypretty.com/1001-uses-for-fashion-tape/">https://www.alreadypretty.com/.....hion-tape/</a></p> <p>My most common use besides emergencies is to close the between-button gap over the bust on button-front woven shirts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015493 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:59:17 +0000 Kirstjen 2015493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never used it.&nbsp; I always assumed that it would not retain its stickiness for an entire day.&nbsp; Does it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-1#post-2015486 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:52:20 +0000 always trying 2015486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion tape is a great thing to have around.&nbsp; Has many uses, I found some at a drug store a while back.&nbsp; Use it mostly to temporarly hold up sleeves that are too long, and to hide bra straps at shoulders.&nbsp; Also hold up part tucks on thinner tops.&nbsp; do you use it?&nbsp; what brand? </p>
