Yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620632 Tue, 15 May 2012 22:45:40 +0000 Sveta 620632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's too bad, Sarah!

Please let us know if the dry cleaner is able to salvage the top! And thank you for the warning. I've used fashion tape on silk before without any adverse effects, but I will be extra careful from now on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620584 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:33:11 +0000 Tanya 620584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about your blouse and hope the cleaner manages to save it. *fingers crossed* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620576 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:25:06 +0000 Louise 620576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack!!

And here I gave up on fashion tape because it wouldn't stick enough for me... sorry to hear about your blouse. </p> <p>On some of my blouses, if I *just* sew up the part that gapes, I can get the blouse on over my head by undoing the other buttons (or in some cases without undoing any buttons). Maybe worth a try for the future? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620486 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:24:26 +0000 Jonesy 620486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a sad story!

I would never have guessed. I will try a tiny snap instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620088 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:48:24 +0000 Kirti 620088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it comes out!

Lately I have been using a baby safety pin in my silk blouse. I works okay, but you can't position it when you are running late. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620051 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:13:15 +0000 christieanne 620051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point - sorry that you have gone through that. Can you get one of those clear teeny snaps added to that gaping area to cover the tape/stain and then hold the gap? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620022 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:20:05 +0000 modgrl 620022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip! I was planning on using it this weekend. I will layer a tank instead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-tape-silk-sadness#post-620019 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:16:26 +0000 sarah 620019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to share a snafoo I had with fashion tape. It has become my new best friend for closing gaps on button down shirts. However, I made the mistake of using it on a silk blouse that also gaped a bit, and some of the stickiness left a residue that then accumulated some sort of stain from god-knows-where (I think it was the seat belt in our old car). The dry cleaner is not sure she can get it out. Fingers crossed. </p> <p>Anyway, the moral of the story: don't use fashion tape on silk! Stick (get it?) to cotton. Argh. </p>
