Hate The Tape

I recently purchased a few new semi - low cut shirts that like to gap open a little and show my bra. I absolutely hate that so I decided to buy some Hollywood Fashion Tape to keep my bra hidden like it should be. After reading about Hollywood Fashion Tape on Daily Candy and Grown*Up Girlie it seemed like a great product for me. It was not!

It may have been me or it may have been the material of the shirt, but my shirt would not stay in place. Every time I looked down the tape was showing. I adjusted and readjusted the tape, but it was to no avail. I was able to keep the tape hidden for the first two hours at work, but then I got caught in a particularly embarrassing situation.

I had a client in my office when I felt my shirt come unstuck from the tape. I am in the middle of trying to explain why homeowners rates are so high in Florida when I see the tape clearly visible on my chest. I tried the best I could to pull my shirt over to hide the tape without trying to appear to obvious. It didn't work. I tugged and tugged at my shirt, tried to prop my arm on my desk, and mess with my necklace, but there was no hiding my tape. The couple at my desk pretended not to notice, but I am sure they were wondering why in the world I have tape stuck to my chest. LOL!

I finally made up some excuse to leave the room and went to through the piece of tape away. The other piece of fashion tape hit the trash a couple of hours later. I had had enough!


Fashionista and "with it" style girl I am not!

lol! I'm sorry the tape didn't work out for you. I actually hadn't tried it out, but heard so many good things about it. I'm guessing it works better if you stick it directly to your skin. who knows....

oh...I forgot to mention, to keep your shirt closed like that, you might want to try a more permanent solution, like velcro. I just avoid button-up shirts altogether for that reason, and the ones I do have, I wear a cami underneath.

I actually had the tape stuck directly to my skin. Thanks for the tip on the velcro. The shirt wasn't a button up and I had actually tried the tape on the another shirt as well. However, both shirts were made of the same material. I don't know what the problem was. I have heard lots of people rave about the tape. Perhaps the problem is me. LOL!

I am just really not wanting to comment on this one. I'm just biting my tongue and not saying anything at all.
