Looking great in your favorite outfit isn't just about the clothes you wear; it's also about how it fits and stays in place. Whether you're attending a wedding, going out for a night, or simply want to feel confident at work, the little things make all the difference. That's why combining fashion tape with shapewear is one of the easiest style tricks for a neat, secure look.
When you use these two together, your outfit just fits better. No curling edges, shifting straps, or embarrassing tugging at your clothes all day. At Shape Tape, we see every day how this simple combination provides more comfort, a smooth appearance, and extra confidence. In this blog, we'll show you exactly how to use them together for a sleek, flawless look, every time.
Why Fashion Tape and Shapewear Work So Well Together
Let's start at the beginning. Shapewear is great for smoothing out imperfections and giving your body a beautiful, sleek shape under your clothes. Whether you choose high-waisted shorts, a bodysuit, or shaping briefs, shapewear ensures your clothes drape better and you feel confident and put-together.
But what about those little things? Like a dress that gapes at the bust, or a top that keeps slipping off your shoulder? That's where fashion tape comes in. It's double-sided tape specifically designed for clothing and skin. You use it to keep your outfit in place, so you don't have to worry about slips, peek-a-boos, or a visible bra.
Together, shapewear and fashion tape address both major and minor wardrobe malfunctions. One smooths, the other secures. A perfect combination.
How to Use Fashion Tape with Different Types of Shapewear
1. Bodysuits
Wearing a shaping bodysuit under a dress or top with a deep neckline? Fashion tape can help keep the neckline in place. Simply stick the tape between your skin and the fabric so it doesn't shift when you move or bend.
If the edges of your bodysuit are visible or roll up under your clothes, you can tape them down. This keeps everything smooth and invisible.
2. High-Waisted Shorts
Perfect for shaping your waist and hips. But sometimes the waistband rolls down, especially if you move or dance a lot. A small piece of fashion tape between the band and your skin keeps everything neatly in place.
You can also use tape to secure your top, especially if you tuck it into your shapewear and don't want it to shift.
3. Strapless or Backless Outfits
This is where fashion tape truly shines. Wearing strapless shapewear or going braless with just nipple covers? Fashion tape helps keep your dress or top in place. Apply small pieces of tape along the neckline, sides, or armpits to prevent slipping.
Tips for the Best Results
Using fashion tape and shapewear together is easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind for the best results:
-
Clean and dry skin: Always apply tape to clean, dry skin. Lotion or oil will make the tape less sticky.
-
Test first: Using fashion tape for the first time? Test a small piece on your skin to check for any reaction.
-
Press firmly: Press the tape firmly to ensure it stays put.
-
Choose the right shapewear: Not too tight, not too loose. The correct size helps your outfit fit better and is more comfortable.
-
Practice beforehand: Don't wait until the last minute. Try on your entire outfit with tape and shapewear beforehand to see what adjustments you might need.
