Looking great in your favorite outfit isn’t just about the clothes you wear; it’s also about how they fit and stay in place. Whether you’re going to a wedding, heading out for the evening, or simply want to look 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 simply fits better. No rolled edges, shifting straps, or embarrassing tugging at your clothes all day. At Shape Tape, we see every day how this simple combination provides greater 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 unevenness and giving your body a beautiful, streamlined shape under your clothes. Whether you choose high-waisted shorts, a bodysuit, or shaping briefs, shapewear helps your clothes fit better and makes you feel confident and polished.
But what do you do about those little things? Like a dress that falls open at the bust or a top that keeps slipping off your shoulder? That’s where fashion tape It’s double-sided tape specially made for clothing and skin. You use it to keep your outfit in place, so you don’t have to worry about gaps, unwanted exposure, or a visible bra.
Together, shapewear and fashion tape tackle both major and minor clothing problems. One smooths, while the other holds everything in place. The perfect combination.
How to Use Fashion Tape with Different Types of Shapewear
1. Bodysuits
Are you wearing a shaping bodysuit under a dress or top with a plunging neckline? Fashion tape can help keep the neckline in place. Simply apply the tape between your skin and the fabric so it doesn’t shift when you move or bend over.
If the edges of your bodysuit are visible or roll up under your clothes, you can secure them with tape. 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 around 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 really comes in handy. Are you wearing strapless shapewear or going braless with only nipple covers? Fashion tape helps keep your dress or top in place. Stick small pieces of tape along the neckline, sides, or underarms 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, dry skin: Always apply tape to clean, dry skin. Lotion or oil makes the tape less sticky.
-
Test first: Using fashion tape for the first time? Test a small piece on your skin to check that you don’t have a reaction.
-
Press firmly: Press the tape firmly so it stays in place.
-
Choose the right shapewear: Not too tight, not too loose. The right size helps your outfit drape better and feel more comfortable.
-
Practice beforehand: Don’t wait until the last minute. Try on your entire outfit with tape and shapewear beforehand to see what still needs adjusting.
