No seriously. Help ASAP please! We have my husband's FDNY dinner dance tomorrow night. My dress is a maroon red and plunging. Its awesome.  My strapless bra is fine. But my post-3-kids-always-doing-Crossfit boobs are lacking. I tested it out by taping them a bit and gave myself a little bit of cleavage. But I'd rather not have photographer's tape on my chest. lol I am placing an Amazon order for something right now anyway so I figured I'd throw some tape in there. Has anyone used one that actually works as promised? I need to place my order fairly quickly. TIA! updated:As promised, here are some pics. I could not find a second to get to any stores so I ended up going with the tape! I have this thick black fabric-y like tape (it's photographer's tape and I use it for EVERYTHING. Clearly. lol) I taped all the way around, then put my bra on. It worked perfectly. I made a stupid little SnapChat in the middle of the night and just took a quick screenshot of it because you can really appreciate the cleavage in that one.  Lets just say I was fielding a lot of texts from my girlfriends after I posted this, so tape really does work (and it did not hurt at all when it came time to pull it off). And oh yeah, my dress had POCKETS. Best dress ever!    SaveSaveSaveSave |

Duck tape does the trick for me!

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Clear packing tape. Across the front and around the circumference.

I seriously was going to just wear this tape but I felt funny. So you're saying it would be acceptable to use my fabric-like tape? Because it didn't hurt or anything. Maybe I'll just use that....

Duck tape does the trick for me! Ouch! Doesn't it hurt when it's removed? |

Duck tape does the trick for me! Ouch! Doesn't it hurt when it's removed? Shave the area ahead of time. The hair grows back but you'll be glad you knew this. I have firsthand experience with tape on my back and it wasn't shaved. It hurt. A lot! |

I spray a little hot water on it and rip it right off. No pain to me. I like that it stays put all night long, with no adjusting.

OMG!!! The things we do as women! Seriously! I am so out of time with the rest of my day, and tomorrow sadly, but I may try to run into VS later and see if they have some kind of insert to give me a little lift. I don't need much since I already have a bra that works. If I can't find anything, I'm taping these puppies up!  SaveSave |

One of the girls my daughter dances with is very well endowed. She uses cloth surgical tape when she needs to minimize her bust. She found it had the best support without being too painful to remove. If you use duct tape, be sure and protect the nipple - she tells stories about that experience.

I would recommend Toupee tape. It's pretty easy to find and easy to remove.

All of this talk about taping boobs makes my boobs hurt. Adhesive doesn't play nice with my skin. OP, in exchange for boob taping advice, this thread requires a picture of you in your fabulous dress.

You need those little cutlets that go inside the bra to push them together a little. They have them at Target.

I've always used duct tape too. It can hurt nipples when peeled off so be careful. I hold and dh tapes. Holds well for those various garments that are impossible to wear a bra with.

I seriously have never heard of taping boobs before. I can't visualize and have ZERO intentions of googling it.

Sharon Yes, Sally's beauty or any beauty place should have it, top stick toupee tape, it will be a couple dollars cheaper than fashion tape which seems to be the same thing but in a prettier box. One tip, only stick out once, if you peel it off and redo it to make things lay flat, it doesn't stay. You've got to get it right the first time, luckily a box has like 50 strips so you'll be all set |

I can do that! The party is tonight, and we always sleep over since it's a nice wedding-type venue and about a 45 minute drive from home. I'll have to post the pic when I get back tomorrow!
