 I wore a fairly low-cut dress for DH's company holiday party and was afraid of showing the goods to his coworkers...and not only the goods, but breastpads included! LOL!  So I saw in one of my magazines that they sell these special tape things, which are probably way over priced...so I just went to the drugstore and bought regular double-sided tape! And it woked PERFECTLY! Didn't budge at all! Just wanted to pass on the tip.... |

Ok, I wanna know how you got it to work because I tried that the other day at our work reception and I ended up hanging out like no one's business.  Guess that's why the guys were friendly with me.  |

Well from what I remember from your pictures, your boobs are much bigger than mine! So maybe that's why?! Mine seriously lasted all night with only two pieces, one on each side! My dress does have a little built in padding in the boob area, so maybe that helped keep things up, but it still opens when I sit down. But the tape kept it all in place!  |

| Karen, one thing they (the actors) do is use a few min-strips no longer than ----- (that) and place on your skin first then place the clothing ontop. Oh and place about 1/4 to 1/2 in from the edge of where the top will be worn. |

Yeah, these D's are hard to escape I swear they don't make shirts for me. It was a a-line criss-cross blouse, not sure if you can even picture it. BUT I was trying to stick the two pieces of cloth together so it wouldn't gape open, kwim? I couldn't use a safety pin because you'd notice it, although I guess that would have been better than my headlights being on high beam. One guy said to me "I'm sorry, I'm trying to have a serious convo with you but they are staring right at me". Thank goodness we know each other well and for a long time so it was funny rather than sexual or embarassing.  I"m going to have to do something about that shirt before I wear it again.  |

| one thing I do for shirts that gap is O will use a hook and eye closer on that part, I sew them in or I have uses snaps before. If all else fails I will safty pin from the inside, hard to do but it works. |

| I'm sorry Karen, I had to sorta laugh at your reply! I definitely do NOT have that problem. I'm a small B even while nursing. They did get bigger as the night went on though! I bet some of the guys were like "wow, at first she was flat and now she has cleavage!" Anyhow, like Di said, you have to put the tape right at the edge and only use a small strip. Yes, I think I stuck it to my skin first and then the dress, but not sure. So are we going to see a pic of your top? I'll show you mine if you show me yours!! haha |

I'd read that but never tried it...don't really need to since I'm barely a B but still good to know  |

Dh took one of me before I wore it but the picture is awful. He sure knows how to make me look crappy with a camera. I'll download it to my computer tonight, though and let ya take a look. If I recall I had my suit coat buttoned in that pic, though, so not sure if you'll be able to tell or not. |
