Hollywood Tape is perfect for keeping my low-cut tops from revealing too much! marthalynn16 [at] gmail [dot] com
I love me some Hollywood Fashion tape! And, as someone with a tiny waist but big hips, I definitely see the utility in some hip huggers. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to uses HFS fashion tape to make all my favorite dresses look pretty on me without any fear of malfunction. :)
I use the tape to close any gaps in button down shirts.
I love the easy and relaxed look of oversized v-neck tops but the necklines are often too deep or droopy for me to wear comfortably, so fashion tape would be perfect for keeping the neckline from creeping too low.

i have never tried fashion tape before, so this is a great giveaway! i can't imagine the little tweaks i could use it for!

I'd use mine to rein in the Girls!

oh wow, i love their fashion tape but i had no idea they had all these other products! i might need one of these hip huggers.
I like to use tape to keep my cardigans and layers in place, so my bra/tank straps don't end up showing when they slip a little too far towards my shoulders
mmaldr [at] gmail [dot] com
What a great giveaway! I've always wanted to use Hollywood Tape, it could help with those low-cut tops and for keeping collars in their place!

I LOVE Hollhwood tape. I only knew about it recently from one of Sal's posts. I use it to keep my cardi's and jackets from going off to the sides of my body (due to my...uh....large boobs wanting to not be covered up). It's so nice not to be constantly be pulling my jackets back over my front side!
Marylorenz at charter dot net
I use Hollywood tape to keep those oh-so-flattering, but just-a-little-low cut wrap tops closed.
alecamanda [at] hotmail [dot] come
I would use Hollywood Tape on those cardigans that keep slipping off of my shoulders so I don't have to keep tugging on my layers.
I learned from your blog to use fashion tape to pull back the corners of cardigans. I love that look!
rosalynnye [at] comcast [dot] net
I have used Hollywood Fashion tape to keep the straps of a slightly-too-big formal dress from falling down my shoulders, and the neckline from flopping down when I leaned over. It was great!
lady_harriet_wimsey at yahoo dot com
I use double sided tape all the time for shirts that misbehave.

I have never used HFT, but I would use it to keep my shirts from slipping off my shoulders.

I use fashion tape to keep belt ends from flapping about.
ranjita_1514@yahoo.com
I use the tape primarily for wayward bra straps
sherri [dot] okamoto [at] gmail [dot] com
Wow, the Hip Hugger is a great idea.
I also think the Boot Straps (not listed here, see their site) sound awesome.
This is my first comment, so I also want to say that I love your blog!
maria [at] bornski [dot] com
I use fashion tape to secure the ends of thin belts and to keep my button-up shirts from gaping.
The number one reason I use fashion tape though, is to secure the slit backs of all my skirts -- I've got a large bottom, & short skirts end up even shorter from the back.
What should be a short, but work appropriate skirt ends up positively indecent every time I move and the slit splits almost all the way up my thighs.
laura @ thekellygang.com.au
So many uses, but primarily fashion tape helps me to correctly align wrap tops on my short waisted slightly busty torso.
I like the sound of the hip-huggers too, as a pear shape, most of my bottoms tend to gape, even after I take them in a little.
wa [dot] sighed [at] gmail [dot] com
I use the tape to keep my ill-fitting button-downs from gaping too badly.
(marisa (dot) brandt [at] gmail [dot] com)
Wow, I've never tried fashion tape before, but it certainly seems useful. I'm a teacher, and constantly worried about my blouses gaping over and my students getting an eyeful... So I would definitely use the tape to keep all my bits in place! Thanks a bunch!
(martinalynneslifeacademic [at] gmail [dot] com)
I use fashion tape to keep wrap dresses closed and low-cut tops from revealing too much.
etb5c [at] virginia [dot] edu
Keeping shirts from being inadvertently revealing... Would definitely like to try the hip-huggers, too.
mindspillage at gmail
Hollywood fashion tape would be perfect to stop button downs from gaping on me!
myfacebutbetter [at] gmail [dot] com
I want fashion tape for making fake collars and holding the end of a belt down (the loops are never properly place imho)
becksterslaboratory[at]gmail.com
I mainly use Hollywood Tape to close gapes on cardigans - it's made it possible for them to fit in both the waist and bust! It's also great to keep a wrap dress closed at the right spot - much better than the safety pins I used to use.
hannahlld [at] gmail [dot] com
Great for low-cut dresses!
Thanks for the giveaway.
ristidrdn@gmail.com
I forget why I originally bought fashion tape... It didn't work for the idea I had. I might have to try it for holding cardigans in place, though!
I really like the look of those hip huggers, though. Many pants fit me in the front and around the widest part of my buttocks, but are way too big at the back waist, and belts do not look good on me, at least when they're worn as they're supposed to be, so this would be a good alternative.
k.starr.ups [at] gmail [dot] com
Fixing those pesky shirt gaps - that's my main use.
I'd use the tape to help keep collars in place on shirts and blazers
stephanie(dot)nisbet@yahoo(dot)com
I would use the tape on annoying extra-long belt ends that I wish would lie flat against my waist rather than flopping around everywhere
ba602 [at] hotmail [dot] com
I use Hollywood Fashion Tape to keep my jacket collar in place and I also use it to keep my button-up shirts from gapping open.
trmoreland [at] juno [dot] com
I have never used fashion tape but I'd love to try it. I like how you use it to create lapels on your shirts that stay in place.
Marjorie

I use it to keep wrap dresses closed at the bust.
Totally in love with the idea of a pumice sweater shaved! Mwyatt(at)Tami(dot)rr(dot)com.
Hollywood tape is great for keeping the loose end of a belt from flapping out if there's not enough to knot it.
coupon dungeon [at] gmail [dot] com
I use it to hold down those gorgeous drapey tops that have a tendency to flash my secret bits to everyone if I'm not careful!
pinkpants25 [at] msn [dot] com
The hip hugger looks brilliant!
I use the tape to prevent gaps with blouses that button.
gypsumoon (at) embarqmail (dot) com
I use fashion tape when I am wearing a low cut dress or taking my modeling photos. I haven't tried Hollywood Fashion Tape but I'd like to as the other brand I tried wasn't up to par.
filmtvcollectibles@yahoo.com
I've not actually used fashion tape, but it's been on my mind to find some to try. This is a great giveaway and a chance to give it a try.
d_richard001 {at} yahoo {dot} come
I love Hollywood Tape! When wearing a button-down shirt, I usually leave the first one or two buttons open and use it tape the collar to the shirt sideways and thus create a big décolleté.
sonja[dot]hagemann[at]gmail[dot]com
I would definitely use the Hip Huggers...
crazie (dot) daizie (at) gmail (dot) com
I use the fashion tape to map little lapels on my cardigans, especially when I have a bright, contrasting t-shirt underneath that I want to really peek out.
marathcker (at) gmail (dot) com
I use the fashion tape to stop my wide V neck shirts from falling off of my shoulders. And of course to reign in the girls for modesty at work. Have always wanted to try the deodorant eraser though.
Thanks!

I use Fashion Tape for the gapes between blouse buttons. adrienha[at]yahoo[dot]com
Adore fashion tape! I use it to close gaps in button downs and to wrangle other low cut tops into place for the office.
flipfloplawyer [at] gmail [dot] com
Those are all great products! Fashion tape is especially useful to close the gaps between buttons on button-down shirts and cardigans. ldyndiuk [at] yahoo [dot] com
I use fashion tape to create dramatic draping in some of my longer, fuller skirts.
camoflage31 [at] hotmail [dot] com
Fashion tape is great for when a regular bra isn't going to cut it.
Breakinglight11@gmail.com
Fashion tape is a critical part of wearing any wrap top - shirt, dress, even mock wraps. Love the wrap look, hate the gap. I have multiple tins stashed in my suitcase, briefcase, and makeup case... just in case.
I would love to be able to keep low V-necks or wrap tops/dresses in place without revealing all. As a mother of a toddler and a teacher, I am often bending over, and I don't want the world to get an eyeful. I could also use HFT to keep my strapless dress up at my sister's wedding this summer. Thanks for the giveaway!
goosegirl81@gmail.com
I love those Hip Huggers - might have to pick up a set.
I'd use that fashion tape to stick down my wayward button/zipper facings. I have 3 fleece jackets (the same style in different colors - I loved it so much, when they went on clearance I bought them all) and they have material on the inside of the placket where facing would be on a button-down, and they're always poking out, but I can't iron-on-tape them, and I don't want stitches to show. this would work great!
dustwindbun at gmail dot com
I've never used fashion tape before, but after looking at your "Uses for Tape" post, I'm kicking myself for not having picked it up before now! I would definitely use it to temporarily shorten my pants so I can switch between heels and flats without having re-hem.
ostipow at gmail dot com
I use Hollywood Tape to hold down the end of my belts. It's awesome!
briesheldon [at] gmail [dot] com
I haven't used fashion tape yet, but I'd love to have some to keep open cardigans in place. hikari07 [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks!
I'll use the tape to prevent gaping side pockets!

agarrett [at]armc [dot] org wants some of that tape to keep my wide-necked sweaters from sliding off my shoulders! What an awesome giveaway!
I think all of these products are great. I use fashion tape to keep wrap dresses and tops securely wrapped and I think the hip huggers are genius. I always suffer from gaposis with jeans and pants even after I have them altered.
So I have a ton of button down shirts that don't have a button at the very top, and I am weird about needing to have shirt collars together when I'm wearing a button down beneath another shirt or jacket. Fashion tape is awesome for this! therapysession37[at]gmail[dot]com
I can't go anywhere sans bra ... Hollywood Tape keeps my wrap dresses from showing any of my undergarments!
shanahertz [at] yahoo [dot] com
Hollywood Fashion Tape keeps pretty but high-maintenance dresses and low-cut tops in place so I can concentrate on having fun! :) cettepetitepoire [at] gmail [dot] com.
As a woman of Curves, the Hip Hugger sounds like an awesome product!! I have a smaller waist and generous hips, and I am always beholden to my big bulky belt. With the Hip Huggers, my skinny jeans could REALLY be skinny. douxquemiel [at] gmail [dot] com!!
Man, fashion tape is a must for keeping down lapels. I don't know what it is about me and the way I store my clothing, but gosh darned it, my lapels always pop. It's so annoying. I like a nice wide neck-line, too, so that way I make absolutely sure that my necklaces are on display, my hair is showcased to its best, etc.
I did, in fact, pick up these tips from Already Pretty, THANK you very much. :)
horan[DOT]maryrebecca[AT]gmail[DOT]com
I use it on my blouses to keep them from gaping at my bust. I love it, it makes me feel so much more comfortable and confident.
bugamok [at] gmail [dot] com
I use fashion tape to keep wrap dresses/top from showing the girls off too much.
kuomeisun[at]gmail[dot]com
I would love to use Hollywood Fashion Tape to keep my tanks, camis and cardigans from sliding off of my sloped shoulders which is a constant problem for me. I would also use the Hip Huggers to keep my jeans from puckering at the top where the zipper is. I would love to use Hollywood Fashion products to eliminate all the fussing I do with my clothes all day!
treasureitnow [at] comcast [dot] net
I would use the Hollywood fashion tape to keep the lapels on my favorite blazer from going all wonky.
Ooo, I just ran out of my Hollywood tape and would love a refill! As a busty gal with a small waist I suffer from the girls trying to escape button down shirts and cardigans - the tape keeps them where they belong!

I use tape to prevent my blouses from revealing too much cleavage ;)
I would use the tape to tame wayward lapels and ends of belts.
jessicamlawrence [at] gmail [dot] com
A poster above suggested using fashion tape to secure the ends of long belts... Genius! I've never used fashion tape before, but I have a great many flappy belts that could use some discipline!
krbelle [at] gmail [dot] com
I would love to try fashion tape. Seems like a perfect solution to tops that slouch down and reveal too much, or blouses that gap open in the front.
Pam
pskramer@earthlink.net
I buy fashion tape by the case and use it for bustal gappage in button-front shirts, and I'm using it this very day to keep my slightly-too-long belt from flapping in the breeze.
My BFF bought me a hip hugger for Christmas and OMG it's the BEST!!
mlk58@earthlink.net
I've never used any of their products, but with the way you rave about them I've always been curious! I usually look them over at Joanne's but never make it home with any.
i had no idea these items existed! i would use hollywood fashion tape for my button down shirts. i have a larger chest, so invariably, the shirts gape at my chest. i have been left with two alternatives: buy a much larger shirt that doesn't gape, but then looks ridiculous on the rest of me, or use safety pins. i've relegated myself to the use of safety pins! would love the tape for this issue! tjschneider [at] stthomas [dot] edu
I use fashion tape to close gaps on button downs and as a quick fix on hems when I don't have a sewing kit with me
AnnaRUok@msn.com
i'm a chesty babe, so MAN would some tape be helpful to keep shoulders or vnecks from sliding around (hellooooo, sudden exposed (wide, padded) bra straps or too much cleave!), or keeping button plackets smooth... i pretty much need all the help i can get. :)

I use Hollywood Fashion Tape to keep my deep-cut crossover necklines from flapping open by taping them above my cleavage to stay conservative. It keeps me from freaking out and fussing with my clothes both on stage and off.

I need to use fashion tape to keep my shirts from showing too much
Having finally gotten my own stash of fashion tape, I am in LOVE. And their other products seem so handy (I could totally use those hip huggers...).
I have used the tape so far to keep an open cardigan in place where I wanted it and also to make the neckline of a wrap dress more work appropriate.
brightsidedwellerATgmailDOTcom
After learning of fashion tape on your blog, I use it to hold closed parts of dresses or shirts that either are missing a button (whether for real or I feel a button should have been placed there as it gaps) or hold back collars.
I'm Jean at thilmanyj@yahoo.com
I LOVE Fashion Tape! I use it to keep low necklines from getting too low, especially with wrap style tops and dresses. This tape also saved a sweater at work one day. I noticed the shoulder seam looked strange on my cardigan and discovered that one of the stitches was unraveling and was about to run down the arm. I stuck it in place with fashion tape from inside meaning to sew it when I got home, but I never got around to it. I wear and wash the sweater a lot and the fashion tape is still holding! I'd also love to try the Hip Hugger - I have that problem even with curvy fit jeans. Thanks!
ilembach(at)yahoo(dot)com
I'm a big fan of fashion tape! I use it to keep v-neck wrap items together, and I'm using it today to keep my pants lining from poking out (I don't have time to get them to a tailor right now)!
jewishgirlblog [at] gmail [dot] com
I am all about using fashion tape to keep wrap tops in place. No secret shifting for a surprise peek a boo moment. It may also help some of my lower cut camis behave too.
I am most excited about the hip huggers. I'm like Liz, all hips, little waist. It would be perfect for those times when a belt looks too lumpy under tunic length tops but you need a little cinching.
khowe101 [at] yahoo [dot] com
I want to try fashion tape, but have been making do for the moment with other securing methods. I use it to open up the neckline of button-ups, similar to how Sally opens her cardigans. Those hip huggers look interesting, too. moonwindmusic at yahoo
I would like to try fashion tape to make my layered skirts lay better.
alyce dot callison at gmail dot com
I would use it for keeping my wedding gown in place! I am small of boob and always worry that sleeveless tops would just slide right down my torso.

I've never used fashion tape but I'm thinking it would be a good fix to make some of my shirts more teaching appropriate! The gappy neckline just doesn't work when leading down to work with a student. elisabethastone (at) gmail (dot) com.
Hollywood Fashion Tape would stop my bra straps from peeking out under oddly-shaped necklines or tank tops!

The Hollywood tape would help hold down the sides of a wrap style top.
sahirah [dot] dance [at] yahoo [dot]com
I have a small chest, and dresses or tops that cross over never seem to hit me in the right place. I use the Hollywood Fashion tape to keep the openining closed when I don't feel like wearing a cami.
I use fashion tape with low cut tops to prevent any glimpses of the girls. bichmay [at] hotmail [dot] com Thanks!
I use Fashion Tape to keep the top edges of my favorite cardigan folded back. My daughter uses it for quick hemming on-the-go. Thanks!
mann [dot] stacie [at] gmail [dot] com
Wow. I think I need most of the stuff on that website. I've not used fashion tape, but I would use it on my faux wrap dress, which gapes a bit (I use a pin now) and to try the faux lapel on a cardigan.
mq1977 at gmail dot com
I have not tried the fashion tape but think it would come in handy as an art teacher who is always leaning over to help students- yikes
I've never used fashion tape, but with the size of my cleavage, I probably ought to. I think the HFS boot straps are beyond brilliant, though. So need those!
z[at]zannahdo.com
So far, I've only used it to pin down collars. But we have a formal event coming up and I am sure it would come in handy with my strapless dress.
I use fashion tape to keep my fancy dresses in place so I don't have any emergencies or malfunctions.

zaya sail at g mail dot com
What a fantastic giveaway! I'm a big fan of using fashion tape to pin back collars on shirts and sweaters and to keep the end of a belt up. The drapey, natural look is great sometimes, but sometimes I just want to be sharp and polished with everything in place.
elizahamm [at] gmail [dot] com
HFT is very useful. Keeps my modesty intact with low cut/wrap tops & dresses, buttoned shirts and wrap skirts. Lovely giveaway (& I can enter too)!

I NEED the Hip Huggers. I recently lost some weight, and although my pants fit in the hips, they are seriously gaping in the back.
papercrane2004[at]gmail[dot]com
I've used fashion tape to make a collar sit the way I want it to, and to keep wrap dresses from gaping. The best use, though, is taping really wide necklines to my bra strap so I don't look like Flashdance at work!

hiphugger thing GENIUS omg NEED
fashion tape: good for making sure a surplice neckline isn't in fact completely open-front IRL.

I use it to keep one of my wrap dresses from exposing my bra. I should also note that I have tried the cheaper stuff and there is NO COMPARISON, HFT is the bomb diggety. boombatty at hummingrose dot com
I use fashion tape to hold down my collars...I like the wiiiide 70's collar look :)

I've been lusting after their Hip Huggers for ages - my curvy proportions mean I can rarely find pants that will stay up without a belt, and yet sometimes I don't want a belt visible under a longer top!

I would use fashion tape to make flippy collars behave themselves.
I just discovered your give away page, pretty exciting.

I would use fashion tape to keep collars folded down like they ought to be. It drives me crazy when they pop up.

I haven't used it yet either, but I'd love to try taping the collar out when layering a shirt and vest-- I feel claustrophobic with the shirt collar hugging too close!

I've given various kinds and incarnations of this stuff to women friends in England, France and GErmany -- and always have to take more! I love, love the accessory dots for holding blouses closed at the gaps. Have used the regular stuff to hold bra straps in place under a sheath dress, hold a scarf artfully draped, do an emergency repair on pants hems that came unraveled, hold a lapel on a lightweight jacket in place and, of course, to keep tops from revealing too much. This is a great product! Great women owned business...and they are Minnesotans! Thanks for this giv away! sjmars2006[at]yahoo[dot]com
