As a costumer of TV and Film, Topstick (or fashion tape) is my right-hand man. This double-sided tape will keep a plunging neck-line in place, tame an errant bra strap, or keep a puckering blouse at bay, but it is not your run-of-the-mill adhesive. Originally invented to adhere a man’s hairpiece, Topstick is hypo-allergenic, waterproof, and does not separate when removed. Topstick is the red-carpet secret of any buxom (or not so endowed) hollywood starlet.
There are other versions of the original Topstick, Hollywood Fashion Tape being the foremost, but I always go back to my old friend, Topstick. Unassuming, in its plain yellow box, it is strong, sticky and cheap. I purchase mine at Costume Rentals Corporation in North Hollywood, Ca, but you can order yours online at Manhattan Wardrobe Supply. From 1/2″ to 1″ to curves, they carry any type of Topstick your skimpiest dress could beg for. At $3.75 for a box of 50 strips, this is insurance you will want to purchase.
Oooo…I love Topstick!!! It’s a great to use for low cut blouses or dresses to keep an unwanted “accident” from happening. Thanks for the recommdations of where to buy it!
Never heard of it before we taped you up for your wedding, but go info. I need to get me a dress like that now. 🙂
