How to not bust out of a button down


Just like me, many of you BBGs out there may have a bone to pick with the button down blouse, a classic article of clothing found in stores like The Gap or The Limited. But to our chagrin, button downs are essential for interviews and at the workplace and have become an important part of the wardrobe. They are classic, versatile and form-fitting. However, unless you are flat chested or rounding the corner of a small B, button downs tend to pull at the cleavage and we find ourselves adding a safety pin into the mix. I saw someone at work doing it the other day and I have even done it myself. Many of my shirts have permanent tiny holes where the safety pins have made a comfortable home over the years.

Well, here's a new tip - try using Hollywood Fashion Tape instead of safety pins. It won't tear a hole or ruin your shirt and no one will be able to tell that you are sealing the girls in with some tape.

If you got to hollywoodfashiontape.com, you can purchase 36 double-sided stick tapes for $8.99. You will have plenty left over for use in other situations, like taping a top or dress to your skin so your boobies don't fall out. It's good stuff!
