I tried two styles: the Le Lusion bra, and the deep U-plunge strapless backless bra. (Though for some reason I’m fine immortalizing it on the Internet, in service of all of our boobs.) The Le Lusion Bra Review (For A D+ Cup)įirst up, the stick-on bras. In short, this is not a look I’d gladly go out in public in. The dress is pulling really wide at the top, and the waist is… well, it’s not good. This is what the dress with no boob support at all looks like. WHAT NO BRA LOOKS LIKEīecause we’re scientists (of boobs), we had to start with a control. And we also tested to see how form-fitting a dress could be before the Gaffer Tape would show. Then we tested out two different tape patterns for Gaffer Tape: one for a deep-plunge backless dress, and one for a strapless backless dress. First, we tried out two of those stick-on bras (I would test more for you, but it became very clear it was pointless). Well, till now, because now it’s gonna be Kim and me on the Internet with boob tape bras… forever (and these images will stay, because we love you like that).Īfter wearing Gaff Tape at the wedding (it worked like a charm), and y’all asking me to share more details, we whipped up a little test in the APW laboratories. (I mean, Kim is notorious for rocking whatever she wears, wherever she goes.)īut as it turns out, while a few people have tested out the Gaffer Tape trick (and Buzzfeed has a great article demonstrating how it works on a variety of cup sizes- too bad the images are gone from that post, now), only Kim Kardashian was willing to show the world how it looked (and worked) on her actual boobs. (And not just because I’m a theatre major who’s used Gaff tape to stick down any number of cords to the floor and to spike any number of stages.) A quick google search of Gaffer Tape Bra, lead me to “Kim Kardashian’s boob tape trick,” and I immediately knew it was go-time, and this would be the answer to all my worries. I solved it by ordering a pile of stick-on bras and fashion tape from Amazon, and then having a screen pop up that said, “People who ordered these things also ordered flesh-colored Gaffer tape.” And in one SECOND, I knew why. I’d like to say that I solved the problem with my in-depth googling skills and stylist connections. Had someone finally made a more fashion appropriate-or at least in-a-variety-of-flesh-tones-version of this product? Was this idea totally bonkers? I work in a fashion adjacent industry, WHY DIDN’T I KNOW THE ANSWER? So last month, I kept circling around this idea. I feel like the story should end here, with, “And I really don’t recommend it,” but it was more or less fine. So with my theatre kid ingenuity, I dug up some Duct Tape and… Duct Taped my boobs. I’d bought the ’90s version of a stick-on bra, and even for my at-the-time B cup, they were a total last-minute fail, and I needed support. If it didn’t work at the last minute, THEN WHAT?īut I kept circling back to what happened when I was getting ready for prom. The week before the wedding, I kept looking at the stick-on bra box and feeling panicked. I gotcha covered… more details on that below.) (Spoiler alert: They don’t really, but boob tape just might. But for some reason, even though I know better, I let myself be seduced by the idea that stick-on bras really work for busty ladies. The only issue is that I’m in the range of a D(+) cup, and after two pregnancies and two rounds of nursing, my boobs no longer defy gravity. In some flush of optimism, I picked a strappy dress with a plunging neckline. Last month, I was in a family wedding (mostly as a child wrangler, but still).
