Q:  How long will the hold last?

Once put in place, Sticky Straps™ will hold securely all day long!

Q:  Will this product leave behind a sticky residue on the fabric?

A: No. Sticky Straps are not like other household tapes; they were specifically designed for fabric. When removing this particular fashion tape from clothing, there will be no sticky mess left behind, and you can rest assured that the delicate fabric of your bridal gown will not be damaged.

 

Q:  Are they painful to remove? Will they cause skin irritation?

A: Luckily, Sticky Straps not only stick fabric to fabric, but fabric to skin as well.  Specifically made to suit skin, this garment tape is hypoallergenic, transparent and latex free. Although reactions are extremely rare, it is recommend that you sample Sticky Straps before your big day. In the rare case where irritation does occur, you should immediately discontinue use. When removing garment tape from skin you won't have to cringe! They are completely pain free!

 

Q: When would curved tape be useful?

Curved tape is the perfect size and shape to keep your strapless from slipping.  No more quick and unflaterring tug checks or worries that your bra is showing more than your dress, you have Sticky Straps™ keeping your curves covered.

If applying tape to skin, be sure to clean and dry the area thoroughly before use to achieve that long lasting stick!

Q:  What is the most popular use for Sticky Straps?

A:  When people think of Sticky Straps they usually think of holding a spaghetti or bra strap in place, but apparel tape has many uses beyond that. For example, fashion tape can be used to secure plunging necklines, low back dresses, strapless dresses, faulty hemlines, scarves, shawls, garters, collars, shoulder pads, gaping between buttons and much more! Sticky Straps are a quick solution to a multitude of wardrobe malfunctions!

Q:  What types of material will fashion tape adhere to?

A:  One of the greatest things about Sticky Straps is that they offer a strong, yet gentle hold for fabrics. Fashion tape can adhere to a variety of fabrics including silk charmeuse, delicate lace and veils without leaving behind any sticky residue or damage.


Q:  Do Sticky Straps have any uses beyond clothing?

A:  When it comes to fashion tape, feel free to get creative; its uses are endless! On your special day, Sticky Straps could be used to hold a pesky shoe strap, cuff link, belt, various jewelry pieces, such as a chunky bracelet or necklace that won't stay put and the common sliding watch. This product is great for costumes as well!  Sticky Straps can be used to hold whiskers, moles, feathers and masks on disguised faces. It is also very handy for holding sashes, capes, garlands, leotards and tails to costume fabrics.  So, let the fun begin!

Q:  Do men use Sticky Straps apparel tape?

A: Indeed, men have clothing mishaps too! Every groom wants to look sharp for his new bride. Some unexpected problems Sticky Straps could easily solve include curling collars, flipping coat tails, lengthy hemlines, misbehaving handkerchiefs, gaping buttons, problematic cuff links and curling belts. In any of these situations, your guy will feel like quite the proud handyman the moment he has the quick fix of fashion tape!

Q:  If I want to keep my hairpiece in place, could I safely stick them to my hair?

A: No! Sticky Straps have numerous uses, but we do not recommend placing them in your hair. Bobby pins are a much better bet! You can use Sticky Straps on your veil fabric, but do not place them veil to hair. Although fashion tape offers a pain free hold for your skin, the same cannot be said for your hair! If you do place them in your hair, be willing to sacrifice some of that hair by days end!

Q:  Are Sticky Straps strong enough to hold a shoe strap in place throughout the day?

A: It almost doesn't seem possible, but Sticky Straps really are that durable. If the backs of your shoes keeps slipping, place the tape inside your shoe or strap first, then slide your foot into the shoe and press firmly. This will better guarantee that the tape is meeting the correct point on your foot, so that while you are walking about and dancing, both your shoe and the tape will stay comfortably in place.

Q: Why is using garment tape any better than using a safety pin?

 A: Garment tape is far safer than safety pins, despite the name! Safety pins not only lack the discreet transparency of our popular Sticky Straps, but are also far more likely to damage your elaborate wedding garments. Besides, why risk the uncomfortable prick of a pin when garment tape offers a pain free hold?
