But when you bust out your special occasion outfit, you are much more likely to suffer from a wardrobe malfunction... things like nip slips, sore soles, loose hems, stains, etc. Don't worry. I've got you covered with these “Fashion Fix-Its!”
SPANX Spanx are amazing at slimming and trimming your body.
Spanx work wonders at sucking in all your jiggly parts, so you look fabulous in your dress or pant suit. Look for the newest version that connects to your bra so it doesn't roll down under your chest. These should fit comfortably, not so snugly you can’t breathe.
SPANX OR CONTROL TOP HOSEIf you are like me, you have put your dress on over your head AFTER you put your deodorant on and the next thing you know… white marks on your gorgeous silk dress. Do NOT use water or wet down the stains. Simply take your Spanx or the top of your control top pantyhose and rub out the marks. This works like magic…trust me.
TIDE TO GOThese slim, pen-like stain fighters are the perfect size to slip in any bag…even your evening bag… in case you spill a little red wine or cocktail sauce on your dress. Better to be prepared than walk around with an obvious stain that everyone will point out the rest of the evening.
SHOW STOPPERS Show Stoppers is a double stick garment tape that works miracles! There's a reason every celebrity uses it. You can make sure your bra strap stays in place... keep a plunging neckline in check and avoid pulling a Janet Jackson...fix your falling hem...even use it on your waist belt so the extra leather doesn't flop around.
INVISIBELTMany of my clients have purchased this one. It’s fab! Okay, so let's say you are wearing a pantsuit. The pants fit well in the legs, but are a little roomy in the waist. You need a belt, but don't want to add any bulk under your super chic jacket. This is the perfect solution. It's called
Invisibelt. It will cinch your waist, without adding bulk.
SAFETY PINSLet’s say you want to wear a necklace, but it’s just a little too long for the neckline of your holiday dress, or it hangs a little too far in your cleavage. Good old-fashioned safety pins will alter the length of your favorite necklace so you can wear it higher on your chest.
BOOTIGHTS These are genius! Creator Shelby Mason was sick of the problems she had while wearing boots with tights...things like cold, slipping feet, blisters and snags. That's when the idea hit her to create a pair of tights with a built-in sock. Way to go, Shelby! LOVE...
FOOT PETALS Foot Petals makes all kinds of sole saviors, like the "Sole Stopperz" which keep you from slipping in your heels. “Tip Toes,” which add comfort and can adjust the size of your shoe so it fits a bit more snugly, and “Heavenly Heelz,” which protect your heels from blistering and prevent heels slipping out of your shoe.
