How to tape breasts for a backless dress?

Backless dresses are a popular choice of outfit that can make you feel confident, beautiful, and the star of the night. They’re a go-to option for glamorous events, like weddings, shows, and parties.

But despite their appealing nature, there’s one popular challenge when wearing a backless dress – choosing the right bra.

Say goodbye to your worries and hello to breast tape.

In the following sections, we take you on a journey to how to use boob tape for backless dresses.

How to tape breasts for a backless dress: Step-by-step guide

Breast tape is one of the most comfortable, delicate, and superior ways to shape your breasts and achieve the silhouette you’re looking for without a bra.

Getting started is easy, however, you’ll need all the help you can get when styling your tape for a stunning backless dress.

We offer step-by-step guidance on achieving the perfect look.

Preparation steps

Before you can move on to the actual application, it’s key to get your materials ready and prepare for the process

Step 1: Get your materials ready

What you’ll need is a high-quality breast tape with a reliable adhesive. Although some prefer to use gaffer tape and medical tape, breast tape is specifically designed to cater to the needs of the delicate skin around the breasts. In addition, the adhesive is precisely selected to guarantee durability and reliability throughout the day or night.

In addition, you’ll need scissors to cut individual tape strips according to your needs.

Step 2: Clean your skin

Next, make sure that your skin is free from any lotions, creams, or oils. Even excess natural body oils can limit the capabilities of the adhesive, making it impossible to apply the breast tape onto the skin.

Gently wash with mild soap and dry the skin before application.

Step 3: Do a patch test

Before fully applying the breast tape, we recommend performing a patch test, especially if this is your first time using breast tape.

A patch test will help you confirm that your skin isn’t too sensitive to the tape. It will also show if there are any reactions to the adhesive, which you may want to avoid in the long term.

Cut a small piece of breast tape and gently apply it to the skin. Let the tape sit for around an hour. Check the skin for any redness, irritation, itching, swelling, and other side effects. If you notice any reactions, it may be best to choose a different tape, or perhaps your skin is too sensitive to permit the use of breast tape.

Application steps

Once you’ve completed the preparation steps, you’re ready to move on to the application.

Here’s how to tape your breasts for a backless dress.

Step 4: Use nipple covers

Nipples are extremely delicate and sensitive. When applying breast tape, we highly recommend using nipple covers to protect them from pain and irritation.

This is especially important during the tape removal process. At the same time, it’s advisable if you want to achieve a more discrete look with zero nipple visibility.

Step 5: Cut breast tape strips

Next, use the scissors to cut out individual breast tape strips that you’ll be using.

For backless dresses, we recommend using strips that are around 30 cm long. This size will enable a quick and easy application.

If you’re unsure about the exact length, strive to achieve a length that’s around the same as the area from the bottom of your breast to below your shoulder.

Step 6: Start at the base

For best results, we recommend starting at the base of the breast and applying it upwards towards the collarbone.

Start by lifting up your breast with one hand. Peel off the back of the tape to open the adhesive and apply one end just at the base of the breast. As you apply the tape upwards, keep the breast in the place you want it to stay when wearing the dress.

Step 7: Remove wrinkles

When applied incorrectly, breast tape can sometimes create wrinkles. In some cases, they can be quite visible underneath an outfit.

Make sure that all wrinkles are smoothed out.

Where necessary, you can repeat the process to provide more strips and, therefore, more support to the breasts.

Removal

But what happens when the big night or special occasion is over and it’s time to take off the tape?

We offer a detailed overview of how to remove boob tape. In summary, it’s recommended to soak the tape in body oil to help dissolve the adhesive and enjoy a safe and smooth removal.

Approaching breast tape removal aggressively can lead to significant skin irritation, itching, redness, and even swelling. Make sure to follow the steps carefully to enjoy maximum results.
