How to tape your boobs for a wedding dress

If you’re special day coming up soon? Are you wondering how to mesmerise your loved one and your guests with the perfect feminine silhouette with zero straps, visible bra backs, and other undesired bra components?

We have some good news for you – breast tapes are just what you need.

In the following sections, we explore how to tape boobs for a wedding dress, covering some of the most popular brides dress designs. 

Backless wedding dress

If you’re looking to tape breasts for a wedding dress in a backless design, don’t worry – it’s very easy with backless dress tape.

Position one end of each strip on the lower outer edge of your breast, pulling it upwards and towards the centre to lift and support your breasts. Repeat the process with additional strips, slightly overlapping them for full coverage and support.

Secure the ends of the tape firmly to your skin, avoiding any wrinkles or gaps for a smooth and seamless look.

We offer a step-by-step guide on how to tape breasts for a backless dress in a separate detailed article. 

Strapless wedding dress

Regardless of whether you’ve selected a bandeau style dress with a closed or open back or a corset design for your big day, strapless breast tape is the right choice for any strapless style. 

Just as with any other strapless dress, you’ll need strips of breast tape that are around 7-10 cm long. 

Position one end of each strip on the lower outer edge of your breast, placing the strips horizontally across the lower portion of the breasts to provide lift and support. 

Make sure the tape extends to the top edge of the dress to eliminate any chances of slippage or shifting throughout the special day. 

For a more detailed overview of the process, we invite you to read our separate article on how to tape breasts for a strapless dress. 

Deep V or plunging wedding dress

For a plunging wedding dress with a deep V, you’ll need to use a combination of breast tape and adhesive cups for maximum results. 

Start by applying strips of tape vertically along the outdoor edges of your breasts, pulling them inwards to create a lifted and cleavage-enhancing effect. 

Place the silicone cups over your nipples to provide additional coverage and smoothness under the dress.

One-shoulder or off-the-shoulder dress

If you’ll be shining bright like a diamond with a one-shoulder or an off-the-shoulder dress, applying boob tape to your wedding dress will look completely different 

Start by applying strips of tape horizontally across the lower partition of the breasts, extending from one side to the other to create lift and support. 

Use extra strips to secure the top edge of the dress to your skin, making sure it stays in place during the entire day. 

For such dress designs, think about using adhesive cups on the exposed shoulder to provide an extra layer of support and coverage. 

Wedding dress with sheer panels or lace

Lastly, if you hope to tape breasts for a wedding dress with sheer panels or lace, start by applying strips of tape horizontally across the lower portion of your breasts, as you would for a strapless dress.

Use smaller strips of tape to secure the edges of the sheer panels or lace to your skin, ensuring they lay flat and smooth against your chest.

Tips for a flawless wedding day look

Understanding how to tape boobs for a wedding dress is just part of the equation. 

There are a combination of other things to consider for a flawless wedding day look.

Plan in advance

One of the best ways to feel confident and comfortable on your big day is to have an exact idea of what you can expect when it comes to your appearance. 

We highly recommend trying on different wedding dress styles with breast tape to be able to imagine what you can expect on the special day.

Once you’ve selected the dress, attend the fittings with breast tape specifically applied based on its design. 

Before the day itself, make sure that you’ve performed a patch test to make sure that the breast tape won’t irritate or harm your skin. 

Choose the perfect breast tape colour based on the dress and your complexion

Another key point to consider is the colour of the tape. 

To achieve full invisibility and a completely natural look, it’s essential that the colour of the breast tape is nearly identical to your skin tone.

The good news is that reliable breast tape providers will have a rich catalogue, featuring a range of colours and shades for you to choose from. 

Breast tape alternatives

Keep in mind that breast tapes are not the sole solution you can rely on for your wedding day.

A range of wedding dresses fit perfectly with adhesive bras – a reliable alternative to the traditional bra that comes in the shape of separate or connected adhesive cups that provide lift and support.
