Where can I buy this? I am off to a wedding next week and I am wearing a lovely dress which is a wee bit low cut and I don't want to have a Janet Jackson moment if the fabric shifts too much. -------------

How does the Hollywood Tape work?? I have been told that I need to have some form of "support" under my wedding dress for my boobs, even though I'm pretty small in that area, but with the cut of the dress it narrows down my options considerably...I looked at a U Bra which doesn't work, the stick on bra cup things (also from Bras n Things) but they are too wide and would show on either side of the fabric over my boobs, and MIL thinks I should get the Abracadabra thing but I don't want to as it's not about shape, or increasing the size, it's mainly just the support I need to give them a bit of a "perky" look.....would the Hollywood Tape do this??
Sorry for the novel

No, hollywood tape just holds the fabric in the place you want it too.
Now one that that I did learn in my bodybuilding days.... is that insulation (or any of the same type of tape, not cellotape .. its not sticky enough) tape will lift your boobies .. you just hold the breast in place and run the tape from under the breast (which will lift) and over the breast and end the tape on the top area. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Oh and on a side note .. the abracadabra thing .. doesnt really make you bigger as such (although it will kind of fill out the bottom half of your boobies).
Ive also got one of those if you want to try it out .. I wont use it for some time to come now I have baby boobies, so I can send that down to you if you want to have a go. (I was a size 10 when I purchased it) ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

I just went to the shop next door and had a look at the Abracadabra thing...stick on boobs and that may be my only option, although I wouldn't be able to use the clip in the middle which kind of reduces the effectiveness as such...the boob part is like this dress but there's a bigger gap in the middle as it's two completely separate pieces of material. Kinda hard to explain LOL

Yeah it is - my dress is a mix of that one (boob part only) and the Greta (from under the boobs and down) 
I never looked - how do they size the Abracadabra, is it based on cup size?? |

Yep I actually think they are .. so mine would be too big for you (I would have been a b-c cup).
Id have to look at the box at home, but from what I can see on the website, you purchase according to a cup size. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

I've got a spare pack of the hollywood tape too. Bought it for my wedding dress last year but went without a bra in the end.
I love that jane yeh dress. I tried one on but it made me look like a pillowcase full of door knobs lol. Have to be pretty little to get away with that design!@! ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Farmers have Hollywood tape. And they also have a cheaper version which is the same just not called "Hollywood tape." There was a stand next to the counter in the lingerie department, they have all sorts of things like nipple covers etc, comes in pink packaging. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

| Dana - that's the funny thing about my dress (which is actually like the Greta, just the bodice from that one up there).... the difference being the rouching is on an angle rather than straight across. I tried it on ONLY to reinforce my opinion to the ladies with me that it wouldn't suit me - I am a pear shaped size 10/12 with the classic hips combined with only being 154cm, or 5'1 and a half!!! - as it was VERY fitting and sort of mermaid shaped....I tried on a HUGE amount of dresses afterwards and none compared. So the sexy fitting dress it is hehehe |
