Quick and easy fashion fixes
Need a fix? An emergency fashion fix we mean. It happens to all of us at one time or another. You're running to a meeting and you snap a heel. Or you're at a wedding when you notice the hem of your dress has fallen. It seems like wardrobe malfunctions always occur at the most inconvenient times. Just ask Janet Jackson.
Here, we list the top 10 tips for solving your own fashion emergencies.
Make-up stains
Quick - find a baby! Okay, so you can't hold someone's baby the whole night to cover up a make-up stain. But you can use baby wipes to remove or reduce make-up stains on clothing. They also come in handy for removing lint from clothing and dirt from shoes.
Fallen hems
For a make-do hem in a hurry, use short pieces of masking tape or duct tape to fix a fallen hem. Lighting professionals and musicians usually use duct tape or gaffer's tape for their equipment, so locating some at an event shouldn't be tough to do. On a side note, toupee tape can also come in handy for this problem ‑- but good luck finding someone who will admit to having it on them.
Falling bra straps
There's nothing more annoying than having to keep pulling up your bra straps. Double-sided tape or duct tape can fix that problem in a hurry. Use a small safety pin to fix a broken bra strap.
Tights runs
A small run in your tights can soon develop into a full fledged tear. Use clear nail polish to stop a run in its tracks. Hair spray is another good short-term solution.
