When I post form fitting styles on Gal Meets Glam, like herehere and here, I’m always asked how I get such a smooth, seamless look. After all, there is nothing worse than putting on a new outfit, only to find that undergarments and every tiny imperfection is showing through. To take the mystery out of what I wear underneath it all, I’m sharing with you my 4 ‘secret weapons’ – stretch shorts, pasties, wardrobe tape, and bra strap clips. Each accessory helps to create a ‘no show’ effect in a simple, comfortable, affordable way.

  1. Stretch Shorts – I actually have two I prefer – these Comando ones, and these Spanx ones, both in a natural tone. They work great under fitted dresses, skirts and slacks, as well as light colored clothing. I wear them with more sheer items like this cream skirt or dresses like this one that require some sort of slip, etc. 
  2. Breast Petals – I’ve used these for years under strapless, spaghetti strap, and silky tops and dresses. Natural looking, easy to use and comfortable. There are also brands that offer different colors, and even small silicone covers.
  3. Wardrobe Tape Strips – These small gems are a must-have. They gently adhere to the skin and clothing to keep everything in place. They work great to prevent gaps with very low-cut tops or between buttons on a blouse, to hold up a strapless dress, or to keep bra straps in place.
  4. Bra Strap Clips – These little gadgets can transform a regular bra into a racerback style to prevent bra straps from showing.
