What Fashion Tape Can Do for Hemming

 

Fearless Fashion tape is a double-sided fabric and clothing adhesive tape that bonds skin to clothes, or clothes to clothes, temporarily.

 

For hemming dresses, Fearless fashion tape helps bond the folded hem and the dress fabric. While other solutions rely on fusible hem webbing or fusible adhesive web for dresses, fashion tape gives you a no-iron, no-sew option.

 

Fashion tape is ideal when you want a temporary dress hem fix or when sewing isn’t practical (like on a time crunch!).

 

 

When to Use Fashion Tape for Hemming Dresses

 

Fashion tape becomes your best bet for any situation where you need a quick, discreet, no-sew/hemming support option. Like:

 

• Temporary Fixes for Events: Weddings, photoshoots, travel, you name it!

• Delicate or Hard-to-Alter Dresses: If a dress doesn’t have visible/accessible seams, or sewing would pose too much of a risk, fashion tape comes to the rescue with security and discreetness.

• Reinforcing Flowy Hems: Chiffon, satin, and silky hems have the potential to collapse or flare unpredictably. Fashion tape gives them structure without stiffness.
