Q&A - CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™

Most commonly asked questions about CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™

Q&A

What makes CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ different from other fashion tapes?

Two things: our Easy Pull Backing makes application actually easy (no 10-minute tab-peeling sessions), and we offer two strip sizes in one pack — so you have the right tool for any outfit situation. Plus, it's backed by a brand you already trust.

Is CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ double-sided?

Yes. It adheres skin-to-fabric for keeping garments in place on your body, and can also be used fabric-to-fabric for hem adjustments or layering situations.

What sizes are included?

The pack comes with 60 strips: 40 thin strips (3" x ½") for precision placement like necklines and button gaps, and 20 wide strips (2.5" x 1") for hems and larger surface areas.

Is CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ safe for sensitive skin?

This tape is designed for a serious, strong hold — which means it is not recommended for sensitive skin. We recommend doing a wear-test before extended use. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs, and do not wear for longer than 6 hours.

Can I use CAKES™ Fashion Tape on delicate fabrics like silk or satin?

We recommend testing on a hidden area first. Due to the strong adhesive, this tape may leave residue or cause damage on delicate materials. When in doubt, test before you commit.

How long does CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ hold?

It's designed for a full wear — think weddings, formals, long nights out. We recommend limiting wear time to 6 hours max.

Is CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ reusable?

No — CAKES™ Fashion Tape is single use for best hold and hygiene.

What outfits can I use it with?

The list is long. Plunging necklines, open button-downs, strapless tops, backless dresses, gaping waistbands, uneven hems — if your outfit needs a little persuasion, this tape is it.

What's the difference between CAKES Tape™ and CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™?

CAKES Tape™ is a body tape designed to lift and support your chest — it goes directly on skin to replace a bra. CAKES Fashion & Clothing Tape™ is a double-sided styling tape designed to keep your clothing in place — think necklines, hems, straps, and button-downs. Different tools, same mission: making sure your outfit works for you.

How to Apply

Step 1: Prep

Start with clean, dry, lotion-free skin. Oils and moisturizer will break down the hold.

Step 2: Apply to Garment

Remove the long tab and place the tape on your fabric. Then remove the short tab and press firmly.

Step 3: Attach to Skin

Remove the large backing, press your garment onto your skin, and hold briefly to secure.

Step 4: Secure

Press and hold for a few seconds. The warmth of your skin activates the hold.
