9. Double Sided Tape Clothing Hack
Blouses that gap between buttons can be tamed with double sided tape! You can use permanent double sided tape or for a better grip you can purchase Hollywood Fashion Tape that is made specifically for this purpose. Removable double sided tape will NOT hold. Simply place the tape in between the buttons wherever you experience a gap (as shown in the picture below). Just be sure to remove the tape before throwing your garment in the washer and dryer! The sticky residue will adhere itself to your clothing in the dryer. Permanent double sided tape may leave a sticky residue on your clothing, so it’s wise to test it first in an inconspicuous area before using.
10. Sweater Pill Razor Hack
Any pills on flat clothing can easily be removed with a disposable razor. Lay your garment on a flat surface and using a disposable razor simply shave the the pills right off! I don’t recommend this technique on sweaters but it works great on sweatshirts and other tight knits.

For button gaps, would it be better to use velcro, instead of constantly changing the tape?
I think that’s a great idea!
I find that shirts with a buttonhole that goes straight up and down tend to give a gap nore so than a buttonhole that goes sideways, so I don’t buy shirts with straight up and down buttonholes
These are great tips! My only concern is the razor to get rid of pilling. Wouldn’t that wear out the fabric faster?
If you’re concerned at all, I wouldn’t do it. However, if it’s a choice between giving away the sweatshirt/sweater or trying the razor method I’d recommend giving it a go.
I have done this trick for years and it works great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by!
Really helpful. Love these tips
I have a love/hate relationship with sweatshirts and sweaters because they pill after a couple of washes. I am so glad to see a fix for that! Thank you for sharing these tips, I’ll definitely have to try them out!
You’re so welcome!
You show using a paperclip to put on a bracelet, but you can also use a large safety pin. Just pin it right to the bracelet clasp and then un-pin once clasped. Use the paperclip to hide your bra straps. Good tips!
I love these tips! The bra strap tip is such a great one. I’ve used the clips in the back before but never in front. Thanks so much for putting together a great list!!
You’re welcome Julie! I’m so glad you found the tips helpful. 🙂
For the shirt gap I hav always just safety pinned it .But will try tape.
I’ve found that the permanent tape or the Hollywood Tape Strips are the only kind of tape that sticks. Removable double-sided tape is useless and will not hold. The problem with the sticky stuff is that it can leave a residue on some fabrics and WILL definitely leave a residue if washed and dried on the fabric. I would test it first in an inconspicuous spot before use.
I love the waist extendet tip with the hair tie and the other tips. Great ideas. Thanks.
Thanks for visiting Mary!
I’m super busty and have found sewing up the button shirt in the front and treating it as a pullover is the greatest trick. I can’t wait to try the shoe one!
Great idea! I do this, too. Even with nightgowns that have buttons down the front. Sewing them up and slipping over the head works so well.
I found most all of these very helpful. Especially liked the bracelet tio!
I’m glad you found them helpful! Thanks for visiting Teri. 🙂

I found this review helpful and great.
So thanks for you’re great blog and have a nice day 🙂
Me too! I just sew them up and slip over my head. Then there are no mishaps…hahaha
Great idea!
