Best way to keep strapless tops & dresses in place?....?

I have some really cute strapless dresses & tops, but as all ladies know, strapless equals a constant battle with gravity. And I always have a problem with the edge of my top or dress folding into my strapless bras. I am small-framed with a small chest, so there's definitely not much that 'naturally' holds my top or dress up, if you know what I mean. And I definitely can't go completely bra-less. I've considered the little adhesive bra 'petals', such as what Frederick's of Hollywood offers, but feel like they would appear to flatten my chest, which I don't want. Or maybe the self-adhesive backless, strapless 'bras' also, but am unsure of how natural the look would be. I've also considered, & am leaning towards, getting the little clothing adhesive tapes, to hold my top or dress in place. Ladies, any thoughts/suggestions would be SO much appreciated. Thanks so much!

1. Mastectomy is the solution.
2. wig tape works. Bumper Crop, be sensible - that would mean that she had even less to hold her dress up!
3. I don't really wear strapless but my sister does. I think the clothing adhesive tape would be your best bet. I've heard a lot of people recommend it and I hear it works well.
4. I am in a similar situation, but I really almost always just go braless (why not?). I have tried the two-sided tape, and it can work, but it is uncomfortable. Now I just have any strapless dresses I buy taken in by my seamstress so they stay up.
5. i suggest getting measured for a good strapless bra and take one of your tops with you when trying them on that way you will get a better idea, and buy a nude colour that way it will go with every colour of dress or top you have. good luck
6. Clothing adhesive tape for the material.
7. Use fashion tape or double-sided tape. Personally, I'd use double-sided tape. Cheaper, and a lot more useful in the long run.
8. The stick on "chicken cutlets" that hook together in the front really work.
9. try pulling it up in the bathroom where no one will c u- and just give it a good tug, and keep your arms down- your arms will hold the dress to your body- and don't worry about it- or else everyone else there will know, and sry, but probubly laugh
