In recent years, fashion brands have incorporated a couple of silicone or fabric strips into several of their pieces, which many people do not know their function. Most people tend to cut these straps that are placed in the armpit or just in the back.
These strips are designed to be able to hang the piece on the hanger more comfortably and prevent it from falling. But it would also have another use according to a TikTok user, who has managed to viralize a video in which she shows what other use can be given to these tapes that are not decorative.
The tiktoker Eva Bicerra has published a half-minute clip where she shows how she uses the straps so that the clothes fit her body better. She tries it on with a dress, a cropped top, and a cardigan to make it clear that her trick works with multiple items of clothing.
In the video, which has more than 225,000 likes and more than 1,120 comments, Eva simply takes the two straps and ties them at the back so that they stay attached and fit the piece, achieving a much more stylish and practical result. since the strips are camouflaged inside.
A use that has made its thousands of followers react, who have been amazed by the use of these strips that most of them cut when they get home. “In themselves they are to secure the clothes on the hooks when hanging them, but you gave him a very good second option,” says one of his followers.
Others have also written: “I had no idea what they were for”, “It’s a good trick”, “You’ve fixed my life” or “Me looking at this great discovery at 40 years old”.
