These triangular pieces of fabric, available to blend in with everything from casual to bridal wear, are attached to clothing using removable, double-stick adhesive strips. Designer Lisa Leitch explains her inspiration, "It's often too hot or too bulky to wear another shirt underneath, and I was tired of safety pins ripping my garments. I always saw my blouses as missing a piece in the cleavage area . . . so I made the missing piece!"

Velcro straps attach this flat piece of fabric to the bra straps at the top, and the fabric is then tucked underneath the bra band below the bust to stay in place. A swimwear option is offered that must be sewn into the swimsuit to stay in place in the water.
