Bonus Extras:
*If you wear heels, use non-slip patches on the bottoms of your shoes.
*If you plan to be on your feet, also use cushions that slip inside your high heels.
* Use double-sided fabric-to-body tape if you need fabric to stay in one place (like a very low cut dress).
*If you wear flats, use gel sole inserts if you plan to be on your feet much of the day.
*Pack extra deodorant and baby powder to help keep you dry.
