When Our Curves Need Some Extra Assistance

Ever purchased that little black dress that would hug all the right and WRONG places?? This introduces Shapewear to our wardrobe. I believe that using shapewear is not based off size; its determined by the type of dress worn. There are many formed fitting dresses that women love to wear but, sometimes we need that extra reinforcement to provide even more confidence in wearing that little black dress. I would like to share some tips and websites where you ladies can "INVEST" in a good shapewear or body shaper when its time to step out in showing off your curves. Also an FYI its nobody's business in knowing what you are wearing to make that dress look fabulous on your body. Shapewear is one of those things we keep to ourselves as far as when we are out on the town. No one is going to say, "girl where did you get that shapewear?" Shapewear should not be frown upon because even the smallest women will wear some reinforcement just to make that dress look and feel smooth on their body. First, I would like to mention that there are some shapewears that will cost you a pretty penny and does wonders with smoothing out those lines on your body. Remembering this blog is about looking fabulous in everything you wear while not burning a whole in your pockets.

The first place I would like to mention is good ole' Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart carries a brand of shapewear that I myself have purchased in white and black. Sweet Nothings High Waist Briefs This shapewear hides and smooths my stomach area and is a brief so if you are wearing a dress or skirt that stops above the knee the shapewear will not show. I stand by this shapewear and this one only cost me $12; now you cannot beat that. Plus, I have no problems with this rolling down while I am moving and grooving.

Another shapewear or more on the lines of a corset, waist cincher, or waist band that I have tried and is not too bad is the Squeem Perfect Waist. The Squeem Waist Band I purchased from Hour Glass Angel for about $55. It does a GREAT job in reducing inches off my midsection and my posture was a lot better than without it on. The only problem I had I think this is for the BIG BOOTY JUDYs out there is it rolled up from the bottom. So, there were some bunches in my back that would not go down as long as I have booty. LOL! That much I cannot help. However, there are a lot more shapewears to chose from on their website that would more beneficial. 

Another miracle worker on your body is the MiracleSuit. I have done some research and heard from  another Fashion Blogger that the MiracleSuit works a miracle and great news Macy's has a sale going on right now for their different types of shapers to fit your needs. Here is the link to Macy's sale for the MiracleSuit. While I am on the subject of body shapers I would like to also mention ladies also need reinforcement in wearing certain bras to help give great back support and make sure the ta-tas are sitting up rather nice. I just purchased a couple of bras from  Torrid Lingerie which also is having a great sale going on right now. I went into their store and a lovely lady by the name of Yolanda located at the Cary, NC store helped measure me and man o man! I was shocked...lol I was just amazed that Torrid carries my size for the girls. The support and look of their bras are just perfect. They have a Buy One Get One 50% off  sale and, some selected bras $10 off and when you spend over $50. Then you are awarded $25 in Haute Cash that can be redeemed on any purchase at a later date. This bra works wonders!!!!! I am in love. I have also found some good bras even at Wal-Mart although its a treasure hunt but I am sold on Torrid!

I surely hope this post helps you in making your next decision on shopping for shapewear and other reinforcement for the everyday woman. I live by these things and they come in handy when I am ready to rock that dress that hugs me in all the right places; especially when I know I have some extra assistance on me. Until next time Be Good, Be Fly, and Shake Your Tail Feather.
