Flatter your Figure: Shapewear That Really Works
From teenage years throughout most adulthood, choosing the correct undergarments can prove to be a challenge that most women have to endure. Comfort, fit and style are all components to finding the right shapewear to handle your most irritating body concerns. Although plastic surgery has become a more popular alternative, there are easier and less-expensive options to reduce your bust and waistline.
Bra Basics
Knowing your measurements can be half the battle when searching for the right body shaper. In a recent article, Bali marketing director Vicki Seawright stated that, “85 percent of women are wearing the wrong bra size.” To know your actual size, you must measure your bust. Intimate apparel websites can guide you in the process. If you measure anywhere between a C to DDD cup, “Shop Etc.” executive editor Charla Krupp reccommends Olga’s Perfect Fit Seamless Lightly Line Bra Minimizer. It visibly reduces bust size and adds shape.
Figure Fixers
Identifying your body type is a key factor in choosing a shaper that will work. Shapers come in a variety of styles such as briefs, shorts and waist cinchers. Reality-star-turned shapewear-designer Jill Zarin created Skweez Couture which offers targeted compression to smooth unflattering areas and reduce body size. For busty body types, Flexees Ultimate Slimmer Unlined Minimizer Body Briefer will decrease the bustline a full size while reducing the waistline. If curvy or full-figured, an ideal option is Maidenform’s Easy Up Body Briefer because it provides firm control from waist-to-thigh and streamlines the figure.
Top Alternatives
Bra tops and camisole shapers are tank top-like undergarments that can make a major difference in how the upper body looks. When choosing these bra alternatives, Maidenform’s Director of Design, Catherine Shannon states, “There are amazing minimizers available today that can provide a slimming effect by reducing the bustline.”The Ultimate by Shapeez is a slimming undergarment that shapes the breasts, flattens the torso and smoothes back bulges. Camisole shapers like the Cami-lot Lace Shaper Top by Skweez Couture minimizes the figure and looks amazing worn alone or under a blazer.
Dress Code
Slip and dress bodyshapers can play an essential role when getting dressed up. They come in a variety of styles that are virtually undetectable under skirts, dresses or gowns. Shapewear by Spanx is a cult favorite among red carpet celebrities for wearing under their gowns. “The right shapewear will help you feel pulled in, smoothed out, and give you a boost of confidence and understated elegance to your style.” says celebrity stylist Jenn Rade. A shapewear staple is Yummie Tummie’s best-seller, the Lavonne Bustless Slip because it sculpts the middle giving the appearance of a slimmer, more even toned body.
