A gift and a curse BODYSHAPERS!

Do you remember your grandmother having a “girdle”? You laughed because of the sight. Who’s laughing now? I am sure that you have one or two body shapers in your drawer at this very moment. Body shapers, girdles, SPANX have come a long way through out the years. They even have body shapers for men.

 

Body shapers came in many different shapes, sizes, colors and quiet costly $40 - $120.00. Pretty costly, I have got the cure. You can find a cheaper shaper at Marshalls, Ross, and Burlington Coat Factory from $10 - $20.00. Keep in mind these shapers are not as high maintenance as Spanx, hooks and corset structure. They are more for seamless effects and limit the bulge.

 

Remember:

 

1. • Look for the right shaper for the look you want to achieve. For example: If you have a jersey knit material dress (clings to the body). Purchase the dress body shaper that is open at the legs. This prevents the showing of body shaper imprint on the legs if using the body shaper with the legs.
2. • Purchase the correct size. The last thing you want, YOU PASSED OUT in the floor due to LOSS OF BREATH.

 

Different Types of Shapers:

 

• Once Piece Shaper (with legs) - Full Body Slimming from bust, tummy, hips and thighs. Best when wearing pants, body suits, shorts. Added advice: keeps thighs from chafing (rubbing)
• One Piece Shaper (open bottom) – Full Body Slimming from bust, tummy, hips and thighs. Best for wearing a dress/skirt long or short. Added advice: get the correct length it will rise to you waist when you walk.
• Tank Shaper (tank top) – Slimming the bust avoid bra lines and bulging on the sides and back. Added advice: Make sure get the correct size too small will not show improvements, to large will shift underneath.
• Mid-Section Shapers (fit around the waist with panty bottom) – Slims the tummy. Added advice: Make sure you can breath, if not, it’s too tight
• Bottom Shapers (various types shorts, leggings, panty shape) – These slim the lower belly area, smooths hips, thighs, and lift buttocks. Added advice: make sure you have the right fit the legs will roll up, or restrict circulation.
