Bra Talk

Planning a wedding can be stressful and in between purchasing your wedding dress and the actual ceremony, it’s possible to deal with size issues.  Altering your dress at the last minute and some women are finding it beneficial wearing shapewear beneath their dress.

Obviously before you do this, you want to consult the store where you are buying your dress, as well as making sure you know which garment you’re wearing with your wedding dress – for example, Bali bras has a great line of shapewear that provides maximum comfort.   You also want to consider the time of the year and the possible weather conditions (it might not be such a good idea to wear shapewear beneath your dress in the summer, but perfect for fall).

The idea of wearing shapewear doesn’t really conjure up the feeling of comfort, particularly when compared to the examples of the past (girdles and corsets come to mind).  But modern shapewear doesn’t quite have the lung constriction that older models have.

Modern shapewear is designed to maximize comfort and be worn daily for women who desire a certain physical aesthetic.  The material in newer shapewear isn’t as restrictive and some women prefer them over bras and panties.

Visible panty lines can be an embarrassing, particularly if you’re in a professional setting.  There are ways to temper this affliction, such as wearing loose-fitting pants.  Of course, a better way to solve this issue is to wear a thong or a g-string to eliminate panty lines in the back. However, if you find those uncomfortable, consider wearing a slip or pantliner between your panties and garment. If this doesn’t work, consider long-leg style shapewear.

If you’re finding that your underwear is leaving lines on your dress or that you could benefit from a slender look, you may want to consider trying out Bali Shapewear and their Never Ending Thigh Slimmer.

Wearing these should give you a trim appearance while feeling a high level of comfort at the same time.  Give them a try and see if they work for you.

Over the years, shapewear has morphed and evolved into an article of undergarments past the girdle.  Nowadays, the various types of shapewear can suggest the form of a woman’s body.  Here are some quick tips when considering shapewear:

• Always get fitted. Most women are not wearing the correct cup size and underwear size!

• Decide which area is important for you to shape. Some shapewear can feel constrictive at times so find a shapewear that focuses on the area you actually need to shape.

• When buying control top pantyhose do not think it will “control” you more buying a size smaller. These pantyhose are already created to fit snug.

• There are many types of all over shapewear! Try it on this is not a one size fits all situation! It should be snug but you should also be able to breathe.

• When buying shapewear for under a dress try to find a seamless option with no straps and some lycra or extra cup support. Make sure to bring the dress you will be wearing or find one similar at the store to make sure none of the support is showing.

• Shapewear that starts at the waist and goes down to midknee is great for pants- however, most of them leave an awkward “roll” or line if worn under a dress.

• Handwash your shapewear to increase it’s wear and maintain it’s stretch!

• Make sure you are comfortable when trying all of these options on. If you don’t feel comfortable you won’t act comfortable and it will definitely show!

With Mother’s Day drawing closer and closer, now might be a good time to get something for your wife.  If you’ve noticed that her undergarments are worn or that her sportsbra is ready to be replaced, you may want to purchase some elegant bras or shapewear for her.

Barely There, Bali and several other brands are among the most popular today, or you can get her a nice sportsbra if rigorous exercise has rendered hers to be changed.  Let her know that your attention isn’t always on the TV and get her something that would maximize her comfort.

There seems to be this misconception that for plus size women, items such as girdles and corsets are the shapewear items to use.  But that’s not really the case. 

Like Stacy London says, “Wear the clothes that fit your body, not the body you want.”  Luckily, there are numerous brands that manufacture plus size shapewear that doesn’t have to cost you cracked ribs and a general discomfort.

By wearing shapewear that compliments your curves, it will create appropriate contouring on your body.  Wearing certain types of panties will also rid you of the pouch that you’ll get if you try to fit into something that isn’t form-fitting.

Obviously, you’ll have to take the time out and try and see what works best for you, but once you do, you’ll have the great look that you deserve.
