Underwear

I think every body shapes are beautiful and should be celebrated. However, if you have certain part, or parts, of your body that you want to hide forget surgery, invest in super underwear/shapewear instead.

Here are the following five main undergarments (refer to image on the left):

 

1) This tight singlet top "flattens the tummy, smoothes the back and enhances the bust" (Harrington 2008, 104).

 

2) The body slip "firms the thighs while working to trim the waist and flatten the tummy" (Harrington 2008, 104).

 

3) The bodysuit will "streamline the tummy and midriff" (Harrington 2008, 104).

 

4) The shorts  "slim your hips, thighs and tummy" (Harrington 2008, 104) and can boost your behind (Feldon 2000).

 

5) This high-waisted brief "slim your silhouette around the waist and hips...[and] great for minimising your tummy" (Harrington 2008, 104). 

 

Body shapers can be found in Bras N Things and I am sure you can also find them in  other stores that sell undergarments.

Q: What is your secret fashion (on the body or face eg. lipstick) weapon?

 

For me is pair of not-so-high heels. Beside it adding a bit to my height, given that I am kind of short, it makes my outift look, and me feeling, chic and they will still be comfortable after a long day.
