Fit Guide: Battle of the Bulge

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

It comes as no surprise, America is getting bigger. And as we tighten our belts financially there is a push to tighten the belt physically as well.

There comes a time in every woman’s life, that she must face the three way mirror. This is no laughing matter, some women go out of their way with complicated return and purchase and exchange transactions just to avoid this ordeal! Fear that mirror no more, with a little help and support from a finely engineered piece of lingerie (in the right size of course) you can face that triple threat face on - or back on.

The three way mirror is not like the side mirror on your car, objects are not larger in the three way. I think in fact, it is the multiplicity and angles that make this reflection so hard to take. We don’t see our backs on a daily basis so imagine a woman’s horror one day out of 365 when she heads into the dressing room and can’t even enjoy the beauty of her outfit when she’s faced with not a reflection of her beautiful self but a reflection of VPL and bra bulge! Que horror! True beauty is a reflection of the inside and fitting room mirrors let you know when your undergarments don’t fit, and that’s an easily solved problem.

Instead of dreading the next trip to the store, prepare! Arming yourself with the right undergarments can help you fit into the right size and the dress or suit you’ve been dreaming of will slide on smoothly!

Bulge Buster 1: Operation tummy tuck

So maybe the years, the kids, and the late night runs to the fridge have not been kind to your mid-section. Take a cue from your mother, and don’t think that the knife is the answer. Nature can’t stand up to some of today’s top shapewear.

So arm yourself with a pair of Spanx or two!

Bulge Buster 2: Operation bust must

Whether it’s the back bulge or the double breast, a properly supportive and functional bra can work wonders on your figure and make you feel slimmer and like you had a lift, again without any of that surgery nonsense!

For a look that smooths in the back opt for a ballet back style with a large back band and more supportive construction, this is the best option for a style that won’t cinch in the wrong ways:

Also make sure you’re in a bra that fits right, if you have some bulging along the neckline or it’s digging in, try going up a cup size the next time you purchase a bra. It will make slipping into a slinky dress or top go so much smoother!

Bulge Buster 3: Operation Leg up

It’s no secret that leggings are huge, but a simple pair of control leggings can add lightweight shaping and smoothing and give legs that extra sexy smooth look beneath again a dress or slacks.

Armed with this intimate knowledge I’m sure you’ll take that three-way by storm!
