A bargain on price isn’t a true bargain if it leaves you unsatisfied.

3 Tips for Trying on Shapewear

Trying on shapewear before buying it is essential; however, the experience can be frustrating.  Here are three quick tips you can use to make the process a more pleasant and successful one:

Tip #1 – If you aren’t wearing a dress when shopping for shapewear in a department store, grab a nightgown from the sleepwear section before going into the fitting room.  Slipping on a clingy cotton or satin nightie over your shaper will quickly show you whether you’ve chosen the right style and control level.  The mirror will unremorsefully display any lines or bulges that still need to be corrected.  You’ll have the chance to try on several styles until you find the one that does the best job of eliminating those flaws.  This trick also works well when looking for new bras.  Just grab a T-shirt, instead of a nightgown.  Try it on over the bras to see whether it delivers the look you want.  Remember, helping you look good in your clothes is ultimately what intimate apparel is all about.

Many women deal with what they perceive to be their figure flaws by choosing to wear certain outfits that hide them.  That is certainly one way to deal with them.  But that strategy places limits on the kinds of fashions that can be worn.  A better way to deal with figure flaws, while maintaining “fashion freedom,” is to wear the right piece of shapewear.

Shopping for shapewear can be a daunting task.  Have you ever entered the Lingerie Department of your favorite store and felt immediately overwhelmed by the sea of confusion it presented?  Most stores have fixture after fixture laid out in ever-imaginative geometric patterns.  Their merchandise hangs faced-out and side-by-side, sometimes packed together so tightly it’s hard to get a good look at individual pieces.  Bras are often tangled together on their hangers.  Watch out below or you’ll trip on those that have fallen and are lying on the floor!
