But we do like to be svelte. And I'm making a lot of great svelte dresses that perhaps need a bit of structure at times. I've often looked at my daggy undies and thought they should be tighter but not THAT tight and I detest the g-string and don't want to go nudie underneath. I don't mind a bit of visible panty action on a bottom, but perhaps I need a little tummy tucking at the same time.
So, I've found some things (that may not all be available here in Australia but online nonetheless) that help you in the svelte department...
Here's the original Spanx, the one I like anyways,
And this one is not really a dress or a skirt, kinda a high waisty thing, I think it's a TC Wonderful thing:
And that's kinda my fave at the moment, since I don't really wear strap less, but need more hugging on all my loving bits.
But if you'd like to browse a proper review (rather than just my blah blah blahs) The Chic Fashionista has put together a what's what kinda thing with loads of pictures.
Our internerd has been down again, so I feel a bit out of the loop with things! I've had to put the sewing on hold as a guest from Melbs arrives for a night, but I'm practically on holidays now, so Yippee! It's such a gorgeous day here in Sydney, so hoping the weather remains lush to spend the weekend with Husbie and Doggie Darling! Cute!
Have you tried control top stockings?? Often that is enough just to keep the tummy bits nice and flat. If you'd rather have a bare leg look, you can cut the legs off and just use the tops! A cheaper option because Spanx are sooo expensive :(
