Hi Ladies,

I recently received an email from “Jane”, who is shopping for some strapless shapewear to slim down on her son’s wedding day!  (Exciting!!)  Here is an excerpt from her note:

I am long-waisted and need strapless shapewear and can’t tell if one piece would be right; or if a combination of a bustier and body shaper would be better.  I wear a size 12-14 and measure a full bra size 38D by your site instructions.

 Just as I advised Lorie back in March, petite ladies should go for 2-piece shapewear - a bra or bustier and a brief - whereas taller ladies may opt for one-piece bodysuits.  Since Jane is long-waisted, I advised her to go for the bodysuit.

Now, she also needs her foundation to be strapless.  Although she didn’t mention it in her email, I’m sure that she - like all of us - is concerned about her bust when going sans straps at a special event.  There is a litany of potential issues, particularly since she is a full 38D, ranging from simple slippage to the dreaded pop-out!  Her son’s wedding is a day when she is supposed to be standing proud, not worrying about pulling her dress up every 5 minutes.

In turn, I recommended our Style 1570 which will securely hold her D’s high all night thanks to ultra-Lift technology inside the cups.  The bodysuit also features a firm control front panel to tuck the tummy, and cute sheer paneling on the sides for a fashion look.

Hope you enjoy your son’s big day, Jane!

Best,

Marianne
