This is the place to solve your innerwear issues by consulting Fit Expert Marianne Gimble. 

Born in the small northeastern town of Heudicourt Sous Les Cotes in the French countryside, Marianne Gimble never imagined that one day she would apply her detail-oriented mind to helping women support their bodies through shape-enhancing intimate apparel.  When Marianne moved to New York City to attend college she was intent on becoming a general practice physician and boasted a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

Then fate, and love, intervened when she met Richard Gimble, who followed his father’s footsteps into the intimate apparel industry and, with Marianne by his side, founded Va Bien International Inc. in 1979.  Today, the Gimbles preside over a respected shapewear brand that has won faithful followers the world over with its combination of expert craftsmanship, elegant French styling and technical ingenuity.  Marianne oversees product design and serves as Va Bien’s shapewear fit expert, interacting with consumers, retail buyers and the media on behalf of the Company.

Marianne has most recently appeared on the TV shows EXTRA and Sonoran Living.  She is all about supporting women, so let her help you feel more comfortable in a bra, body briefer, or whatever foundation you need for that new dress!
