Wedding season is here! You can probably relate to the endless search for the perfect dress to wear to the wedding. Plus, the search doesn’t stop there, does it?! After you find the dress, you have to make sure it has matching heels and accessories. Last and most important, you better have the perfect shape-wear to go underneath– everything from strapless bras to seamless undies.

Im the summer months, I like to wear dresses that are little more fitted and are either strapless or have an interesting neckline. It’s simply down to these looking the most flattering on my body. When you have a dress with a  non-standard neckline, finding undergarments that nip and tuck, while still being breathable can be a unique challenge. I will usually wear shape-wear whenever I wear formal dresses. They do give me a nice shape, but will typically become rather uncomfortable after a few hours. However, I have found a solution that is breathable, maintains comfort and forms my body perfectly!

Say Hello The Perfect Shapewear!

I am so grateful to have been introduced to the Maidenform Firm Foundations Waist Nipping Brief. When I first opened the package, I loved that the waist shaper had hooks and eye closure up the front for easy on and off wear. Not only did it provide tummy solution, but also provided back smoothing. It smoothed any slight bulges and visible lines for a sleeker silhouette. Thank you! The fabric also keeps me cool and comfortable – which isn’t usually the case with these types of shape-wear. If you’re wondering…”How do I use the lady’s room with this?.” Well it’s easy actually! You simply unclip the hooks underneath. No need to take completely on and off every time. Perfection, particularly when you are running from meeting to meeting all over the city.

How Else I Wore The Waist Nipping Briefs This Past Weekend

I wear the waist nipping briefs from 9am to 11pm (they had a 10am wedding) and was comfortable the entire day & night! In fact, I loved the way it made my body look, that I wore it with my white shorts the following day. The thing I loved most (besides the shape it gave me), was that it didn’t give me any panty lines. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves when wearing undergarments. My shape-wear MUST look seamless and effortless!

What else I loved about the shapewear

Since I wear a lot of lighter colors and materials in the summer, I opted for the nude briefs. They are also also available in black. They fit true to size(I have a small). So don’t worry about needing to order two or three sizes to make sure they fit properly.

Post Baby Problems

Since having Sebastian, my body has gone through a series of changes. I’m sure I’m not alone. My waistline is wider and just overall, I’m much more round in my mid-range than I was prior to Sebastian. Recently when wearing tradition shape-wear, it created the illusion of a thick line across my waist. It was no illusion and looked really strange. That is why I had traditionally have worn flowey dresses to avoid these types of misfortunes.

The Maidenform First Foundation Waist Nipping Briefs made me feel comfortable and confident the entire night. I was getting a lot of compliments me on my dress. Little did they know, in order to look that good, I had a little help from my friends at Maidenform. As a new mom, I just haven’t been able to get back to the gym regularly. People always tell me that I look great after having Sebastian, but I certainly don’t always feel that way. My body has changed and I simply haven’t taken the time out for myself to get back into really good shape. It was nice to feel “tucked in” wearing the Maidenform First Foundation Waist Nipping Briefs. When you need that little extra security and comfort, you now have a partner to make you look and feel great!
