Confessions Of A Plus Size Glam-Aholic: Foundation & ShapeWear

As a curvy girl, big girl, plus size woman or whatever you prefer….proper foundations are a MUST! Trust me, Kim Kardashian would not have that BOMB body in her Herve Leger if she didn’t put on her Spanx  honey! Although very perceived as being non-glamorous, my foundations are essential to my wardrobe.  They keep my thighs tucked in and “my love” rolls strapped up, so that my clothes look like the closet thing to perfection on me. Let’s face it, many women do not wear proper undergarments which will ruin any outfit!  For curvy girls our imperfections are easier to identify, so proper undergarments are an essential! If you have not been fitted for a bra in while please do so, it will save your “stylish” life!

Remember when Beyonce’ and her mom Ms. Tina revealed the secret to making her curves look so smooth on ‘The View’? SPANX! 

I personally love the Bodyshaper section of Lane Bryant and I generally get all my foundations, bras, and panties from there. I also snag a steal on “control” from Marshalls and Tjmaxx from time to time. I know a lot of people rave about Body Magic but I figure if I pay a couple racks on it (I’m ghetto..get over it J ), I should be able to wear it all night at the club without having to go the bathroom every 5 mins to pull it off… and breathe!

With that said…I’ll discuss each one of my favorite “support systems’ with you,  all featured are available at Lanebryant.com

Super Shaper™ boyleg body briefer $54.50 control level: medium. Smoothes out your back rolls, eliminates “muffin top” and hides panty lines

Bust It Open open bust cami $39.50 control level: medium. Compatible with any bra, smooths and slims your silhouette and hides that tummy!

SPANX Slimplicity Open-Bust Body Suit $88.00 control level: SUPER! This is my fav ladies! You want a body like Beyonce or Kim Kardashian than you need this! Super control to shape your silhouette from your bust to your thigh! Full coverage!

From what our grandmother’s use to call girdles…we now call “essentials”! And they are not for plus-size girls only anymore! They are for women who understand the importance of a firm canvas for their clothes to drape.

 I encourage all Glam-aholics to try shapewear you will be amazed by the results!

  1. Thanks I will be purchasing one of these for my wedding dress! Thanks!

  2. However, I cannot fir anything in LaneBryant is there another alternative?

    • Nordstrom has a great selection of shapewear and Macy’s

  3. YES! Thank you for posting this Mia. This is a WONDERFUL tidbit of information. The “fluff and stuff” method just isnt comparable to a nice under garment. Yayyy for the “smash and stash”.

  4. @ekiuwa J Nordstrom has a great selection of shapewear and Macy’s

  5. Girl don’t leave home without it! I have the panty, the brief, the boyshort, the ones that come to knee and the ones that come to the ankle.

  6. J.C. Penny’s has shapewear called Flexees that run about $50. It has to be just about as good as Spanx. I have the the whole body shaper and since I have a flabby tummy…they are extremely essential. So, I someone is on a budget budget like me, hit JCP, it worked for me!

  7. ladies also try intimacy in somerset….trust me its worth the trip…they have bra fitting experts in mean experts,,,,

  8. I completely agree that women of all sizes and shapes should invest in foundation pieces. I am a size 6 and spanx (the target brand) have prevented a short dress from rising too much. It is so not sexy to tug on your move something dress all night.

  9. Thanks for the sharing, I was thinking of purchasing Spanx because I always hear everyone raving about them.

  10. Ps. the Spanx POWERPANTY is a must have!
