Shapewear

[rebecca_sia]

Hi everyone,

I was about size 14 and quite heavy bottomed. After about 6 months of dieting, I managed to barely squeeze into a size 12.

Trouble is, no matter how I try, I am still not able to lose my muffin top and the flab around my tummy. Really frustrating coz my photoshoot is NEXT MONTH!!! *hyperventilates

Was thinking if shapewear can save my life now that the date is nearing.

Heard about Spanx & Miraclesuit from USA. Has anyone tried these before? Any reviews? Or are there any other good brands to recommend?

Please please please help!

TIA

Hi, I don't think shapewear can help you slim down that fast. Or trim away the flabs at certain areas. If it does, then be wary that it might risk your health.

I believe it is a combination of factors to lose weight and get good figure. Like one of my doctor friends, he lost 15kgs and gained 6packs at the abdominal areas, under the help of my friend. But it also requires alot of determination, hard work and some supplementary help.

Jiayou =)

Hey pooh & blur_blur_gal!!! Tks for your replies.

Perhaps I should have made myself clear. My purpose of looking for a shapewear is not to lose weight from wearing them but to achieve a better silhouette when I'm wearing my gowns.

I am still controlling my diet and working out, just that don't know if it's because of the rapid weight loss, my skin abit slack and i would like to "tuck" them in. Haha. Sounds gross....

Btw, what's TRA?

ooh... u have any idea wat brands your friend wearing? i just need to endure wearing throughout the length of the shoot. Can't imagine the agony of wearing shapewear to work everyday.

Hi Evelyn, in the end I bought this brand called Controlbody. It's from Chalone's online store and it's $20 cheaper than if i get it in their stores.

So I did something sneaky. I went to their store at Marina Square to try out the size and stuff then I went home to purchase online. Haha!

The one I bought is a high-waisted thigh slimmer with detachable straps. When I tried it at the store, I managed to tuck in my tummy and the extra fats around my hips. My thunder thighs don't "protrude" out much as well. The good thing is, the fabric feels very comfortable and did not feel like I'm gonna suffocate anytime soon.

Waiting for my order to arrive...

Hi ladies,

I have also tried a couple of shape wears and can't find one that really sits well that won't roll down. Had spend lots of money on them(even the well known brands)

Lately, I was so excited that I found one that won't roll down with great compression and suitable for our Singapore Weather.

I had been wearing it for a couple of weeks and still loving it! It really can shape me figure and the best part was my colleagues had commented that I have lose weight(without them knowing that I am wearing shapewear underneath

)

Anyway, I will be bringing in the shapewear(fm US) to Singapore since a lot of my close friends are interested in getting them. So if you ladies are interested too, you can drop me a mail at [email protected] and I can explain more to you.

Cheers.
