Hi Ladies,
This is my review of the Vedette Shapewear line. Today we will be talking about the Braless Corset Style 150. What can I say….this was a mixed bag. I had some likes and dislikes about this one. Overall… I am going to give it a passing grade and I will tell you why. This corset to my surprise helped with keeping my back in alignment. I have a little back problem and noticed that when I wore this corset, my back did not hurt. Now I know Vedette cannot make medical claims so this is just my personal testimony about what occurred when I wore this corset. I am top heavy and as part of my job I am at my computer most of the day. Most of the time I am pulled forward and my posture is not the best. When I wore this corset I noticed my posture was a lot better and my back was not hurting any more. Just on that point alone I am going to give it to Vedette.
The cons of this corset is since I am a plus sized woman..it is not always the most comfortable piece of shapewear. My figure is in the shape of a barrell right now so I am trying to tame my frame essentially into a different shape that it’s not used to. When I first tried this one I had a time trying to get it on but I found that after wearing it a couple of days, I began to get used to putting this corset on. As you know from before, I have trialed hoisery based shapewear so I was not expecting to put out much effort to don this shapewear. Once I understood the energy it was going to take to put these on.. I was able to put this corset on without fuss and was okay with wearing this type of shapewear.
The other con is that this type of shapewear does not breathe very well. This is not a hosiery based item. I liken it to a wet suit feel or if you have ever tried those exercise shorts from the sporting supply store the texture is similar to those. I looked on the inside label and it says this is made from rubber latex, nylon and spandex so that explains everything. When looking at the Vedette catalog, I noticed that they also sell hosiery based shapewear as well. I learned something new when using the Vedette shapewear being that there are two types of shapewear textures, hosiery based and non-hoisery based.
On the plus side, the corset has two sets of hook and eyes so if you lose weight, you can just pull it in to the next row of hooks. I am trying to lose some weight and it is kind of like a visual encouragement to see as I shrink that I am getting that much closer to moving to the second row of hooks. That makes me happy.
These shapewear are wash and wear. I used cold water and some liquid detergent and let them soak for about 30 minutes since the material is a bit heavier to make sure I cleaned them well. These shapewear have a tendency to make you sweat so good cleaning was in order.
I had a great time trialing this style shapewear and I will be coming back soon with my review of the Bodysuit Style 209 from Vedette Shapewear.
P.S. Remember to watch for the next coming review for the last Vedette item. Talk with you soon. 
I know this post title sounds strange but Just wanted to share some new women’s shapewear that I found for the arm area. I know there are a lot of women out there who have excess skin on the arms and there really has not been a remedy for that without surgery until now. If you are not one for going under the knife, may I introduce to you Slimpressions.
Slimpressions helps to minimize that extra skin under the arms which I affectionately call “batwings” and allows you to fit into those snug blouses and sweaters and conceal those areas.
I am in the process of losing weight and I am finding that as I lose weight, my arms are getting smaller but there is still a little skin there that is just not snapping back so when I say batwings… I understand what they look like cause I have’em :-) I know I am not the only one out there…. so don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about!! (Ha-Ha).
You know those cute little shirts that you always want to wear but you can’t because the arms just don’t fit well…. try wearing the Slimpressions and then put that shirt on again and see what kind of fit you get. Slimpressions come in size 2 to 22 (they go by pant size-don’t know why). They also now have petites for those of us with shorter arm lengths and shorter torsos.
When people look at my arms in my shirt with my Slimpressions on they will never know about my secret identity and that’s the way (uh huh- uh-huh) I like it.
