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 was really happy when the low rise jean phase when out because I was so tired of seeing women and their underwear when they bent over. I really do not want to know you are wearing a red thong under your pants. I don’t care how sexy you think it is… me personally I just do not feel its very classy to let everyone know what’s going on when you bend over.
I’m from the old school. My mother taught me to wear a slip under my dress, a girdle if you’re jiggling and a good bra, and to not let my undergarments show. No… I am not an old maid. I’m from the Gen-X generation but I was taught how to be a lady and to keep a bit of modesty.
When Madonna made underwear outwear in the 1990s, women just went crazy showing everything and as time has passed, our children are wearing less and less clothing. It scares me to think about what our granddaughter’s are going to be given as a choice on the racks of stores in years to come. I saw this press release today and was really glad to see it. I just wish they made these for men as well because “lawd have mercy” there are some dudes that need this product really badly and they should make this a standard for all plumbers.
This product is called the Hip-T. Two women developed the product. Apparently one of the women was approached by her child after her daughter’s friends were making fun of her mom after seeing her backside being revealed in her jeans from behind. You step into it and pull it over the top of your jeans and it covers the middle and backside area. Once you pull your shirt down, it gives a layered effect.
You guys wanna call me a prude… then do so but just be honest… do we really want to see the top of people’s buttocks when they bend over or stoop down to pick up something? Give us a break and conceal that stuff. No matter if you are a size 0 or size 22— have some class.
When Whitney Houston said, “Crack is Wack”… I agree (hee-hee), but now I’m applying the phrase to fashion sense when it comes to showing your backside and underwear.
The Hip-Ts are cute and come in all different colors and a few different patterns. It’s something young girls and ladies would love and still feel stylish to boot. You can always look fashionable without looking trashy. It’s just having the arsenal to do it with.
P.S. For mother’s with teen daughter’s it is a fun way to make sure those jeans are fitting right without totally taking away your daughter’s fashion individuality. This is kind of like fashion police incognito. It’s a win-win situation.
P.P.S. Almost forgot…they carry sizes 1XL, 2XL and 3XL, so no excuses for my queen-sized ladies.

On a personal note, when I saw these fishnet Spanx hose, it took me back to a cut by Morris Day in the late 80s about “Fishnet Black Panty Hose”. Bear with me while I reminisce about my teen years. :-)
