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 always like to post products that are made in plus sizes as well. All your small sized girls shouldn’t have all the fun… we queen sized girls just wanna have fun too

I was listening to the radio today and apparently Angelina Jolie has undergone a tummy tuck to improve her figure after having twins. She apparently is calling it a “Mommy Tuck”. It’s funny how celebs make up their own words and the press runs with it like it is a new Webster’s Dictionary term. Do you guys remember when the word “gravitas” was all the rage during the election 8 years ago?
Since we are talking about ”Mommy Tucks” I just wanted to send a shout out to all new moms whether it’s your first or tenth. Having kids can take a toll on your body, especially the stomach area. Girdle shapewear are something you can have in your arsenal that will give the appearance of being pounds slimmer without going on a diet. If you’ve just had a little one the last thing on your mind is counting calories. The only thing you want to count are sheep with the late nights sitting up with your new addition to the family. Shapewear gives the advantage of looking good without the extra effort.
When time is short and its time to get dressed and run to the store, you can always look svelt and lean using your shapewear. For my ladies who have had C-sections, it’s my opinion that the brand Yummie Tummie would be the best overall pick. The YT shapewear have the appearance of really nice tank tops but inside they have a panel that hold in the stomach without the extra binding effect of a panty girdle. This would be my number one pick until your well healed of course, then you can bind yourself up as tight as you like. Being a mom is hard work and there are just times where we need that extra “ump” to add an extra kick in our step in order to tackle our day and don our many hats. Women’s shapewear help you achieve to that goal.
