We all know the gown is the most important accessory on your wedding day. It’s where all your time and money tend to go. Equally as important as your gown though, is what you will wear underneath it. The right undergarments will set a strong foundation for the shape of your bod and how the dress will look—very important, n’est pas? Of course, you probably envision frilly lace undies and a matching bra, but here’s the reality, it’s probably more likely to be a body-slimming suit! Wouldn’t you love to slim down your lady lumps and keep your bod nipped and tucked in all the right places? Yes, you say? Then you have to think Spanx – they’re a bride’s (and Oprah’s) best friend.
What is Spanx? Spanx (spanx.com) is an amazing collection of body-conscious goodies, ranging from seamless bras and underwear to body shapers with control tops.
What do they do? Spanx isn’t magic, but the way they make your body look, you would think they carry magic slimming powers. The key is in the breathable spandex blend (we’re not talking ’80s neon spandex either), which helps keep the bits of your body you hate nicely together, all while smoothing out lumps and bumps.
Who’s wearing them? Mega celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah (Oprah dedicated an entire segment to it on her show!) are fans and swear by the body-slimming apparel.
Why you’ll love them? Every bride wants to look super fit for her big day and with a little help from Spanx your problem areas will be lifted, tightened and smoothed out for a fabulous body shape.
