Fashion trends in Shapewear and Body Shapers

She walks the red carpet with confidence and grace. Her designer gown flows perfectly, lovingly hugging her in all the right places. The gown's brand name creator sits proudly in front of five Hi-Def monitors fed by the five Hi-Def cameras streaming her image around the world. A smile grows replacing the nervous anticipation on his face as Hollywood's most discerning critics give her thumbs up for the appearance. Everyone knows that it was about her not the gown, what they don't know are her secrets for radiance, beauty and confidence.

Shapewear and body shapers are the secret weapons of many progressive women including many in Hollywood. Shapewear is the growing trend in enhancement under garments (and outer wear) that helps to reduce your dress size, smooth your bulges, lift what sags and straighten your posture. Let's face it, fashion designers design for skinny models and what looks great on some women looks frumpy on others. Women are now fighting back by using Shapewear to achieve the perfect figure and fit in where previously they did not. Shapewear is "instant gratification", says Dr. Rey, a plastic surgeon to the stars and now promoter of Dr. Rey's ®Shapewear on HSN. Dr. Rey must have read the writing on the wall since surgeries such as liposuction and tummy tucks have been on the decline in recent times. Shapewear can give you the same results as $27,000 in plastic surgery without the risks, the costs, the stitches or the pain. What's more, the Shapewear faithful report that they feel more confident; a trait similarly enjoyed by those who paid the thousands and endured the pain of surgery.

The rise in popularity and acceptance of body shapers has come over time. Often lamented as "not your grandma's girdle" new technology in fabrics, design and manufacturing techniques have opened the door for more functional fashion options. Spanx ®, the company, designer Laura Blakely built, has taken full advantage of the new age and is bring high fashion to the body compression world. Her creations have given rise to the layered look and have helped women of all body types become fashionable again. This trend coupled with the ease of use and dramatic results women instantly get have put girdles back in vogue.

This season don't expect Fashionistas to wear and tell. Many basics will come paneled with built in body contouring, or for a lipo effect, higher compression garments underneath. Spanx, YummieTummie and others have new lines that are all about style on the outside and keeping it in on the inside. Colombian manufactures Vedette, Diane and Geordi and Ann Michell all have extensive lines of modern body modeling garments that deliver smaller waists, lifted busts, and shapely derrieres. It's a win win situation for women who don't want to starve themselves into this season's fashion. Whether you wear a evening gown, Hippy Chic or Jeans and a T-shirt there is a body shaper that will invisibly optimize your figure for the fashion. Online retailer Telegaleria carries many of these body shapers and has the best selection and pricing I have found while researching to write this article.

Tighter budgets and the desire of more and more women to accept their bodies as they are have decreased the demand for plastic surgery and increase the popularity of Shapewear. New designs that incorporate Shapewear within the garment, are giving many women a double value of smooth curves and beautiful fashion. Further, women are achieving dramatic results and sculptured figures with body shapers and corsets from Vedette, Diane and Geordi and Ann Michell. The natural beauty and confidence that seems to come effortlessly for some women often times come from a little help underneath, shouldn't you enjoy the same benefits too.
