I'm not real big on shapewear. Whenever I try to "armor up" to create a certain curve or silhouette, I start feeling more "linebacker" than "lovely."

 

At 5'10 and 190 pounds, I've discovered that finding the right proportions can be a challenge. Breast forms that seem proportionate on my frame tend to be rather "generous," and anything smaller tend to look like a pair of overturned tea cups. And don't get me started on the engineering required to keep everything in place!

 

I am quite fond of my body as it is (minus ten pounds, of course) and I usually prefer to choose clothes that flatter and accentuate what I have than try to reshape everything underneath. But I certainly understand the appeal of a little extra help and maybe I just haven't mastered the art of shapewear yet. If it makes you feel fabulous—more power to you!
