“If it weren’t for shape-wear, women wouldn’t dare try on half the dresses they lust after here,” sales associate Maher Alami told me last time I was perusing The Room.
Indeed, appropriate undergarments soften the lumps and bumps and give women the chutzpah to wear a dress that would otherwise fall outside her comfort zone.
Result Wear by dMondaine is my latest discovery, created to accentuate cleavage and curves while smoothing the bulges. Unlike other shapewear that can make you feel like you’re stuffed into sausage casing, these garments provide a foundation that’s firm, comfortable and fabulously effective.
Wear under your slinkiest, sexiest cocktail dress at the holiday party and watch as your co-workers fall into the egg nog. —Athena Tsavliris
