Hourglass Angel

Nine months have come and gone and the new person you waited on so patiently is here. Now what? New moms face a whole host of issues in the days after their bundle of joy makes their big debut. From feedings on the go, to a body that doesn’t quite look like the one you were in before you were pregnant, there are a lot of factors you may be facing after baby arrives. Fortunately we have a whole section of products dedicated to making this transitional time a little bit easier.

One of the superstars of the post-partum world is the Belly Bandit line. We stock a wide range of Belly Bandit products, which have found fans in celebrity moms and regular moms alike. Belly Bandit became famous for their line of compression belly bands, which help you heal and allow your midsection return to its normal shape after pregnancy. With the popularity of their bands, Belly Bandit introduced a whole line of pre and post-partum products, including nursing wear. Two of our favorites from this line are the Original Belly Bandit and the Mother Tucker Nursing Tank Top. The Belly Bandit, their original and most popular product wraps around the midsection, adding compression to belly and waist. One of the nicest features of the band is that it adjusts with you as you size down. And the Mother Tucker Nursing Tank Top is a compression tank top with a wonderful secret built right in. Nursing access makes this an essential piece for any stylish mom on the go.

And last but certainly not least, the Almighty Vest by AMIA Shapewear is a maximum compression vest-style garment that aids in weight loss. Stimulating thermal activity in the core with its latex layer, this is an essential shaper for new moms or anyone trying to reshape their midsection.

Easter is a time of renewal, celebrated around the world in as many ways as we can imagine. In addition to the delights of colorful eggs and delicious candies, for many people, the easter holiday presents the first opportunity to showcase our formal spring attire. And with those lighter, lovely looks come fresh shaping and beauty challenges. Whether you’re wearing an everything-shows-though satin shift dress, or pretty pantsuit, Easter is a time you’ll want to dress to impress.

So we gathered some special secrets of shaping, slimming and smoothing that you’ll want at your disposal as we head into this beautiful blooms of spring. Whether you’re looking for hosiery to sleek and even out your legs, a body shaper, or shaping attire for that important church function, you’ll find what you’re looking for here!

Spring is the time that lighter legwear starts to be in season. The Matte Sheer Total Shaper Pantyhose by Calvin Klein are a great way to start your look with even-toned and trimmed legs.

As temperatures rise, necklines fall. But don’t worry, the Xtreme Plunge Bodysuit by Dr. Rey shapes where you need it, without show-through near the bust.

Perhaps you’d rather shape your curves with apparel than add another layer. The Vienna Cocktail Dress by SWAK Designs is an easy, versatile piece that shapes with the eye, rather than compression. Dress it up, or down. Wear your curves your way!

And of course, the starting point for a sexy shape is sexy skin and that’s why we’re so happy that Mambino Organics introduced their Cellufit Body Oil. This toning oil creates smooth, even toned, rejuvenated skin. Pair it with a massager for your best body yet!

Spring has almost sprung and it’s time to slip out of those heavy coats and slacks and slip into the lighter looks of the season, especially dresses and skirts. The advent of spring may bring concerns that your shaper will show through sheer or delicate fabrics in your favorite frock. Perhaps rising temperatures are something you’re beginning to think about. Never fear, flirty fashionistas! Shaping slips are the solution when you’re ready to slim and trim under skirts and dresses but want to keep the breezy comfort of the weather. We’ve compiled our favorite looks (and one perfect, goes-everywhere dress!) for spring shaping. No matter what the fabric or design of your look may bring, there’s a shaping slip for you!

Valentine’s Day is one of the most delightful holidays because we celebrate and spend time with the one we love the most. While candy and flowers are often the symbol of the season, the most important gift we give is ourselves and our affection. So it is natural that we turn, during this time, to our favorite figure flatterers so that we can make the most of our romantic time with our sweethearts. Lets take a look at some of our favorites in lingerie and shapewear so you can start this sexy holiday off the right way!

If you have a big date night ahead of you, you may want to drop the neckline a little to turn up the wow factor. A plunge bra like the Natori Sheer Convertible Ultra Light Contour Plunge accommodates a variety of necklines and looks. Stockings are a classic when it comes to seduction.

The Stocking with Lace Garter by Calvin Klein is a great place to start when it comes to sexy hosiery.

Corsets are the ultimate in shaping lingerie. Whether you prefer a genuine steel-boned corset or something with a lighter touch such as the Red Hot Romance Bustier and Thong Set by Hourglass Angel , you can’t go wrong when you add a corset to your curve enhancing collection.

And if you want to start with a perfect shape, the Almighty Vest by AMIA promises to flatter your figure.

Finish it all off with a silhouette shaping dress like the Mesh Panel Asymmetrical Dress and you’ll have a night to remember with someone you love this Valentine’s Day!

You’re not alone. Oh, yes. We’ve all done it.

No matter how much you love shapewear, you’ve probably slipped into a bathroom to slip out of your body shaper. From the wasp waist to the boosted bust, body shapers perform mini-miracles when we wear them, but many of us live in fear that these flattering undergarments will be seen by someone else. If you’ve ever wished that your shapewear could be as pretty as the lacy, lovely things in your lingerie drawer, we have good news for you.

Lingerie-styled body shapers are one of the biggest trends in shaping garments. With shapewear growing in popularity, the demand for delicate detailing and all the beautiful bells and whistles you see in lingerie design has been met. And no matter what your preference is, from maximum compression curve creators to easy-wearing pieces with a little power and a lot of pretty, there is a garment for you.

One of the most exciting collections of lingerie inspired shapewear comes to us from va-va-voom enhancers, Vedette. And believe us, from items like the Demi Sexy Lace Waist Cincher with Garters to the Katia Lace Body Suit With Semi Sheer Thong, one look and you will know that this is not your mother’s body shaper. The lace and garters and fancy details will have you daring to share your shaper in ways you never imagined.

And if you love these pieces, just wait till you get a hold of the Diva Corselette by AMIA. The pretty boyshort with lace and ribbon detailing are all that you need to bring out your inner diva and show her off!

But the original in sexy shaping is of course the all-time classic: the corset.

Corsets come in many styles and control levels, but whether you choose underbust or overbust, tight-laced or something with a lighter touch, you can be sure that your curves will look their best. If you’re looking for a corset for a special night with a loved one, when perhaps you don’t need as much compression, Hourglass Angel has many fine pieces to choose from. Consider an overbust design and eliminate the need for a bra.

However if you want the maximum curve creating power of a potent tight-lacing corset, you’ll find those too. Genuine corsets with steel busk and stays last for years and serve a variety of needs.
Whether you want something basic or bold, you’re sure to find what you need in the Timeless Trends collection.

This is your year. With the New Year comes new resolve, but you can strengthen your commitment to a healthy lifestyle and your confidence by adding the power of a shaping or weight loss garment.

If you’ve recently begun a workout regimen, we recommend the addition of shaping activewear to your wardrobe. Choosing a garment that shapes and slims you when you’re in the gym, is a wonderful way to increase confidence now and feel your best as you become fit. The Champion Shape collection is a great place to start.

For many of us the midsection is an area of particular interest. If you’d like support for long-term slimming, consider adding a Workout Band to increase thermal activity and fat mobilization in the core.

If cellulite is a concern, there are many shapers that help reduce visible dimpling in the legs, thighs and buttocks, but we love the Delfin Spa line because it specifically created for activewear. Its bio-ceramic construction uses your body’s own heat to fight cellulite and slim you.
