It seems that the body con look, popularized by Herve Leger's bandage dress isn't going anywhere. As cute as the slinky dresses look on celebrities on the red carpet, pulling them off in real life is a whole different story. The style emphasizes curves, which can make it hard for a lot of the female population to pull off!

Luckily, slipping on a shapewear piece underneath a slim fitting dress is a quick fix for streamling your sillhouette. Lingerieplease sent me their Charnos shapewear to test out for a night on the town (outfit pictures to come!). It fits like a corset, but way comfier! It was a great solution for dresses that make you feel like you have to suck in all night while you're wearing them.
I hate when trends are confined to certain body types; & i love the idea of making body con dresses a bit more wearable for the rest of us!
Do you wear "body con" style dresses, or do you perfer a spandex-free style?

I love bodycon style dresses. Those bodycon dresses are super cute.

I'm not a fan of body-con items. I always feel so uncomfortable in them. But a shapewear piece sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am so scared of bodycon! I love the way they look, but feel like they would emphasize my bulges rather than my curves (haha!) I've tried shapewear but I find it uncomfortable :(

love it, i think it's such a sexy look! x
ReplyDeletebodycon dresses make me way too nervous... maybe i should wear a corset, hehe!
ReplyDeletebody con skirts ftw! wearing one in my latest post too ;)
ReplyDeletethis kind of dresses are so pretty but yes they are not easily to wear :S
ReplyDeleteThe most "body con" dresses I have are one from AA and a ruched brown strapless number I found at a local boutique. Miraculously, neither of them seem to require me wearing shapewear to make them look good!
ReplyDeletei like some bodycon dresses- but i dont own any shapewear. i usually wear a belt to a bodycon dress- and a cardigan/blazer-
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by me darling you.wish you a wonderful week
youre very welcome to order! i love orders from fellow bloggers- because then the possibility of seeing them in your designs increase- and i love seeing people in my prints ;)

That's a good option for curvier girls, but i myself prefer looser styles, i just don't feel comfortable in super tight styles!
ReplyDeleteI just got my first body con dress from Gilly Hicks! I am very petite, but I usually wear flowier styles; however, I am learning to love the body con look, even without shapewear. Body con dresses are just so chic.
