Dip it Low

Not so fond of your ‘love’ handles? Why not perfect your silhouette?

With the right unmentionables, you can enhance your assets—booty or bust line—and camouflage the rest. Sartorial scientists have been hard at work designing ingenious undergarments that will—regardless of PMS bloat or extra pounds courtesy of holiday overindulgence—smooth, hoist and enhance a woman’s figure to its most beautiful.

Allow us to introduce a few of our favorites:

Fashion Forms Plunge Bra When strapless isn’t an option and braless is a bust, Fashion Forms’ deep Plunge Bra ($28) is the answer to all of your cleavage-bearing prayers. If your neckline dips down to there—thanks to Fashion Forms—even fuller-breasted ladies can rest assured that their girlz will remain “up where they belong.”

Commando Invisible Underwear They’re tagline is “better than nothing.” Expect to experience a few, semi-panicked “did I forget to put on panties?!” moments the first time you slip into these feather-light skivvies. Available in “girl short” ($26), thong and tiny thong ($20) form, Commandos will have you kissing panty lines goodbye. It’s quite the sensation, really - freedom offered by coverage.

Spanx “Slim Cognito” Bodysuit These aren’t your mother’s control-top pantyhose! Equipped to (as comfortably as possible) smooth and shrink unwanted bulk for a sultry silhouette, Spanx are favorites of brides and beauty queens. They are, however, beneficial to any woman seeking to slim down in seconds. Spanx’ “Slim Cognito” Bodysuit ($58) in particular, is a miracle worker: it will allow you to indulge in both that extra slice of cheesecake and that coveted halter dress.

So, whether you rock a body-skimming jersey, low-dipping satin or second-skin silk, do it confident that everything will fall into place.
