Spanx Delivers Slimming Made Simple with Slimplicity™ Open-Bust Camisole Recommended by Whom You Know

You'll remember we featured Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, last year as a Mover and Shaker:

We are pleased to present you with our first Spanx review!  We began with the Slimplicity™ line and it's clearly simple and effective!  We first learned of it through another Mover and Shaker, the FABULOUS Lyss Stern:
and her Divalysscious Moms events, which are just as much fun as Lyss.  Recently Lyss hosted an event with Spanx and Saks, where we were pleased to meet Monica Mirro and Laurie Ann Goldman of Spanx:

After nearly ten years of perfecting figures and slimming silhouettes, Spanx knows what women want: high compression, lightweight fabric, and modern styling. Spanx delivers with Slimplicity™ - a new collection of single-layer shapers that can instantly take you from everyday to elegant. Classic favorites as well as new silhouettes like an open-bust camisole offer more styling options, and select styles feature fun, fashionable patterns inside. Now, you can have a party in your panties (and camisoles) – even if you’re the only one who knows about it!
 
“They say less is more, and that’s exactly what we’re offering women with Slimplicity – less fabric and more compression,” said Spanx founder Sara Blakely. “Using silky, yummy fabrics and the latest shaping technology, we created a line of wardrobe essentials that feel and look amazing and have the shaping power only Spanx can provide.”
 
SPANX Slimplicity styles all have the following benefits, making this collection simply perfect:
  • Soft-to-the-touch fabric and powerful compression meet chic design and thoughtful details for stylish shaping you’ll want to wear every day.
  • Laser-cut edges and flat seams eliminate pinching, binding, and bulging.
  • Sheer edging adds a simply elegant touch to the fashion camisoles, making them pretty enough to be a part of your look.
  • All camisoles have darts that release compression in the chest that are sure to leave the “girls” in full form!
Spanx Delivers Slimming Made Simple with Slimplicity™ that is made of absolutely fabulous material, and first we tried the Open-Bust Camisole, which retails for $44.   You can wear under your favorite tops for extra slimming at the waist, and you may not need this 75% of the month, but for that one week when you are a bit bloated this works like a charm.  If you are new to shapewear, this is an item that is great to begin with, and Spanx is the best around in shapewear.   Also, this camisole flatters the chest and it is amazing that you can wear with any bra!  And if this affects you at the moment: with 12 babies born in ’09, the women at Spanx are finding this camisole perfect for breast feeding!
