Photo courtest of Sassybax
Most women demand a lot from shapewear—it must smooth, sculpt, compress, and reshape every inch of the body. While we expect that slip of lycra to take off 10 lbs. in a matter of seconds, we don't really ask that much from it aesthetically. We shimmy into a not-so-lovely tube that could hold up a small building and if you're like me, you don't ever want to be seen during that process (I always dress in a dark closet when Spanxing). Not only are things shifting every which way, but shapewear is just not that pretty...until now. Sassybax's new collection looks more like lingerie than a tummy slimmer. It does the usual, but with a beautiful touch—a sexy camisole of Austrian lace is one of my faves. The Sassybax Pretty Collection is available in black and nude, ranging from $50-$118. Available at Annex Two, 12623 Olive, 314-576-5557 and Jule, 9757 Clayton, 314-983-9282, juleonline.com.
