Have a secret to share with you ? Gok Wan vests. I bought a set of 3 yesterday in Sainsburys for £20. They come in black, white and nude/beige. They're the 'hold you in' type of vest, spanx for your torso if you like! I am wearing the white one today and I feel very held in (but comfy) and at least a good ½-1 dress size smaller. I bought medium, which look like they would fit a barbie doll. They're difficult to get into, but veeerrrry stretchy once on. I'm a size 10-12 if that helps.
One thing ? I put it on to dry my hair this morning and when I sat down, the bottom of it rolled up. "Bugger" I thought ? that's them going straight back. But once I put my trousers on, they were fine.
I'm quite impressed, so thought I would pass on the love!
