The Nude Bra

fashion blogger Jacquelyn of STYLE WORTHWHILE

Most women would think that a black bra is a must in one's closet, but seldom a, nude bra. A black bra looks good with almost any outfit, but a white shirt. 

In today's fashion trend, when you wear a semi-sheer white shirt, it's okay to show-off your bra may it be in neon colors, printed, or not- because that's an IN thing to do! In case that showing-off a bra is not within your zone, a good nude bra is best to wear with your semi-sheer white shirt, or top.

ZITA bra in nude

Like the black bra, nude bras are very versatile also but is the only color of bra, that looks more appropriate, elegant, and clean to look at underneath a sheer white top. Remember, showing-off colorful bras under your top is okay so long as you wear it accordingly with the occasion you are going to, but keep in mind, that it's still best to wear a classy nude bra under a white top!

How Frequent Should A Shapewear Be Worn?

Shapewear are safe to wear daily in almost 8 hours a day when needed. Most women wear one underneath their work attires for support and coverage, or for more pleasant appearance. There's no harm a shapewear can bring to the wearer if she plans to wear one for almost the entire day.

BUT, wearing a shapewear should also have a limit especially on times when your body needs to rest. Like when sleeping. Shapewear is not advised to be worn while sleeping to avoid discomfort, and painful areas on your breasts, and other parts of the body. 

Let your body and skin breathe from a day of tightness to avoid pain and discomfort. Too much wearing of a shapewear or any too tight underwear can cause UTI or urinary tract infection on the genitals since, bacteria becomes more active on hot areas. 

If you plan to eat for a day, avoid wearing too tight shapewear to avoid you from having stomach spasms, or heart burns. Eating too much with a shapewear too tight on your body wil l give pressure on your full stomach thus pumping too much gas or stomach acid, which makes your tummy feel acidic or painful after several minutes. 

The best thing to do when wearing a shapewear is to give your body a break at night after almost a day of wearing one. Let your body loosen-up or breath during the night. Plus, also, get as much variety of compression shapewear with different levels of tightness so you could pick under certain matters, which is best to wear!

ASK MR.VARGAS : Part 5

It's the 5th part of the ASK MR. VARGAS GIVEAWAY! Today we will be answering another set of questions from our lovely fans!

let's begin!

What is the best way to maximize our bust while slimming our waist?

Sarah bustier

Bustiers are great shapewear pieces to help women achieve a body with a slim waist but with a more shapely breasts. The bustier cinches the waist and pushes and shapes the breasts accordingly.

 What shapewear is the best for wearing a strapless summer dress?

ELISE bodysuit

This summer, we recommend you to wear shapewear in medium compression since among all the Vedette compressions, this one's the lightest and holds less tight on the body. I personally suggest, the ELISE bodysuit.

It's a strapless thong bodysuit with medium compression, that's best for summer strapless summer dresses. Summer clothes or dresses for that matter, may tend to come in thinner and flowy fabrics than the usual clothing, so always make sure to get a shapewear with smooth texture to avoid visible underwear lines! This bodysuit is bra-less but you can pair it any matching strapless bra.

What is the best way to make your chest look

bigger?

You could seek help from your ever trusty compression bras or bustiers to shape and push your breasts to make them look more pleasant.

What shapewear would you recommend wearing for a maxidress that is strapless?

ARIANE full body shaper

TO ensure that you are all covered up and no visible lines will be present, I;d like to recommend you to wear the ARIANE full body shaper. It is a strapless shapewear with attached bra and mid-thigh panty shaper. The full body shaper comes in a smooth texture and seamless ends to avoid VPL!

What works best for ab support?

VALERIE waist cincher

Waist cinchers are best in giving the body support. This is because of its boning that makes the body's posture on good stature and form. It keeps the body impact and thus giving more support on the abs area.

Please take note that only the first 5 questions will only be answered and will only be drawn to pick the winner of a shapewear!  Again, thanks to all those who joined! The winner of a surprise shapewear is...

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

fashion blogger Surbhi Suri of The Fashion Flite in her Rosina bodysuit

Weight does not define beauty or being sexy. It is neither a basis for feeling confident about yourself nor a full reason to hate yourself. Loving your body, is loving your entire self: your personality, your flaws, and the good and the bad things in you. 

It is never too late to love you body! :)

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND!

ASK OUR STYLIST: What to wear under a pencil-cut dress?

The little black dress or the LBD is a classic piece every woman should own. It's so versatile you could style it anyway you like. One of the LBD styles we think flatters almost any body shape is this pencil cut dress! A pencil-cut dress hugs the waist and tummy, hips, and thighs thus exposing more the shape of the midriff and your behind. 

SOLUTION: Wear a smooth, ISABELLE seamless bodysuit in mid-thigh panty to help you have a smoother, covered shape! 

The ISABELLE mid-thigh body shaper is bra-less so you could pair it with any bra you prefer. It has an open bottom to help shape and lift the butt for a more shapely hips and behind. Plus the seamless of the leg holes are lined so it won't cause visible lines when worn.

VEDETTE SHAPEWEAR NEVER HIDE

If there's one thing in this earth a single penny can't buy, that is trust. And as a brand, we serve our clients with complete honesty and best effort to show them Vedette is a trustworthy brand. 

Being honest means telling the truth, and never hide. As a brand who has been in business for over 30 years, we also receive negative feedback. Instead of masking the issue, we would like to share with you an honest article from a blogger who had a first time experience of trying our shapewear:

http://www.cocoandvera.com/2013/04/style-diary-on-brutal-honesty-body.html

We believe that our size chart is made to accommodate all the body types of women. We know the differences of each woman's body, and we always understand how not all bodies have the same shape that's why our shapewear specialist will be there in case of problems or in case there will be some clarifications over sizing.

 We understand fully how hard it is for first time shapewear users to pick their very first shapewear, hence we created our five simple tips to getting a harmonious relationship with your shapewear:


1. GET YOUR BODY MEASUREMENTS. 
Height, weight, bra cup size, under bust size, waist line, and hips line


2. GIVE ENOUGH TIME TO PICK.
Getting your first shapewear is not as easy as picking your very first panty or bra. Shapewear fits tighter than your regular undies so be sure you know what compression and style of shapewear is suited for you. We have different categories to address your body needs, so you could have more ideas which best to pick.


3. CHECK THE SIZE CHART
And familiarize with the sizing so would you know what size of shapewear to get.


4. ASK A CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE
For some queries not answerable by the size chart. Or if there are certain things you are not sure with comes to sizing and shapewear style.


5. ALWAYS START WITH THE LOWEST COMPRESSION OF SHAPEWEAR

Medium Control is the lightest compression category of Vedette which is more appropriate for first-time users of shapewear. It is best to familiarize your body first with a shapewear before jumping to a much tighter piece.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

fashion blogger, ALEXE of DOLLPOUPEE in her ZOE waist cincher

The root of all insecurities, is spending time listening to what others are saying, especially if words are meant to bug you down. NEVER LISTEN TO PEOPLE who pulls you down.

Have a happy weekend ladies! Stay-tuned for up coming giveaways!

DAY TO NIGHT: Jacquelyn

How do you dress-up a bustier if your style is minimalist? Well take it from fashion blogger, Jacquelyn of STYLE WORTHWHILE, and see how she spin her SARAH bustier to both a minimalistic DAY-TO-NIGHT look!

DAY LOOK

Sarah bustier  + tattered jeans +cardigan + ankle booties

We love the western appeal of Jaquelyn's daytime look! She was able to wear the bustier as her top, without looking overly sexy! Tip: pair a sexy bustier, with rugged and conservative pieces to balance everything!

NIGHT LOOK

Sarah bustier + off white kimono robe + black bandage skirt + cage heels

A night look doesn't necessarily mean too sexy-skin baring outfit! You could always look sexy by combining pieces with sexy lace accents, and little details, such as the Sarah bustier and Jacquelyn's heels! The robe added mystery onto her look!

TIP: if you want to look evenly more sexy with any outfit, try wearing a monochromatic outfit so make you look longer and taller, and leaner.

Bodysuit vs. Waist Cincher

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BODYSUIT AND A WAIST CINCHER?

LEA bodysuit

BODYSUIT is a type of shapewear that smooths out lumps and bumps in different body areas. It's one piece that usually comes with attached bra cups , or sometimes with open-bust area.

It's sole purpose is to give the wearer coverage, and a bit of shaping by smoothing out lumps or protruding fats.

BELLE waist cincher/Corset

WAIST CINCHERS are sometimes called CORSETS,. It is made to cinch the wearer's body an inch or half inch slimmer and squeeze in fats to help reveal a slimmer waist, and curvier body.

The next time you buy a shapewear, take these in mind s you'll know what best type of shapewear to get! :)

Celebrate Your Body

fashion blogger, Amy Nelson of AMY FLYING A KITE in her Tatienne corset bodysuit

It wasn't until I read their mission statement and browsed through their "I've got nothing to hide campaign" that I was convinced shapewear is more than just a garment for disguising belly fat but also a garment that celebrates your body and is a pretty addition to your wardrobe. 

It has been a year or more since Vedette started the I'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE CAMPAIGN. We simply believe that each woman is beautiful regardless of her waistline or what her imperfections are. Body image has always been an issue, and Vedette truly believes that a woman's body is at its most beautiful when you let it shine on its own. Vedette shapewear, knows how to flatter a woman's image best, through shapewear that let you shine without changing or masking who you are, but rather enhance yourself to make you look like more of your best self! 

Read more and find-out how the campaign touched Amy's heart and what she thinks about Vedette shapewear!

HAPPY MONDAY LADIES! Have a good start for the week!
