i wasn't sure where to put this bc i kinda want to put it everywhere but:
http://shopjeweltoned.com/
i saw an article on xojane about this online store that does a handful of COLORFUL "shapewear" pieces and was instantly on that shit and ordering it up. i got the electric blue mini and the emerald green full slip. it's not traditional shapewear, in that it doesn't attempt to slim or whatever, the garments are just supposed to give a smooth line. so perfect for too-short skirts and dresses.
SO AWESOME GUYS although i haven't worn either of them out of the house so i can't vouch for weather the ride up or roll down.
the sizing is limited but apparently they're coming up with plus sizes soon. i think the mini could fit up to a 16-18 in the xl, but the slip doesn't have much bust room - i got a large because they didn't have xl left, and the body is fine (i'm about a 14) but the bust is major spillage, and the cup inserts are basically useless. not sure if have a bra that'll work with this, either, which might be annoying.
but the COLORS omg, i've been wanting something like this forever. i hope they do more crazy colors.

I have this cute dress i got from eshakti ages ago that is just too short, and the blue mini is perfect under it - the little bit of electric blue poking out looks really awesome

is shapewear a necessary thing? how do you wear it?
― funch dressing (La Lechera), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 19:06 (ten years ago) link
necessary is the wrong word -- useful?
Well it depends - this particular brand makevs multi function shapewear, so each piece can be worn on its own, as a slip or as actual shapewear. I mostly want this stuff as a layer between the world and my butt bc I'm super paranoid about ppl seeing up my skirt, and I don't always want to wear long stuff.
For me, I know that I felt more comfortable in my wedding dress with a shaping pair of undies underneath , they weren't tight or uncomfortable, but they gave me a nicer line or silhouette.
― just1n3, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 19:17 (ten years ago) link
This particular brand is also good to wear with sheer stuff, instead of boring beige.
― just1n3, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 19:18 (ten years ago) link
Oh and I tested the mini today - it probably rode up at the bottom a couple of inches, but was still fine, and I may have pulled it down too far anyway, and the top didn't roll down (after a couple miles walking, no sitting)
― just1n3, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link
gotchai like bike shorts under skirts while biking for that reasonit had never occurred to me to wear these under sheer stuff - that's a good idea!

I'm sitting next to an extremely wealthy client who, just to give you some idea, is ordering a custom necklace with about $70k of stones ALONE in it (not incl metals or labor). She's wearing a straight skirt with deep slits up the sides and I can see that she's wearing lace-hemmed shapewear shorts of some kind.

oops x-post
I remember when you did that last year and watched the merchandise in the hotel or something like that?
Basically, yes. Ever since I haven't had a day job I do all-day client relations and inventory too, so now I hobnob w more rich ppl.

I remember when I was a senior in high school, wearing bike pants under skirt was a thing for about 2 min. A totally awesome thing.
― get up in this twerk cypher (sunny successor), Friday, 23 May 2014 04:14 (ten years ago) link
this was totally a thing when i was about 7 - skater skirts with neon bike pants that were longer than the skirt.

I went to shop at Asos and it seems like it's all "boutiques" ie indie online sellers using Asos as a platform? Lotta bad fits and bad photos.

Driving influence to get a good job after graduation (next April) is to get more dresses!! I perused eshakti last week and was so sad I couldn't buy any.

The last thing I need is another blue dress but ugh I love this so much.

I'm trying to justify it by telling myself that I need a nice summer work dress, which is only true because I keep buying summer casual clothes instead.

FFM, I have a blue dress that would look SPECTACULAR on you. I'm wearing it right now! LOL

like it would look so good on you I'm debating taking it off and just sending it to you.
do it
― Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 16:11 (nine years ago) link
Now I've worn it out into the 90 degree swamp of Chicago so I will wash it first.
But I'm serious about this, FFM. I love this dress but it no longer "sparks joy" and I only have so many hangers. If you want a mystery blue dress in the mail, send me your address.
