The non-seamless Spanx sport a gnarly seam straight up the front that would make the wearer of that dress look like she's smuggling a small mountain range on her tummy. I'm getting this dress - http://www.photosbykim.com/portfolio/fashion/images/f12.jpg - in ivory, and the side detailing and waist seaming are much more forgiving than all the other satin sheath dresses that have broken my heart.

But I don't know about the white. Maybe a possibility for a glamorous wedding? I believe that the black is for the girls who are eyeing this little number as a prom dress.

Remarkably comfortable considering their ability to prevent the jiggles and the bulges. And no, the Annalucia does not work for the Spanx and nobody has paid her to endorse their products; she merely likes them very, very much. She also finds the bridesmaid's gown very pretty (though she hopes the ruching is not drawn too tightly across the derriere). She is surprised, however, to see it offered in black (?) and even white (!!!). If she had to pick an available color she would choose the blue. Bridesmaids come in many colors, and the blue seems most likely, if not to flatter a wide array of skin tones, at least not to swear at them.

I wonder if I wore one every day would my body eventually assume that shape :-) Wow, Bria, that sounds absolutely amazing!

I wore a pair under a slinky silk dress to a friend's wedding and had no worries about tummy bulges, panty lines, or anything else unseemly for the rest of the night.
