This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time - but it's so true! These sorts of stomach-holding-in pants are such a pain to get in to, a pain when you need to go to the loo, and a real pain if you actually want to seduce someone. That's without the general discomfort of sitting in a chair trying to convince yourself that shallow breaths is all you need while your vital organs are smashed up against your spine.
It's no wonder that corset-wearing women got very little done in Victorian times.
I tried wearing something kind of like that (just a little less of it!) once when I was in a wedding. The bridesmaid dress was this flimsy fabric, and while I don't have a lot of jiggle, you could see any little bump through it. It's funny, I actually felt bigger with that thing on! It smoothed the silhouette and I'm sure it looked great, but I felt, basically, hot, uncomfortable, and even bigger.. Never again! :)
love the blog! Its good to know that I am not the only person trying to conform to the fashion of "petite is perfection". Have tried something like it once only, and had to take them off within an hour and walk around commando at the wedding thereafter.

Ack! No thanks. I'd rather cut out the junk food and walk more.
Lol, is this a joke? There are only 3 things that can help you improve/reduce but not totally eliminate cellulite: diet, exercise and liposuction!
