Now that fall is here and we have made the switch to Transitional Dressing, I went shopping at for the essential under-things to wear under everything! Bloomingdales seems to have the best selection. I tend to wear more knits and jerseys right now, and for my travel itineraries ahead, I am putting together the Fall’s Must-Haves in smooth undies and shape wear to keep you VPL (visible panty line) and VBF (visible back fat) free. It is not the sexiest of selections, I will save that for another more amorous time, but I guarantee you will look better in your clothing, with a few simple additions. These are the shape wear pieces that you will wear everyday and pack with you for fall travel.
This is a fabulous “Tee Shirt Bra.” Comfortable with wide straps and front closure. It is super smooth!

I find a slip is a better choice than the too tight shape wear which can create more residual bumps than it solves and can be very uncomfortable. Instead, try one of these and in both shades.
This one a little shorter and more. flared. Perfect for a Fit and Flare style dress.

When wearing a slip with straps, we recommend a strapless bra – less things to show.
