Mother of the bride looking for undergarment advise

[maryrose 2]

Hi ladies,

My daughter is getting married in Oct. I wanted sooooo much to be in a smaller size by the wedding, but I have to get a grip and start looking for something to wear! At least I am happing to say I can fit into regular missy sizes, squeezing into possibly a 16 (maybe).

Does Spanx really hold you in, or should I be looking at the heavy duty stuff? I'm afraid this will put pressure on my band.

Has anyone had to dress up for a special occasion recently, and how did you handle it? Were you comfortable???

Thanks in advance.

Hi MaryRose, I just attended my daughters engagement party last Saturday afternoon. I have worn (spanks) and they work fine. I just wanted a little more support so I went for the heavy duty Macy's full body armor no problem with the band. Have a happy wedding I am sure you will look fab.

I like the Spanx better than the full girdles. I feel like they do just as good a job and are much more comfortable.

I love my Spanx, i got the kind that fit from the bottom of your bra down to a few inches above the knee. I swear they take a good 10 pounds off!

Hi, Mary Rose....and congrats on the wedding. My daughter got married two weeks ago. Fortunately, it was a beach wedding so I didn't feel the need to don my Spanx.

I have the one KeliTx mentioned and it IS a serious undergarment.
