The Girdle PT 1

Hey Ladies...thanks for visiting Flaunt UR Curves.

Let's talk Girdles!

Do you know I have spoken to woman who REFUSE to wear a girdle? (Unfortunately, it's usually the ones who need them the most!) Ladies, the word "GIRDLE" is not a curse word...it can actually be a blessing; especially for plus size woman. Girdles go back to the early 18th century...another word for girdle is "Corset." In France (the originating country for girdles) prostitutes were forbidden to purchase these because they were only meant for the "ladies."

Girdles were not only designed to pull in the excess weight that us ladies may not be able to loose, but it also keep is from jiggling when we walk. That’s Right!  In certain clothing and settings, your body should not jiggle all over the place…I promise it’s not as cute as you may think.

Now adays there are several different types of girdles....the biggest problem is not that woman don't wear girdles, but woman don't know what girdles to wear with what clothing. And don't feel bad if you don't know....it's not like they give you Dress Up 101 in high school or college...so let’s go there for a minute.

First and foremost, be able and willing to try on a couple different types girdles. Some girdles work better for some people, and there are different types of girdles that are used for different types of outfits. There are also Controlled Top panty-hoes (for the few of you that actually still wear panty-hoes) that can keep your body in position as well.

Panty Girdles: are only meant to tighten your lower diaphragm. You can wear panty girdles with jeans, or depending how large your upper diaphragm is, you may be able to wear it with a skirt.

Straight Girdles: These girdles usually go from the top of your stomach down to your lower thigh. These are to be worn with straight dresses. They are to keep extra "rolls" from showing through your dress. However...don't be deceived, some dresses are just not to be worn by all body types. If you see consistent "rolls" showing through the dress after you but on a straight girdle, THAT DRESS WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU!

OK...we're going to turn this into a two part serious. Keep your eye's open for part two of THE GIRDLE ...LOL

Remember you are beautiful with yo thick self!!!!

Sexy. Self Confident, and realistic Self Sizing...that's what’s up!
