How I Took an Inch Plus Off my Waist in Less Than

a Minute

Yes, you read that correctly!  Similar to my hunt for a face lift in a bottle FTF is on the constant hunt for shape wear that shaves inches, smooths, tightens and lifts!  Guess what…I found it! Introducing:

RUBY RIBBON

My dear friend, Deborah’s sister-in-law, Eileen reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in trying Ruby Ribbon’s cami and then blogging about it.  FTF is always happy to try new things but we only blog about items we like and, therefore, can recommend to you.

MEET EILEEN:

According to Eileen, “These camis not only replace your bra but they give you the lift and support your “girls” need AND hug your tummy, hide your back bulge, and eliminate muffin tops!  The camis are made with material that is completely flexible and moisture-wicking.  You’ll be able to do side bends, eat dessert, play with babies and dogs, and relax while being comfortable all day but fitting into those smaller jeans hiding at the back of your closet waiting for your diet to kick in!  We help you look fabulous and confident in all of your clothes!”

GO BRALESS – BYE BYE BRA!

This concept has never even remotely crossed my mind!  I’m much too chesty for this to ever be an option.  You might recall our blog about getting fitted for bras at Tina’s Closet.  In my mind, there is no cami that is going to hold my DDDs in place high and tight like I like them!  I must admit it took a little getting used to and I felt as though there was a bit too much jiggle.  After trying a different size and various styles and lengths, I have discovered my favorite is the “Original”.  A special thank you to Eileen for being so patient with me!

ALL DAY COMFORT:

In my opinion, the cami is very comfortable.  Unlike other body shape wear that I’ve tried, you can breathe and don’t feel restricted.  By the end of the day, I’m not running into the house to rip it off!

At first, I was a Doubting Thomas!  Where is my fat going to go???  My experience with other shape wear is that you have unusual lumps and bumps in other odd places.  I was thinking my fat was going to be coming out in my armpits.  Not the case!  It smooths your entire torso.  I know there’s some type of science that explains how it all works, but who cares!  I’m smooth without odd lumps and bumps no need for a detailed explanation!  That’s a WIN!

STAYS PUT:

Unlike other shape wear that I have tried, this cami does stay put.  You actually step into it.  The original has adjustable straps, which I love.  The rubber around the bottom of the cami holds it in place; and you wear your underwear over it…well my cami come to my hips. In other shape wear, I would sit down, bend over or move and the whole thing would roll up resulting in constant tugging and readjusting.  This is not the case with Ruby Ribbon!  That’s a WIN!

BYE-BYE BRA:

This thought was just so totally unbelievable to me!!!  However, I am able to be comfortable and well supported in just the cami.  No bra needed.  I do feel the need to state that I still have my bras, which I continue to wear.  Sometimes I choose the Ruby Ribbon especially when I need my body smoothed out.  Other times, I might choose my bra when I’m not concerned about having a super smooth torso – think looser fitting clothes.  No bra – That’s a WIN!

THE RESULTS:

Lori tried on one of my camis during our shopping trip to The Little Red Ribbon.  As you can see the very little amount of back fat that Lor has is smoothed out!  She did not want to give it back to me!  HA!

I would never dream of going out in public with just a tee-shirt on as I’d be way too self-conscious about my large chest and chub!  However, here I am able to do just that because the cami is a smoothing miracle worker!  When I was in the process of figuring out which style I wanted I had several at my house.   Eileen needed me to return them for a show she was hosting.  I about went into a cold sweat thinking I had to give them all back!  LOL  Of course, Eileen let me keep the one I liked the best.  I now own three:  black, white and beige.  I think the next one I’ll order will be the strapless cami especially with summer around the corner!
