This month we are really spoiling you in the shapewear department.  A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to our new range of Miraclesuit shapewear, this week I am delighted to announce the arrival Naomi and Nicole shapewear.   Naomi and Nicole is another best selling US brand that we simply had to bring to MyTights.com.  They specialise in lightweight shaping and smoothing in styles that are effective and comfortable enough for every day wear and, because of their lightweight feel, I’m sure these are going to become summer favourites.

Owned by the same parent company as Miraclesuit, Naomi and Nicole Shapewear is also finished with the patented WONDERFUL EDGE™ silicone strips which grip your skin and discreetly keep the shapers in place now matter how much you move about.   That means no more tugging at your shapewear through the day – once you have these on they’ll stay put!

Naomi and Nicole shapewear is available in two basic styles – the Rear Lifting Boy Short which offers great tummy control and a boost for your bottom and Amazing Light which offers flawless smoothing for a perfect outline under your clothes so here is my guide to the styles in our newest shapewear collection.

Defy gravity and get your bottom back into shape with the Naomi and Nicole Rear Lifting Boy Shorts.  Available in both waist and high waist version, they have a brilliant band which sits under your bum to lift it to the perfect position.  Made from a powerful mesh fabric, these shapers are deceptively lightweight but don’t be fooled – they have strong tummy control which you will be able to feel and see (for the shapewear connoisseurs amongst you, I’d say this is roughly the same as the control you get from the Spanx’s In Power Line Range).

A double layer of fabric gives strong control around the body while a single mesh layer offers lighter control for the bottom which firms without flattening.  The shapers are finished at the thigh with WONDERFUL EDGE™ so they won’t roll or ride up.  Because they feel so incredibly lightweight, these airy and comfortable Rear Lifting Boy Shorts are my top tip for summer shaping.

Ridges, bumps and rolls from poorly fitting knickers or from the waistband of your tights can be a problem even for really skinny girls.  Eliminate visible panty lines with Naomi and Nicole’s Amazing Light collection.  These silky smoothers have a waistband with an adjustable rise so you can place them on the body where they give the best smoothing effect.  Comfy enough to wear everyday instead of your normal pants, WONDERFUL EDGE™ keeps them in place at the top and at the bottom so there’s no tell tale adjusting of your shapewear.  We love the silky feel and shiny look of these smoothers – fabric just glides off them so there is no cling under your clothes.   You don’t have to be wearing tight clothing to for visible panty lines to show through and add pounds to your look.  Chose briefs, shorts or the half slip from the Amazing Light range to get a completely flawless look every day.

Naomi and Nicole shapewear combines fashion and function to give you the streamlined silhouette you want.  If you have become used to wearing heavier shapewear in the winter, the lightweight but powerful mesh of the Rear Lifting Boy Shorts makes a great alternative for the summer while the Amazing Light Smoothers are so comfortable and give such a great finish you’ll be tempted to replace your entire underwear collection!  You can see the full range of Naomi and Nicole shapewear in the shapewear section on our website.

It’s a big week here at MyTights Towers as we’ve just received the Miraclesuit shapewear range and we think they are going to change the way we view our shapers forever.  With extra firm control across the range and a promise to make you “look 10 lbs lighter in 10 seconds” I can see why Miraclesuit is a household name in the US.  We are sure you are going to love them too.

All of the Miraclesuit range offer extra strong control so they are good brand to turn to when you want a flawless look for a special occasion.  All of Miraclesuit’s products are cut and sew and this means that they deliver really targeted control that will pull you into that hourglass shape.  They are probably the strongest shapewear we stock – stronger even than Spanx’s Slim Cognito range.

Miraclesuit is a family owned brand that has been designing and manufacturing shapewear for women in for 80 years.  They specialise in cut and sew shapers which will pull you into the perfect hourglass shape and they believe this is technique is the only way to get the extra firm control that they are so famous for.

Miraclesuit’s years of experience have also led to innovations like WONDERFUL EDGE™ which stops their shapewear rolling or riding up and the use of special bonded panels to create strong control with minimal seams.    By way of an introduction to the brand, I’ve picked out a few of the products that I think really represent Miraclesuit’s incredible shaping power and passion for innovation.

Let’s start with Miraclesuit’s Soft Comfort Open Bust High Leg Body Briefer, this all in one body suit flattens your tummy, pulls in your waist and smoothes out the annoying rolls that can appear around your bra line.  All this in a tactile and silky smooth fabric that feels gorgeous against your skin and allows you to wear close fitting tops without showing any of the lumps and bumps you can get around your bra straps.  It’s also handy under clingy dresses as fabric just glides off it to give you a smooth outline.  Other open bust shapers often have lingerie style straps that can still cut into your flesh but this has wide straps that are padded slightly for extra comfort.  They might not be for wearing under strappy tops but they will give you a much smoother look under your clothes than those bra straps.

The panty is also cut so that it covers right over to the sides of your bottom so you don’t get any visible panty lines.  At the panty line, the shaper is finished on the inside with Miraclesuit’s amazing, patented WONDERFUL EDGE™.  These hairline strips of silicone discreetly grip your skin and hold the shaper in place so that it doesn’t ride up.    Once you have put the WONDERFUL EDGE™ in place it won’t budge spelling the end of tell tale tugging on your shapewear.

Another of Miraclesuit’s famous shapewear innovations can be seen on the Miraclesuit DSC High Waist Thigh Slimmer.  The zoned control on this shorts to waist shaper comes from special bonded panels that give really strong shaping control but without creating any extra seams that could show through your clothes. Not only does this make the shaper more comfortable but it is a great choice under clingy dresses or very light fabrics like satin or silk.  When you pull this shaper on you will really be able to feel it working on your tummy, waist and down the sides of your thighs. The WONDERFUL EDGE™ silicone strips also appear at the bottom of the short to keep it in place.

Finally, I don’t think we have ever stocked a product like the Miraclesuit Waist Cincher.  Based on the principle of an underbust corset or waspie, this boned shaper does an amazing job at nipping you in at the

waist.  It might not be as flexible and comfortable as the soft shapers I’ve mentioned above, but if you want really, really strong control focussed on your waist and tummy then you simply cannot beat boning.  If you have a special occasion coming up, wear this with a dress that really shows off your waist and you’ll be proud of your silhouette.  Position it just under your bra and it will sit low over your hips so there is no bulging at the top or the bottom.  The boning also has the added advantage of making you sit bolt upright which automatically makes you look more elegant and confident.  I’ve also heard that, because it focuses around the middle, it is a favourite for controlling post pregnancy tummies.

I’ll be the first to admit they aren’t the most attractive looking shapewear garments we stock.  If want shapewear that doesn’t look like shapewear then this might not be the brand for you but what they perhaps lack in good looks Miraclesuit shapewear more than make up for in strength.  When you need some serious pulling in, Miraclesuit is the no nonsense brand you should turn to.  Check out the full range at in the Maraclesuit section of our website.
