Finding the Best Shapers to Slim Your Shape  

 Make your wardrobe go from great to fantastic by choosing the proper undergarments.  Remember what you wear underneath your clothing is as important as what you wear on top.

Alicia Richmond from Chic on a Shoestring gives tips on finding slimming undergarments that will take inches off your waist, hips and thighs. For wardrobe questions or Trip info for New York or Italy, contact Alicia at: www.chiconashoestring.com or like her on Facebook at chic on a shoestring.

Half Tees – www.halftees.com

The half tees with the different sleeve styles are amazing especially in the heat.  These fabulous layering items provide coverage without the bulk. I love the halftees under dresses because you do not see the cami line.
