Oh good grief! Isn't it just disgusting what we have to go thru to look "good"?!! Sometimes I just wish I could be like the beautiful Samoan women and just wear a sarong or mumu and a flower behind my ear!!

I got one for my daughter's wedding at Kohls. I don't think it was Spanx...too expensive. I tried one of those high-waisted ones....oh my! After I got done choking myself just trying to get it on and off, I decided it just wasn't for me! (Ya think?) I ended up just getting a panty-like bottom, with longer legs, like shorts. It was basically comfortable and not too hot, even though it was 90* outside. Good luck shopping for those. Be sure and have a sense of humor when trying on though!

Cheaper than Spanx (I tried those too) and do the same thing.
I do remember my Grandma wearing a corset & “house dress” every single day. She said she felt “naked” without it.
