Two things make me more self-conscious than anything in the summer — the fact that I love cute, little dresses, but my skin is super-pale (I have yet to learn how to embrace this…), and the fact that I never work-out (I blame this on being a first generation American and having gone to the Lycee Francais for 13 years before going to Cornell — ie I’ve been surrounded by non-athletic euros most my life!), so while I’m pretty thin I’m not toned at all. Solution if you want to look like uber chic Halle Berry? Well for me the answer is wearing semi-fitted white dresses paired with High Waist Briefs with Legs from Lipo in a Box (anyone else see this on Oprah — she featured them twice!).
First layer on these — they’re amazing. Yes they’re not attractive, and yes you’ll def have a new appreciation for what Marie Antoinette era females went through (boy is it a relief when you finally slip these babies off!), but Lipo in a Box has a dozen or so different shapewear items that will make your bum, upper tight area (or whatever your personal trouble area may be), feel so firm people will think you’ve been hitting the gym forever! This is great to slip under a summer dress for some added confidence.
As for summer dresses like the chic ones Halle Berry has been sporting — Check some nice ones out after the Jump!

Wow, this lipo in a box looks cool.
Love that Fendi dress!
LIPO IN A BOX–Have worn it for years and LOVE it!
It is hard to get on but VERY comfortable after it is on……Their breathable material leaves you COOL in those summer dresses.
AND they last forever!
Dawn- how does this compare to Spanx? Which I am obsessed with.
Lipo in a box is a lifesaver. I have worn them for three years now and they aren’t really that hard to get on. Sit on the bed and put both feet in and then pull them up. They are great and I believe they are alot more comfortable than Spanx. I know they last longer than Spanx and are not as hot or tight. The best part is everytime I wear one people that I am with everyday tell me I am losing weight and what girl doesn’t want to hear that. It Oprah says it’s great we all know it’s great….
