This is the first in a series of Red Carpet Ready articles bringing you M&C's picks for top fashion and beauty finds for the red carpet season. These products are tried out by us and perform extremely well. As always, we love to feature made in the USA items, and celebrate American small businesses:
One of the most important decisions for an event is selecting the correct shapewear for the job.
Red Carpet season is here and the stars are dressed to impress, however, no outfit is complete without the bare necessities.
There is a confidence boost to donning the right figure-flattering undergarment, and American company OnGossamer of Florida has the latest in fashion technology fabrics and designs combined with the sexiest, most flattering looks that won't have you embarrassed to be seen in shapewear out of your dress.
So, how does shapewear work it for us?
Properly fitted undergarments, especially bras and slimming slips actually improve your posture, your confidence, and the way you even carry yourself. The sleeker physique boost allows anyone to feel better instantly in a skin baring dress. OnGossamer uses the best materials in sewn and knitted together designs that maximize strategic nips and tucks in the body between the knees and shoulders.
OnGossamer shapewear is engineered to funnel excess weight to more sexy and appropriate place like cleavage and rear end. Their designers create lines that enhance curves in those perfect places and minimize unwanted bulges. Hosiery-style seamless knitting, by contrast, tends to flatten curves. Their technology, fabric, stitching, and high-quality designs eliminate painful bunching and allow anyone to look their best for any occasion. Shapewear properly fitted also enhances circulation and provides support to muscles and backs too.
OnGossamer offers a full lingerie wardrobe of bras, panties and shapewear that eliminate unsightly lines while smoothing, contouring and lifting in all the right places to ensure best results. Their modern collection of lingerie must-haves include low-rise bikinis and hip g's, bras that bump, contour and support to camisoles and bustiers that take you out on the town.
Seasonal collections are luxurious, sensual, hip, modern lingerie must-haves in gossamer mesh, cabana cotton, lace and modal, from barely there nudes to the trendiest colors.
Must-haves:
OnGossamer’s Mesh Seamless Strapless Bra and OnGossamer’s Mesh Hip G:
The OnGossamer Mesh Seamless Strapless Bra dips lower in front and back to stay invisible while providing just the right amount of support where you need it most and with light weight silicone edging to ensure no slippage, you won’t have to worry about embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.
The OnGossamer Mesh Hip G is a low rise seamless superfine mesh trimmed panty that offers the full coverage of a thong in the front and minimalistic g-string in the back to ensure that panty lines are a thing of the past and that you look smooth and flawless, no matter the occasion.
Refined RaceRBack
A simple yet chic look like Katie Holmes’s racerback gown requires clean lines and invisible undergarments. To pull off this elegant look, the OnGossamer Lavish Lace Bra offers convertible adjustable straps that convert to a racerback with a unique j-hook design that connects your straps at the center – giving you more lift and keeping everything in place under even the most challenging of dresses.
The OnGossamer Slimmers Slip
Best investment for the season: In nude or black, this is a perfect way to ensure that you look sleek and slim even if your red carpet dress is a little on the revealing side. With a low cut front and figure-flattering, smoothing fit, the Slimmers Slip is designed with soft but slimming power mesh and uniquely engineered edges that stay put and allow you to move without roll-up no matter what the occasion. The OnGossamer Slimmers Slip disappears under even the most form-fitting styles and is chic way to make you feel secure and sexy throughout the evening!
The OnGossamer collection ranges from $16.00 to $85.00 and is available online at www.OnGossamer.com as well as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and specialty boutiques nationwide.
