I first saw Slimpressions while window shopping on the web one day. My daughter was dreaming about prom that is right around the corner and wanted to look perfect in her dress.

Slimpressions is a terrific product that will help everyone and anyone look great in an outfit they love. Slimpressions helps create the appearance of weight reduction that would help boost the confidence and spirit of any woman.

The Slimpressions helps to make just those right curves in the places where they are supposed to be while controlling those where they are not to be.

Slimpressions come in three different styles to fit three different sizes of individuals.
The Haves helps you control and maintain what God has given you.

The Have nots which helps promote what little you have been blessed with by promoting and adding curves in just the right places.

The Skini minis which allows even the smallest frame to be built up and look great

Slimpressions is owned by a company created and owned by women for women. Who better to know what women need and love.

So whatever body type you have check out Slimpressions. For everybody who has ever wanted to change their body type Slimpressions is for you.

Go visit the Slimpressions website to see where you can buy these great items or order online.
 

I love trying out new body shapers so I when I had the chance to test a target www.slimpressions.com , I was excited.  Most body shapers just address the bottom half of our bodies and neglect the issues women have above the waist.  Slimpressions is a patent-pending line of everyday shapewear designed to slim a woman’s arms, back and midriff.
 
Slimpressions come in sizes 2 to 22 and in a variety of colors including white, nude, chocolate, and black.  They also come in petite sizes which impressed me as most shaper garments seem to forget about petite girls. Slimpressions prevents the dreaded Muffin Top which is when your tummy hangs over the side of your jeans.

Oprah calls Muffin Top, “Dunlap Syndrome;” it happens when your stomach “done lap over your jeans.” :) 

The two versions of Slimpressions I tested were “The Haves” and “The Skinny Mini.” “The Haves” is for us girls who want to put it all back where it belongs.

The garment features gentle compression which smooths and shapes our dreaded “arm flab” and soft cups for comfy chest coverage.  I like that you do not have to wear a bra with this product.

It also has a long torso which is great for me because I am 5′7.”   I tried it in white and I thought it was a little see through so I would probably wear it underneath a cardigan or jacket. 

“The Skinny Mini” features upper body control in the form of a tank top.  The first thing I noticed about this product was that it had adjustable straps which I really like.  I can’t imagine wearing a tank that does not allow you to change the strap size.  Again with this product you do not need to wear a bra underneath.  Some similar products claim to be bra tanks but if you are a big busted girl like me you know they don’t always work.  The Slimpressions does what it says and provides support for your chest area.  It also has a long torso which is a great quality in a shaper garment. 

My first thought about shapewear for the arms was that it would be uncomfortable.  Not so with Slimpressions! I was impressed at how comfortable it felt on. Now getting it on was another story. When you wear Slimpressions, make sure you put the garment on according to the directions which say to step into it “from the top, slide up, adjust through the middle, shoulders, and arms, then slim down!”  I tried to put it on the traditional way over my head which was hilarious.  The Little Write Gal was home with me at the time and I called her into the bathroom to rescue Mommy.  She finally did 10 minutes later after she quit laughing.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "You only get one chance to make a good impression"? Well, that's about all it takes for me... I can try a product ONE time and tell if I love it, or hate it! A few months back, I became obsessed to find great shapewear for gastric bypass patients, or for folks who have lost a massive amount of weight and have hanging skin issues.

I'm pretty particular also. I have spent a lot of money and time searching for these types of products. And to be quite honest, some people don't understand why I do this. After all, I'm a size 4, and surely I don't have a need for shapewear, right? WRONG! I look pretty good on the outside....

With clothes, that is. I have found one thing though... even small people have "issues" with their bodies! Wearing a natural feeling piece of shapewear that works makes me feel BETTER about myself. I also enjoy trying new products and giving "heads up" to people who really do need these types of garments. (I've also been known to stand in the shapewear aisle at Walmart, TJ Maxx and JC Penney looking, and having a customer ask for my opinion on which one they should purchase... so it is nice to know!)

A friend of mine, Rita from Obesity Help, told me about a company called Slimpressions. Evidently it was recently featured in a magazine she had been reading and she asked if I had tried the product. No, I had not, but immediately I emailed the company for more information, and decided to place an order. I came home this week and found that the UPS man had delivered several packages, one being from the Slimpression folks (they get an A+ on rapid shipping!).

I get so excited, almost like a kid in a candy store, when I rip open the packages! So I took them all out of the flat plastics bags and held them up. My first impression of these were, "Wow, that is a great quality fabric!" My second, "How in the Lord's green earth am I going to get my body into THAT tiny thing!?" It looks very small when you hold it up. Don't be fooled! It is very durable and has a nice "give" to it while putting it on.

There is a a ribbed section around the back and tummy panels. Here are the garments piece by piece, and my review.

The garment on the left is called "Have Nots"

The garment on the right is called "Haves"

I could be wrong... but maybe the reason they call this "Have Nots" is because it helps lift up the breast area. You know I have nothing in that department! So the fact that this did not smoosh my breast area was a welcomed plus!

(The other top does not smoosh either... this one just provides a little bit of lift). I think that this would be a great garment to wear with lowcut tops when you don't want a camisole to show. It is made of the same durable, soft material as the Haves garment.

This garment is referred to as "The Skinny Minis"

I tried this shirt on last because I never considered myself to like a tank with strappies. Remember, I was looking for a garment that held in the excess skin on the sides. But, this top was so cute, and I was going out for the evening.

The shirt I had on did not have long enough sleeves to cover the sleeves on the "Haves" or "Have Nots" garment. I opted to give this a try. We went out to supper Friday evening, and this shirt was so comfy! Each piece of shapewear have long enough tales that they tuck well into your pants and DO NOT ride up like some shirts. They stay in place. And, I didn't pull or tug on it all evenings. It felt to me somewhat like a second skin, very natural. And because it held me in so well, I was not self concience of my stomach all night long.

Now when someone calls me "Skinny Minnie", I'll immediatley think of my new shapewear!

I highly recommend giving these tops a try. Visit their website at Slimpressions.com. I am looking forward to hearing more from this company!
