Three cheers for Spanx
Not so much the original mid-thigh shapers, called Power Panties. But I won’t be without the capri styles, which smooth and suck it all in from waist to mid-calf. They’re great in the winter. Spanx tights are awesome, too. Ditto the control top fishnets. And let’s not forget Bra-llelujah!, which banishes visible bra lines and back fat.
The products number more than 100 – from bras and panties to camisoles and bodysuits to hosiery and slips. All this from a woman who cut the feet out of her pantyhose to wear with open-toe shoes and pants and decided she might be on to something.
What a success story. Sara Blakley, who founded the company, even took Spanx to the masses with her Assets line at Target. To read Sara’s story and check out all the products, go to www.spanx.com.
