This season’s architectural coats, slim pants, and body conscious dresses may have you lusting for fall fashion. However, unless your name is Heidi, Naomi, or Kate, you may need a little help making your frocks look fabulous!

Respected intimates and swimwear retailer Sylene in Chevy Chase has you covered. They offer every item imaginable, for whatever problem area you may have: cami shapers, briefs, and waist cinchers. With over 30 years in the business, Cyla Weiner and her fitting experts are known for their personalized attention in helping you find the perfect product

The runways saw the return of lady-like dresses, and body skimming sheaths require slips to pull off a flawless frame. Spanx, probably the most well-known body shaping brand of all (thanks to Oprah), makes a full slip which smoothes your body from below the bra line.

Yummie Tummie shaping tanks are unique in that they are designed to be seen! Created by a woman for women of all ages shapes and sizes, Yummie Tummie will visibly slim, shape and smooth you. It hides the lumps that would show through your shirts.

The basis of this unique garment is an everyday comfy cotton tank with an added moderate-control microfiber fabric panel in the center. It smooths your belly and trims inches off your midsection. Since the top and bottom are made of breathable cotton, it looks perfectly normal peeking out underneath a tee, jacket or sweater. You can wear it everyday under a layer or on its own. Another great and unique feature of Yummie Tummie is that it does not compress your bust area like so many others. It gives you options, because you can wear it like a layering piece or tuck it in to your jeans. Remember, Yummie Tummie is designed to be seen – no one will ever know you’re wearing shapewear!
