You can have the best clothes that money can buy, but if you don’t lay the right foundations first that outfit can be ruined.
That’s what mother always told me! And to a degree, I have to agree! I have never scrimped on my underwear, and I do get myself measured every other year too. I think it’s so important to invest in the best you can buy.
I have in the last few years suffered from the dreaded back fat. Always sticking my hand up my top to make sure that bra is making me look the best way possible. But no. Still, folds will appear.
So when Shapeez got in touch and asked me to review one of their body enhancing pieces I jumped at the chance. I was so excited by their concept of ridding of back fat, I couldn’t wait to try!
This is what the leaflet say’s
Shapeez, a pioneer in women’s bra and shaping solutions, today launches in the Uk it’s unique collection of bra’s and upper body shapewear. Support, Sculpt, Slim and Smooth-wearing Shapeez garments and achieve 360-degree perfection.
Shapeez patented design and plush fabrics allow women to experience the utmost support and provides the ultimate fit and freedom of movement, superior to a traditional bra. The four-way stretch fabric evenly disperses weight across the torso to relieve excessive pressure from the neck, shoulders and back improving posture.
This bra came beautifully gift wrapped in a box to store it in. Prior to receiving the bra, I measured myself in the way that was explained to me. It’s a slightly different way of measuring, but it fits perfectly.
The bra cups and front are as smooth as a baby’s bottom, perfect to wear anything you wish with it and the straps of the bra are a little wider than normal, but if you have a fuller heavier bust,then happy days. The back is amazing! The body is amazing!
This is like putting on a vest top but with bra cups. It is underwired for support and lift. I ordered mine in a Nude shade (Can’t go wrong) and It’s as comfortable as wearing a good fitting bra and there’s no tightness like you get with some body shapers. Oh and I can breathe!
Let’s take a look.
I’m going to show the back of the bra. See how smooth it is.
Not a roll in sight! It’s always near my underarm that I get a problem.
One of the things that I like about the Shapeez bra is that the excess that’s smoothed away hasn’t rolled up and decided to make an appearance elsewhere. Does anyone else have that problem?
I’m going to show you a photo of me wearing my regular bra. You can see what I mean about the underarm roll
Can you see that wrinkle of fat? That’s what I’m talking about. Drives me mad! Now, look at the back with the Shapeez.
The whole of my back and front look more trim. This Ultimate Pretty body shaper actually finishes near my bottom. One of the first things that I thought when I tried it on was as soon as I sat down it would roll up. But no. It hasn’t moved at all. And I must say it’s not just the back fat that’s gone. The front tummy looks pretty trim too!
It’s all very smooth at the front too. I have tried my T-shirts with it and you can’t see any sign of the shape of the Shapeez.
But for me, what I’m over the moon about is the disappearance of back fat and a flatter tummy. I would totally recommend this. It’s made a huge difference as you can see. I would like to try one of the Pushup bras that they have available.
There are many different shapes and styles available. Some with lower backs for when you have a low cut back to your outfit. There are even full slips available.The Ultimate Pretty that I’m wearing is pricey at RRP £76.75 but for the Rolls Royce of bra’s I think it’s worth every penny.
Do take a look at the Shapeez site here or you can find them on Amazon here they really are worth a look.

Wow—what a difference, Laurie!
I've always been annoyed by how my bras give me those lines in the back! What a great way to even things out—and it will keep me warm!

Thank you Anna. You most probably have one of the trimmest backs with all that swimming! An envious figure x
Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. I love shape wear

Love those before and after photos. It does seem to work. Bras give me lumps and bumps too. #bestandworst
Thank you! Believe me the difference is amazing! Thanks for stopping by x
That makes such a difference! I so get what you mean about investing in good underwear – I am starting to realise it more! xx Thanks for linking with #bestandworst
Thank you Sarah x
Oh my, what a difference! I never check my back! Perhaps I am walking around looking like a fool!😵😵😵😵😵 I have to check!!!!
I have long hated my little roll Nancy. I have tried so many different bras too. I think this is such a great idea xx
It certainly looks like a bra I could use. Thanks for being the guinea pig.
Thank you Anna! I don't mind being Guinea pig for great stuff like this x
Great review Laurie, this underwear looks great. I could do with one of these :)Thanks for sharing at the Wednesday Blog hop.
Thank you Claire xx
Gosh that really is good! I love smooth bras – one of my pet hates is when you can see the shape and/or fabric of the bra beneath what you're wearing and this is perfect! Love it!

Thank you Suzy.I know what you mean. The site has all different designs and that's one of the things I liked about the Shapeez. But it's that dreaded roll at the back being gone is just great x
I may need to get one of these! I love the result. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Michele. Thank you for stopping by x
Such a lovely smoothly shapely line you are left with, very impressive #Best&Worst
Thank you. It's a great piece x
I have exactly the same problem so this looks like a godsend, particularly if the fat doesn't turn up somewhere else like it does with the dreaded Spanx!
Gail
I'm over the moon with this Gail. And you can breathe in this too-unlike spanx xx
Great piece of equipment Laurie, works well, although I can't really see any fat on you – you look fabulous. I can see the desired effect – great blog post. Jacqui
