A Viral Dress and Tips for Wearing a Girdle

Have you ever seen a viral fashion trend and wondered if it could truly make you feel as fabulous as it looks on the internet? I recently encountered one of those trends: a viral sleeveless mock dress from H&M that had taken social media by storm. Skepticism aside, I ordered one for myself to see if it could live up to the hype.

**The Dress That Could Have Been One Size Larger**

While I did like the color, style and length, I thought the dress would have fit better if it was offered in plus-size. I am not sure why companies haven’t just gotten that we, plus-size, just want the same styles offered to standard size individuals. 

I found the dress on a casual run to the store, I couldn’t contain my excitement: I was surprised I had found it honestly.  As I slipped it on, something happened. The dress didn’t just look as good as it did online; it looked alright. I though I would have unlocked a newfound confidence within myself when I put the dress on but I was underwhelmed. I think mainly because I didn’t have a proper fitting undergarment. 

Fashion has the power to be a form of self-love. This dress was a reminder that style isn’t just about trends; it’s about feeling good in your own skin. It’s about embracing your unique beauty and expressing it through what you wear.

**Tips for Wearing a Girdle with Confidence**

But let’s not forget an important part of feeling confident in any outfit: the right undergarments. If you’re considering wearing a girdle with your dress, here are a few tips:

– **Size Matters:** Ensure you choose the right size. A girdle that’s too tight can be uncomfortable, while one that’s too loose won’t provide the desired support.

– **Comfort First:** Look for girdles made from breathable materials to keep you comfortable throughout the day.

– **Focus on Problem Areas:** If you have specific areas you’d like to target, choose a girdle designed to address those concerns, whether it’s tummy control or waist shaping.

– **Practice Makes Perfect:** If you’re not used to wearing a girdle, try it out before the big day to get comfortable with how it feels.

**A Reminder to Embrace Trends**

Trying on this viral dress was more than a fashion experiment; it was a journey of self-love. It encouraged me to embrace trends that resonate with my spirit. Fashion has the incredible ability to empower and uplift us, reminding us to love ourselves for who we are.

The viral dress was more than just a piece of clothing; it was a symbol of self-love and body positivity. It encouraged me to embrace my beauty and to see it shine from within. The next time you encounter a trend that speaks to you, don’t hesitate to try it on. You might just discover that it’s more than an outfit; it’s a celebration of your unique and beautiful self.
