It’s been six weeks and my body is still hanging on to a lot of baby weight. Unlike so many moms I’ve spoken to, nursing does not help me lose the baby weight. In fact, it wasn’t until after I stopped nursing my son that I started losing those last stubborn pounds. I never imagined I’d be excited about wearing shapewear. But it’s something I won’t leave the house without these days.
Last week I told you about Annette shapewear’s Secret Weapons line. Diva Defined is another line from the same company, offering women the flexibility of adjustable shapewear (a concept that is new to me). The line definitely provides more coverage and support than their Secret Weapons line. The pieces feature hook and eye closures (much like a bra) so you can adjust the amount of control you desire. Here is a bit more information about the line from the company:
The Diva Defined Collection celebrates the real beauté of the female figure, bringing her confidence and comfort. The revolutionary concept of adjustable shapewear allows users to alter the degree of control to dress fabulous and look flawless day and night! The invisible inner belt is flexible enough to fulfill a Diva’s dreams, customizing her body’s shape to suit her desires.
Diva Defined is comprised of boys shorts, briefs, and camis. This is the line you will want to wear if you need a decent amount of control (think…little black dress!). Each piece features an invisible belt with three degrees of control (light to firm). This line provides more support and keeps everything tucked in a bit better than their Secret Weapons line without being uncomfortable. The only question I have is whether or not the nylon/lycra blend gets hot in the summer.
I like that the camisoles are supportive enough to be worn without a bra. The line is seamless so no one has to know how you fit into that little black dress right after having a baby. Overall I like this amount of support when I’m wearing something fitted like a dress. I think pieces could be used daily, depending on the type of clothing you wear. Pieces from the Diva Defined collection are available for purchase directly on the site and retail for $47-$79. For more information on the line, check out their video.

Nursing does not help me at all!
I am so glad to know I’m not the only one! I have nursed three babies and can not lose weight until after I’ve weaned. I did not get pregnant until after I stopped breastfeeding the first three times and so was fortunate to lose all the stubborn baby weight before concieving. Unfortunately I am now 19 weeks pregnant with #4 and still nursing my son. This is the first time I have gotten pregnant while nursing and so I still had “milk making fat” on me when i concieved (20lbs of it!). I’m scared what I’m going to look like after this baby. I’m going to need some shapewear!
These look wonderful… thanks for sharing.
And don’t feel bad, I’m STILL trying to get the baby weight off, and my baby is going on 19 YEARS old next week… 🙂
{You think I can REALLY use that as an excuse and still get away with it?}
