--By Kimberly Turner

What woman doesn't love a trend that makes her look shapely by holding in her tight in all of the right places? Well, that's exactly what these dresses do if you buy the right ones.

I am sure you have seen the style all over town and you might not be sure where to get one and/or if you should even copy the look. Understandably, because some women look GREAT in them -- sleek, expensive and shapely but some others...uh, not quite right -- ill-shaped and cheap. Well check out the video and I will give you three tips to make sure you fall into the sleek, expensive (but not broke) and shapely group by:

  1. Telling you where to get the right ones for the right price.
  2. Giving you parameters for the length.
  3. Recommending what to pair them with.

Now you've got the tips to wear this trend with confidence. Enjoy!
