Sheer Slip debuts just in time for Holiday Parties
As you plan your outfit for the holiday events coming up, I’d like to introduce you to our newest slip, the Sheer Slip.
Modeled after our Sheer Collection camis, this slip features a beautiful v-neck with picot edging. And the adjustable straps can be crossed if you need a racerback.
Like all our slips, you can expect the following from this slip:
- Support without underwires
- Molded cups to ensure you don’t have the dreaded “uniboob” (and the best part is that no bra is required)
- Variable compression for support and comfort
- Wicking fabric to keep you cool and dry
- Invisible gripper edge at the bottom to keep your slip in place all day (wear over hose or on bare legs, no worries of movement)
- Support for all cup sizes (32 to 44 bra sizes)
- Choose black or pale
Pair this slip with Ruby Ribbon Shaping Briefs, lightweight Boy Shorts or the On-Waist Thigh Slimmer to create your smoothest look. If you plan to wear a dress this holiday season, put this new Sheer Slip on your “must have” short list.

Tips to Rock the Holidays (and Black Wednesday!)
I just wrapped up an online event where some friends of mine and I shared tips to help you take on the holidays with grace and ease. We gave tips on fashion, travel, cleaning, beauty, wellness, food and more.
I invite you to check it out and interact with others who are enjoying each post. I know I learned a lot in just 30 minutes.
One of the posts that I shared was this one about taking the worry out of holiday party dressing by wearing a Little Black Dress (aka LBD). When you wear an LBD, you’ll be dressed on-point no matter what the dress code is. You might even already have an LBD in your closet.
Pair it with something sparkly or festive and of course, your best black heels.
And, great news, the two of the LBDs featured in this graphic are part of our Black Friday (er, Black Wednesday) sale that starts tomorrow (Nov 21, 2018). The Wrap Dress (on the left) will be 70% off and the Fit and Flare Dress (on the right) will be 50% off. They will go fast so shop early (like on Black Wednesday).
Not only are these two little black dresses on sale, but we have our Sheer Collection camis also on sale (midnight blue, purple, silver and kiss red), plus a variety of other clothing and shapewear items ranging from 20-70% off.
If you have sizing or product questions, message me and I can help.

Quality Leggings Make a Difference
What’s the old saying…. “You get what you pay for…..?” It’s oh, so so so true especially when it comes to key fashion pieces.
Leggings for instance, the cheaper they are, usually the “thinner” or more see-through they are, fade faster, fabric pilling occurs, and a few washes later and your money is down the drain.
Great leggings should be thicker, flexible, resilient and have some spandex to smooth any flaws (say “bye bye” to your situation areas).
Whether you are working out, dressing up or dressing casual- a great pair of quality leggings can tighten, smooth and flatter all shapes and sizes!
Here are a few of my client’s favorites:
- Denim Leggings — in black or dark blue, with working back pockets and our signature “skinny band”
- Vegan Leggings — dressing up was never this fun, in a beautiful sable color. The flattering cut elongates legs with tummy shaping too
- Colorblock Crop Leggings — Strategically placed color block design will flatter while you’re working out. These leggings feature a back zip-pocket big enough for your phone and wicking, movable, durable fabric

Blogger shares opinion on New Ruby Ribbon Nursing Cami
Thanks to JJ over at bellyitchblog who tested out and shared her thoughts on the new Nursing Cami from Ruby Ribbon.
Here is just part of what she said, “It was easy to release the snap to nurse her baby boy. The fact that the cami has a wire free nursing bra sewn in makes the cami wearable underneath a sweater, blouse or shirt. It has compression fabric that also does wonders to smooth and trim the tummy area. The compression also helps to support the back.”
With an easy one-hand clasp, full belly coverage that smooths and trims, all while providing extra back support, the Nursing Cami does it all. You’ll never want to wear your old nursing bra again.

The Power of a Great Belt
No matter what your body shape is, the perfect belt can give you curves in all the right places! Use a belt to enhance and flatter your look.
Here are tips on how to wear a belt for your body shape (from my friend Sunil):
Apple – Soft knit belts or cord belts tied to the side create an illusion of a waist without emphasizing it. Never wear a belt across your mid section and stay with colors that match your outfit.- Pear – Choose a mid-width belt; avoid anything skinny or very wide. Stay in the same color family as your outfit and wear it slightly lower on your waist.
- Pencil – Avoid anything too wide; wear it at your true waistband create a soft blouson effect by pulling at the fabric on top.This will give the effect of soft curves and is very flattering.
- Hourglass – Belts are great on you and you should be wearing them almost all the time. They should always be worn at the middle of your waist and the smallest point and dark colors flatter you best.
Not only will a belt enhance your shape, it can be a pop of color that accents your waist over an all black ensemble or a neutral colored belt to cinch in your waist as an accessory, too.
In any season, a belt can be the perfect accessory to a shirt, dress or high-waisted pants. It can make you feel “thinner” on those bloated days and/or give you the curves you are looking for all while being fashionable, too!

You get some ✨sparkle, and you get some sparkle✨ and you get some ✨sparkle!
One of the best gift items we have right now from Ruby Ribbon is the new Sparkle Scarf. Women of nearly any age will love it, especially those that like the on-trend rose gold metallic.
In an oatmeal heather color, this scarf will go with so many outfits. Wear it over a sweater for a cozy winter look. Or, use it with a coat (any color, really) as an outwear scarf. Or, wrap it around yourself like a shawl for the perfect additional layer over nearly any top, or even a dress.
This scarf can only be described as extra cozy and it’s also super soft in a knit that feels like cashmere. It also feature rose gold sparkly nailheads scattered across it.
Here’s a link to all my posts showcasing the 2018 Winter and Holiday Collection.
