With summer comes new needs for shapewear, am I right? We open up our necklines with strapless, one-shoulder and racerback. We put on crop tops (well, I don’t, but lots of women do). We wear… More
Some of our best innovations are in your lingerie drawer
Recently, we’ve taken some of the best innovations in our product and extended it to other items in your lingerie drawer too, including sleeping, nursing, and even Swim!
- We’ve added our slimming and shaping technology to our RR Swim line. You can banish the awful cramped quarters and florescent lighting of department store dressing rooms. Shop in comfort, when and where you want! I can help you select a suit you’ll look great and feel great in, lose and inch from your waist smoothing out your curves with invishapeTM technology and no underwire!
- Our Nursing Cami has an easy one-hand clasp, plus full belly coverage that smooths and trims, all while providing extra back support. You’ll never want to wear your old nursing bra again. You’ll want one in each color – black and pale.
- For sleeping, we offer the Dream Cami, so comfortable you will sleep in it! It features a beautiful lace v-neck and hem and just enough shaping. Shown on the right in the photo and comes in white, pale and black.

Ruby Ribbon Essentials: Wardrobe Staples Made Better
One of our main product categories at Ruby Ribbon is called “Essentials.” These are the modern woman’s wardrobe staples made better with Intomi, which isuur built in smoothing and shaping, designed to give you the long, lean and lifted look.
Essentials are your favorite go to items- the 20% of your closet you wear 80% of the time. Think those black leggings, yoga pants, comfortable dress pants for the office, the dress or skirt you pull out for date night. Or put another way, it’s that piece you love so much that you’ll take the time to launder it, rather than wear a back-up piece. You get the idea.
One of the main things that makes our Essentials unique is the “skinny band,” that gives you just a little extra shaping in the 5-inch waistband. Our clothes come in XS to 3XL and will fit most women. And in our pants and leggings, the sizing is consistent so once you find your size, you’ve found your size. It makes reorders a breeze.
Some of our most popular Essentials include:
Ankle or Capri leggings — a fabric you can’t see through, even when you’re wearing them in white- Ponte Pants in either a Slim or Flare Leg — a basic office pant that just isn’t so basic. In black, mink brown or navy, these pants are as comfortable as yoga pants but always professional looking
- Bootcut Leggings — speaking of yoga pants, we’ve got those too
- Flip Skirt — reversible and can be worn either with the black or the mink brown side facing out. And, in a jersey fabric that washes and travels well

Get the lowdown on Ruby Ribbon tankinis
A big thank you to my friend Carolyn H who took the time to record this snippet videos to help anyone shopping online see the features of each of four different Ruby Ribbon tankini tops.
Any of these tops can then be paired with either the Ruched Bottoms (my personal favorite and I got rid of every other tankini bottom I owned once I tried these) or the super cute Swim Skirt.
Bali
First, let’s take a look at the Bali tankini, which comes in two great prints with a high neckline adorned with a built in necklace.
Bora Bora
Next, Carolyn showcases the Bora Bora, my personal favorite and right now I own it in panther, tropical and black. The front of this top has figure-flattering ruffles.
Lanai
Our third tanking to look at is the Lanai, a tankini that leaves you feeling very supported and features a swing top made for lots of tummy coverage.
Kauai
Finally, check our our newest tankini top, the Kauai. It features a flattering sweetheart neckline and side ruching that ties to let you adjust the length.
Enjoy the videos and let us know which looks like it might be your favorite!

What are the ways to share Ruby Ribbon if you’re a stylist?
Ruby Ribbon Stylists share our clothing and shapewear products through their personalized websites (for example, mine is rubyribbon.com/chargust) and through in-person styling appointments that are either 1:1 or in a group; we call these Trunk Shows. Trunk shows can even be online.
I love holding trunk shows. They are my favorite ways to sell Ruby Ribbon because they are fun, social, and casual get-togethers that last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. (And it’s also where a Stylist can really maximize her dollars per hour.)
We have two types of shows a Stylist can do:
- “Bye-Bye Bra” show that typically lasts no more than 45 minutes and helps every woman ditch her bra
- 90 minute Ultimate shows that show what a woman wears from her foundation-wear to a completed look
Trunk Shows can be hosted almost anywhere…
- Homes
- Offices
- Spas
- Hair Salons
- In my Mobile Boutique parked almost anywhere
Best of all Trunk Shows can happen virtually through Online experiences. Imagine shopping online late at night with the benefit of a personal touch – someone who can give you all the sizing, styling and personal service you need, without having to leave your home! Or, think about hosting a party on Facebook, with my unique and themed online trunk show format that women love.

What’s an Instagram Grid?
Who doesn’t love scrolling through Instagram to check out all the amazing photos that are getting added by the millions every day?
One of the latest Instagram fads is to post your photos so that when displayed in the Grid format, that they tell a bigger picture or story. There are so many amazing grids out there and they also are super fun. The photo above is a “before” picture of my Instagram grid.
This week, I’m starting to do my own Instagram Grid and I thought I would share my Instagram handle (@stylewithchar) so you can follow along and tell me what you think!

Most popular slimming swimsuit now in Ruby Red
One of our most popular Ruby Ribbon swimsuits has been the Riviera, named “universally flattering” in InStyle magazine. Last week, we kicked it up a notch by adding this gorgeous Ruby color option for this suit.
You also can still get it in black, Oasis, Panter and Tropical. In sizes 8-20, the ruching on this suit is your biggest friend. It slims you across the body for an hourglass look, plus this suit also shapes and slims your waist and hips.
Plus, the Ruby Ribbon technology is back to help with your bustline. This suit supports you without underwires. Check out the pictures I shared to show you the flexibility offered with the halter strap tie.
And one of the main benefits of choosing a Ruby Ribbon swimsuit is that we can meet and you can try it on in comfort without the pain of those dressing room mirrors.

Can you see Joy?
Why do some things seem to create such universal joy? This one, one of the podcasts I listened to featured Ingrid Fetell Lee who has been researching Joy. She talks about the the surprisingly tangible roots of joy and shows how we all can find — and create — more of it in the world around us. I wanted to share it with you.
I was intrigued enough by Lee to also find her website, which is a colorful burst of Joy itself. While I may not start decorating my home as a rainbow, I am inspired to think more about how I can use this information. And, it’s so interesting that it’s all backed by science.
I invite you to connect with me for ongoing joyful discussion, join my online community.

I’ve always got black leggings (always)
Black leggings are what everyone wants, right? They are right at the intersection of fashion and comfort. They are everywhere, with varying lengths and unique details and guess what, at Ruby Ribbon, we’ve got them all. All the black leggings, all the time.
Our black leggings go the extra mile for you. They feature the signature Ruby Ribbon “skinny band” at the waist, giving you just a little shaping on your tummy. And they are high quality and will last so long (no fading).
And what a selection. Our options go beyond just ankle or capri? We have details, lots and lots of details. Check out the Criss Cross Capris, my favorite Jacquard Leggings, the Skirted Leggings or even the black Denim Leggings. So. Many. Options. (Which will you choose?)
