Waist cinchers: What Katie Did or Rago are the only two I do/would use myself (I prefer WKD, but know many who prefer Rago)

Bras: 1) sounds like you need to get yourself fitted, or measure yourself - your back and future boobies will thank you if you do this (but please stay away from Victoria's Secret!) 2) then get either a good strapless bra and/or a good merry widow/bustier (see WKD & Rago again)

Shoes: I get my shoes from Irregular Choice, and high street stores, but then I have to have at least a 4" heel, and I'm usually well catered for there.  I know I *can't* walk in Miss L Fire shoes though, because they're really low :)

For waist trimming I would recommend a steel bone waist cincher. I love my Playgirl cincher, only took a month to season. I purchased it through Amazon. Cinchers and corsets can be better in regards to removal...you can take it off in a sexy way without having to wiggle and struggle out of it. A cincher paired with a strapless bra brings unbelievable clevage. Additonally, if you wanted to go braless the top of the cincher/corest would act as an underwire bra.

But if you don't want to get into corset training ( though i highly recommend the slimming effects) the Merry Widow Corselette is the way to go. **See picture below of a 1952 Vogue ad for Warners lingerie. The left side of the image shows the dress and the right shows the undergarment that you should wear underneath**

I like What Katie Did, via Amazon. They are comfortable, great quality, and look super sexy. 

PUG wise, check out this image. It is a Rago girdle paired with a strapless bra. It looks sexy and gets the job done.Not a huge fan of Rago, it is cheaper and tends to fall apart fast. 

Shoes: I recently started wearing shorter heels because of my new job. Some great PUG shoes under 4 inches are: Tiki Shoes. They are 3 1/2 inches with a thicker heel for more support. The bronze are surprising versatile and (dare i say) tikitastic. Pump and Circumstance come in a few different colors, 3 1/2 inches of classic-ness for work and play. 

Hope this helps Tori!

xoxo,

Margaux

check out BAIT shoes, they have a lot of super cute shoes with low heels, they all have a vintage look to them and I have read a lot of great reviews from them, I have read when you buy your size they are snug and to wear thick socks with them for a little while and they will stretch to fit your foot.

You could look into Orchard Corset for a waist cincher, they also sell shape wear from Rago too, but I just bought a corset from them and it is great quality, you will have to season it though before wearing full time

I purchased a waist cincher with garter straps from WhatKatieDid and I love it; I got it on sale which was even better.  It's not as strict as a corset but it did take 1-1.5 inches off my waist and it smooth's out the lines.  I highly recommend their website.
