What Happened at the Outdoor Wedding
"I wore the mesh waist trainer to an outdoor wedding because I was more scared of my dress clinging to my stomach than I was of being hot. Every time someone pointed a camera at me I'd half-turn and check, and somewhere between the ceremony and the cake I just stopped doing it. When the photos came back, my stomach looked flat in every shot, because the mesh waist trainer kept everything smooth under the dress. That's exactly what I bought it for."
