Blush Accessories Review & Giveaway

All my life I have had the hardest time trying to find shirts that fit me. I'm built like my dad, long and lanky. It has it's pros and cons. I don't gain weight easily, but my torso is long! Regular shirts seem to make me look like I want to show my tummy. That is not the case. Then, I wash shirts, they shrink, and it makes it worse. I'm constantly tugging on my shirts trying to stretch them out.

Well, Blush Accessories has really come to my rescue! They sell a topless undershirt. It's like a tube top, but it's worn around the waist. Everybody loves the layered look, but the bulk of wearing two shirts and dealing with extra straps is not fun! With the topless undershirt, it takes that mess away!

It has a tapered shape and it's made of spandex to keep it from slipping. I ordered a medium because that's what I wear in shirts. Turns out that I needed a small. It didn't fit snug around my waist. At least now I know because I WILL be buying some more!

I loved that I could wear a shirt and not have to keep trying to pull it down! I could lift my arms in the air and not give everyone a show! Freedom! :) This shirt is a lifesaver. The fabric is very soft and stretchy, making it very comfortable! I received the brown one, so I will be going back and ordering the black one and the white one!

As I mentioned, they come in black, white, and brown. Sizes are small, medium, and large. Price is $15.99

I'd love to win this because I'm a pretty modest dresser, but it's hard finding cute shirts that are long enough to make me feel comfortable! It seems like a fantastic idea!

Hi,
I have an extra long torso too, and this would work well under the yoga tops I wear, when I teach. No more skin showing in downward facing dog.

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Hey Cara! I'd LOVE to have one of these. Because of my religion, I have an extra set of undergarments that I wear, which makes it kind of hard to find things that are light enough to wear comfortably in the summer, and long enough to look, well, nice. I'm fairly certain that I'd wear this *every single day of my life* if I had one, because it'd go with everything and keep me covered and comfortable :) <3 Diana
