History of the Body Magic Shaper

The line of body shapers at Ardyss International, including the Body Magic, have taken shapewear to a whole new level. Developed by orthopedic surgeons, Ardyss' shapewear has more than just attractive looks , but health and wellness benefits as well. Body shapers or shapewear have been around for quite some time.

How long we do not really know, but we do know that for centuries women have jumped through all kinds of hoopsto highlight their most attractive features and conceal their worst features. They did this so that they could be more alluring to men or simply to look better than other women. Women all over the world, from Africa to South America, have a similar history of wrapping their tummies after childbirth. In these countries, long pieces of cloth were used for wrapping, which had the same effect as wearing a corset.

Corsets became popular around the 1500s, as was shown by the portraits of that era. Around that time, corsets were made from iron, wood, or whalebone, and were not at all comfortable. Over the next several centuries, wearing a corset lost its appeal throughout the western world, as tastes changed in regard to what body type was considered more attractive.

Jumping to the early 20th century, the bra was patented in 1914 and with the invention of Lastex which was latex made into fabric; metal boning and whale bone were discarded from bras and products like the girdle came into being, which was used to hold up thigh high hose and flatten the stomach. A girdle is an elastic undergarment designed to shape and smooth a woman's figure. In addition, during the 1900s, when women sought equal rights, corset wearing became more of a subculture and fell out of favor in mainstream society. However, girdles were an undergarment staple for many generations to come.

Recently, girdles, and other shapewear have made a resurgence as many women see the advantages of reshaping their abdomens, as well as recovering quicker after having a baby. Today, the latest in girdles are created from a single item or mix of nylon, Lycra Spandex or Powernet. Garments made from these materials or a mixture of them have proven to be some of the most comfortable and durable shapewear that's ever been created. These materials are light and easier to wear and have the ability to contour and shape the body just as well as their predecessors.

The Ardyss Body Magic body shaper is designed by an orthopedic surgeon to reshape the body by reducing it up to three dress sizes while accelerating the process of weight loss. Ardyss implemented orthopedic principles to fine lingerie. Instead of using iron ribs or rigid pieces that could be hard and annoying, Ardyss replaced those items with bands and with elastic materials, such as Powernet. As a result, the garments deliver orthopedic benefits, and are comfortable to wear as well. The Ardyss Body Magic also does what is called "Lipo Transportation."

The term "Lipo Transportation" was adopted to describe the process of moving fatty tissue from one part of the body to another. This is the method where fatty tissue is moved from where it is not wanted to where it is required. The reshaper works by lifting and rounding a woman's bottom, reducing the waist, tummy, underam, and back fat, and lifting the bosom. It gives a woman an overall smoother hour-glass figure. This garment is perfect for the times women want to fit into that "special" dress in the back of her closet that she thinks she can no longer wear.

The Body Magic is also perfect for strengthening the core of the female skeletal system as it promotes correct posture of the spinal column. Not only does it make a woman look slimmer, her body will acquire a poised and confident carriage. The Ardyss Body Magic gives an instant tummy tuck, breast lift, rounded, fuller-looking bum and great Posture, all without diets, exercise, pills or surgery!

Ardyss produces over 20 different high quality body shapers and reshaping garments, including body suits, corsets, vedettes, support bras, panty girdles, and even abdomen t-shirts and corsets for men.
