Have you heard about the Invisibelt? For an instant slimming effect, this clear vinyl adjustable belt lies flat under your fitted tops without sticking out. Adjust it like a bra. To wear, just hold the belt around your waist to determine your desired length. Hold the belt by the adjuster, letting the straps hang long. Slowly move the strip of material upward, through the adjuster, forming a loop. Next, gently pull material through the adjuster and slide in the desired direction. Once adjusted, slip the belt through the belt loops of pants, skirt or dress. Then fit the interlocking pieces together and snap. It fits sizes 0 to 14 and is available at www.invisibelt.com.
