Frequently Asked Questions
Body Contour (Waist Trainer)
Our Body Contour is a unique Waist Trainer, made in Colombia and designed in Puerto Rico. These are specially designed to define and train the waist, more than any other Waist Trainer in the market.
It has 100% Colombian materials of the highest quality. These fabrics are created for high compression garments and allow the skin to breathe. It possesses 19 flexible metal steel bones for better stability, which helps improve posture. Furthermore, an additional waist reinforcement was added to our Body Contour (Waist Trainer), which allows for most of the compression to be at the waist.
Upon acquiring a Body Contour (Waist Trainer), you will obtain the following benefits:
1- Lose inches instantly with the Body Contour (Waist Trainer).
2- Constant use of the Body Contour (Waist Trainer), along with a proper diet and exercise, will allow you to shed inches from your waist and abdomen.
3- Improved posture.
4- Partial or complete back-pain relief.
5- Decreased appetite when used while eating.
6- Accelerates recovery after having a pregnancy and reduces swelling after a cesarean section. (Always check with your doctor when you can use this product after pregnancy).
Currently we have the following two (2) options:
1- Body Contour
2- Body Contour Extreme
They are both the same piece. The difference is that our Body Contour Extreme is the first girdle in the world to strategically possess an adjuster in the back to achieve one (1) to two (2) additional inches in waist reduction than the Body Contour.
1- Body Contour: You can instantly reduce from one (1) to four (4) inches of waist.
2- Body Contour Extreme: You can reduce from one (1) to two (2) additional inches than the Body Contour.
It is important to mention that since each body is different, some people achieve a more defined waist than others.
To select the correct size, the following measurements are necessary:
1- Waist
2- Torso length
Below we will be adding a link to a video showing how these measures should be taken.
Currently we have the following two (2) variants to choose from:
1- Size:
a) XXS- (Underbust: 26”-28”) (Waist: 23”-25”) (High Hip: 28”-31”)
b) XS- (Underbust: 28”-30”) (Waist: 26”-28”) (High Hip: 31”-34”)
c) S- (Underbust: 30”-32”) (Waist: 29”-31”) (High Hip: 34”-36”)
d) M- (Underbust: 33”-34”) (Waist: 32”-34”) (High Hip: 36”-38”)
e) L- (Underbust: 35”-37”) (Waist: 35”-37”) (High Hip: 38”-40”)
f) XL- (Underbust: 38”-40”) (Waist: 38”-40”) (High Hip: 41”-43”)
2- Torso Length:
a) 9”
b) 11”
In order to adapt to the Body Contour (Waist Trainer), we recommend that it be used as follows:
Day 1 - 2 Hours
Day 2 - 2 Hours
Day 3 - 2 Hours
Day 4 - 2 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 5 - 3 Hours
Day 6 - 3 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 7 - 4 Hours
Day 8 - 4 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 9 - 5 Hours
Day 10- 5 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 11 - 6 Hours
Day 12 - 6 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 13 - 7 Hours
Day 14 - 7 Hours 30 Minutes
Day 15 - 8 Hours
Once your body has adapted to the Body Contour (Waist Trainer), we recommend that you wear it for eight (8) to ten (10) hours a day in order to see changes in your waist. However, it is important to note that these changes are only possible with diet and exercise, and that results vary depending on one’s body.
To clean the Body Contour (Waist Trainer), it is recommended to wash by hand or by dry cleaning. So that the product doesn’t get dirty constantly, we recommend buying the liner that goes between the girdle and the skin. This protects the Waist Trainer from sweat and oils produced by the skin.
The following should not be done:
1- Do not tumble dry.
2- Do not iron.
3- Do not wring
4- Do not leave in soaking
5- Do not bleach
The main objective of both products is to achieve reduction in waist and abdomen. The difference is that the Corset Trainer is a rigid piece made to measure that doesn’t stretch, while the Body Contour is created with a flexible fabric specially designed for high compression garments.
Everything depends on what you’re looking for.
If you are looking for a daily Waist Trainer to wear under your clothes that is flexible, the indicated product is the Body Contour (Waist Trainer).
If you are looking for a daily Waist Trainer to wear under your clothes, that is flexible and achieves a more intense waist reduction, the indicated product is the Body Contour Extreme (Waist Trainer).
If you are looking for a more rigid Waist Trainer with a more intense waist reduction than the Body Contour and the Body Contour Extreme, the correct product would be the Corset Trainer.
We recommend that you wear some sort of liner between the Body Contour (Waist Trainer) and your skin. The liner will prevent your skin from becoming irritated and protect the Waist Trainer from sweat and oils produced by the skin.
No, this piece was not designed for exercise.
Corset Vests
A Corset Vest is a vest whose design incorporates elements of corsetry. This garment is designed with patterns ideal for giving your figure a more trim appearance, or even take off inches from your waist measurement, if you prefer.
Our Corset Vests are made with high-quality materials designed to last. Key materials include 8 to 18 bones, depending on the selected style. Furthermore, after selecting the fabrics according to your preference, we proceed to work on them in order to make them resistant to tension.
Aside from their one-of-a-kind design tailored specifically for your figure, Corset Vests help correct posture and decrease back pain.
Absolutely! The purchased garment is made to fit the wearer’s particular measurements, and thus our Corset Vests work with all kinds of bodies.

3 Simple Steps After Buying The Corset Vest: https://youtu.be/dTf_8uI1EsA
Measurements can be taken on one’s own—all you need is measuring tape and a camera. However, it is preferable to have someone who can take the pictures for you.
The purpose of the photos is to ensure that the measurements are correct. If we discover that a measurement has been incorrectly taken, we will request it a second time.
Once the purchase is made and you disclose the colors you’d like, we will search local and online stores for fabrics for you to choose from.
It depends on the amount of orders we have at any given time. Once you make your purchase and disclose the required measurements, we will schedule a week for the Corset Vest’s manufacture, which we will share with you. On that date, we will work on your order. Estimated completion times, based on the current number of orders, can be seen on the website’s product description pages.

1- First installment
Upon making your order, you be asked to pay an initial, non-refundableinstallment of $250.00 to $300.00, depending on the projected cost of the dress, to be paid via PayPal. Once paid, you will be contacted via e-mail, Facebook, Instagram or some other online method in order to discuss the details of your Corset Dress, and to request the necessary measurements, complete with pictures to ensure that they are taken correctly. If you live in Puerto Rico, you may instead schedule an appointment to visit our workshop, where your measurements can be taken and the details discussed.

Afterwards, you return the mock-up. Once the mock-up is returned, you will receive an invoice for the second installment of the payment for the dress and for the mock-up’s shipping costs.
