They've helped countless women avoid dress malfunctions with Hollywood Fashion Tape. Now, Minneapolis-based Hollywood Fashion Tape Inc. introduces a line of shapewear designed to minimize lumps and bumps. The Hollywood Shapes collection includes a panty shaper, full and half body shaper, a strapless top or dress, cami top and body suit. The undergarments are made of breathable spandex, nylon and cotton. We tried the cami top and liked the longer length, smooth bust and ribbed midriff to shape and slim. It was easier to wriggle into than some, and comfortable.

Prices range from $30 to $70. Il Vostro Boutique at 50th & France is the first local store to sell the line; expect others to offer it soon. Or, order online at Hollywoodfashiontape.com (get a free box of fashion tape with your Shapes purchase through May 31).
