Project Gravitas Makes Shapewear Part of the Dress

Project Gravitas offers dresses with shapewear built in that are made in USA.

Ever worn a dress with shapewear underneath that keeps slipping down or up? Or maybe the shapewear under your dress is so tight, it makes it difficult to breath or even sit down? Project Gravitas puts a stop to all that discomfort with a line of beautiful, fashionable dresses that have the shapewear inside the dress.  Last fall, I won a Project Gravitas dress in an Instagram contest after seeing pictures of the dress on their Instagram feed.  From the pictures, I could see the the dresses were very good looking–they remind me of the cut of a Roland Mouret dress.  After I won the contest and wore the Project Gravitas dress I learned how beautiful and slimming the garments really are. 

The Isabella dress from Project Gravitas features a mandarin collar neckline.

The dress I chose from Project Gravitas was the Isabella dress in slate blue. I choose the dress because I fuller in the hips than anywhere else on my body. I have learned over the year that a defined waist and a tailored fit will make a curvy body look slimmer.  The style of this dress with its’ architectural neckline and simple seams, and natural waistline offers a great fit.  The addition of the built in shapewear holds the body in all the right places for a smooth fit.   I love the dress!

Each Project Gravitas dress is made in USA in New York City from luxury Italian fabric patented built-in shapewear lining. The company claims to the first company to create dresses that are made to embrace all body types, with shapewear sewn inside the garment. The shapewear inside stops that nasty problem of wearing control-top hosiery or Spanx that slips as you move.  So once you’re in a Project Gravitas dress, there’s no pulling and tugging after you start moving–your shapewear stays in place.  There’s also no unseemly muffin top rolling over the top of your shapewear and showing through your dress.

Beyond the fit, and the high-fashion styles, there are a few other things I like about Project Gravitas.  Each month, the brand donates 10% of sales of one dress to a different charity. Check out the beautiful red Diana dress (similar to a style, but not price, to a dress designed by L’Wren Scott) on sale for $118.50 with 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the dress donated to the Washington Ballet.   The brand offers free shipping and free returns.   Even though I won one dress from Project Gravitas, I look forward to buying a few more pieces.  The fabrication is quality and the fit is superb.  These garments can take you from the office to a special evening out.

Besides dresses, Project Gravitas also offers a collection of cruelty-free leather jackets, a sleeveless blazer, and a cape blazer,  If you’ve had enough of fast-fashion, and you’re looking for a quality piece designed to flatter, do check out Project Gravitas online.   This is one fashion discovery that I am very glad I learned about on social media.

Disclosure: Project Gravitas awarded me with a dress after I won their Instagram contest.  However, please note, this is not a sponsored post and I am not paid by Project Gravitas for writing about their product.  All opinions expressed here are my honest opinions after wearing the Isabella dress from Project Gravitas.
