Gloom and DuMi

DuMi Shapewear

“How do you do?” inquires the ample, young damsel.

“Do me,” purrs the provocateur.

“I beg your pardon,” damsel sniffs, turning to walk away.

The provocateur leans in and whispers, “If you’re going to turn that backside on me, at least do it in DuMi, a silky, new shapewear collection that will smooth your curves and keep you looking sharp.”

Sneaking a peak at her generic thong, the damsel wonders if it would be possible to leave her comfort zone.

“One day in the sexy, lace-trimmed, leopard-print boy shorts; sculpting tank; or bike shorts and you’ll never go back to cotton.”

“Well,” exclaims the damsel with a wink, “I guess the change is long over-Du.”

Available at Sylene, 4407 South Park Avenue, Chevy Chase (301-654-4200 or sylenedc.com). To see styles, go to du-mi.com.
