Best shapewear?!

Hi all
Looking for something to hold me in and smooth me down under a dress for Christmas do. Ideally want one of the "wear your own bra" bodies - as the knickers always roll down, so thought this may combat that and the dreaded back roll!
Was looking at something like this from M&S: www.marksandspencer.com/firm-control-waist-sculpt-spotted-wear-your-own-bra-slip/p/p22375458

but how could i wear knickers/tights with it?! Is it best to go for one with built in knickers, but then going to loo will be a nightmare!

Those slips are brilliant. You just wear tights underneath as normal.

I've found the same slips on ebay much reduced and new a couple of times now, so worth a look

thanks for quick reply! can you walk in them - just thinking do they hold your legs together so tight you walk like a penguin!?

No, they are very comfortable to wear so you can walk normally

Spanx are by far the best and most comfortable imo. They're expensive but tk maxx often have them.
