Corsets, girdles and low back bras help

Help I am getting married in December and the lovely woman who altered ny dress told me to buy a girdle - not only does it hold you in but makes your posture look better. So any recommendations please Blush .
I need as much pulling in help as I can get Sad.
Also in need of a low back bra but preferably with straps - trusty M&S has nothing - more advice needed.
Have also seen the esbelt corset - will this work as a girdle?
And what are spanx tights like?
Please can someone point me in the right direction Blush

There are some lovely ones here stockings hq and Playful Promises has some very pretty retro styles too - I have a chemise with suspenders that gives a very good line that I got from them.

Thanks for the link higgle, I must say my eyes were watering at the thought of squeezing myself into some of those creations but needs must.

For my wedding, I had bra strap extenders from Figleaves called 'low back bra converters' that hook on to a normal bra and pull them down. Worked a treat!

I have a function to go to next month with a very clingy low backed dress. I can't go braless and need something to hold in my tummy a bit, and the only thing I can find online so far is this scary looking thing
Cannot deal with a wedgie though so the search continues for me too...

Sorry about the delay in replying have had internet problems.
Biscuitbreaker - yes I just came across those also - I think that's the way to go, thanks for recommending them.

BooBooglass - that looks likeit has the potential to painfully wrong Grin. But it would solve all my problems in one go - not sure if I amm brave enough.
