Hot date looming. FGS someone find me some shapewear that will suck it all in.

And I promise I will keep up with the diet and exercise!

Seriously, have got a hot date next week. I have, ahem, stomachage. Or should that be stomach acreage. The problem area is sort of ribcage downwards. Legs are fine, hips are fine, bum is fine.

Just the stomach. :(

Could you steer me in the direction of some shapewear that will give me a bit of a waist and smooth things out, without being all lumpy bumpy. Preferably something that you can't see under a clingy dress.

Size 16 dear God I shall be back down to a 12 14 if it kills me in the process and 38DD norks.

Ongoing starvation situation here. :(

Probably a bit late on this, but over the hols I was talked into buying this. And I am now converted

It's great under a dress as it also acts as a slip, and you don't get the nork squishage of the similar spanx slip. I also found it gave me a smoother line than the Spanx. There is hook and eye fastening on the pants - so yes it is a return to the 1980's - but amazingly I was still able to do it up again even after a huge meal and copious amounts of alcohol. I also wore M&S bodyshaper tights underneath it, which might also have helped with smoothing things out .

Good luck with the date!
