Corsets and control pants

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks time and it'll be full of younger, slimmer, very fashionable girls. I used to be able to keep my end up pretty well but I had a second baby three months ago, so everything is just flopping around. No time to lose much weight so I need to resort to serious underwear cheating. Any recommendations? I'm thinking a full-on corset might do the job and be fun too.

Get yourself to M and S and get the cycling short looking ones - they work wonders Smile.

Hair blow dried if you can.

Bit of a tan if you're into them.

You will look and feel fab - have fun Smile

Proper steel boned corsets are fab, but they are very obvious - I've only ever worn them as a top and I don't see how they would work under something unless it was something that was styled to be worn with a corset.

Hmm that's a good point tabulahrasa. The dress I've got to wear is a floaty thing so I guess it would be rather obvious.

Spanx and M&S on the list to investigate though. Thanks for all the suggestions and the encouragement - back fat here too; what a bugger.

Oh and Debenhams to check out too - missed that - a slip could work
