I need some assistance with my undercarriage..

[FrayedKnot]

OK.

Big works do in just over a month, and have dug out three georgeous dresses I haven't worn for years, so no need to buy anything new.

I can fit into them all, and have 4 weeks to lose a few pounds - fine...can choose which one nearer the time.

BUT, they are all very clingy and I have a tummy where I didn;t have one before...

I need something underneath to hold it in, and maybe also need something to hold my boobs up somewhere above my navel with 2 of the three dresses at least - one I could wear a bra with.

Any ideas? Has to be ultra subtle and preferably not going to bring me out in a heaving sweat, also nothing that I am going to be worrying about all evening iyswim.

m and s do fantastic control tights. opaque and less so. i prefer these to control pants because you dont get a line where the pants hit the thigh, as it were

I was hoping not to wear tights. Is there anything which holds your tummy in & possibly boobs up but doesn;t go down as far as pants?

I am completely ignorant of support underwear.

You can get tummy panel thongs if you only need light holding-in potential

Hmm.any brands I could look at?

I think what I need is a girdle isn;t it?

I think you can actually get thong backed bodyshapers too

Nancy Ganz ?

Spanx ?

Both supposed to be good brands.

Def recommend spanx, but they are pants as well, but absolutely fab

I am looking at Figleaves, they have a huge selection.

One looked great but had a hook & eye fastening gusset...can you imagine, on a night out
