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.

What is the sizing like on the wear your own bra slips? X
