Underwear for Velvet Dress

[Rememory]

Is velvet unforgiving? Can I get away as a lumpy size 14 with decent shape wear or am I kidding myself?

Depends on the actual dress imo.

Anything skater style or with ruching to front would be fine. I'm a 12 and have a few velvet dresses like my first pic. Actually very flattering and comfy.

Anything bodycon in style would be more likely to show lumps and bumps. I have the dress in the second pic and can only wear it when I'm at my absolute fighting weight (i.e. definitely not right now 😲).

Think you can get spanx style thongs if you're worried about vpl?

Thank you Chateau

Of course you can wear velvet! It's one of the most forgiving fabrics of all in my opinion. A good control bodysuit, open fronted for your own bra, and you'll look smoking hot!

I bought this dress. I do have a flat (ish) tummy, but definite wobbly thighs and arse and this dress is the most flattering one I've ever worn. I bloody love it! Good solid underwear though.

It's definitely emerald green though, not teal!

I buy the magicwear bum tum and thigh tights in natural to wear with some dresses. They're so supporting and shaping and I find them a bit more comfortable than some of my support underwear!

@ChateauneufduTwat where is the dress in the 1st pic from?! I love it! OP have also been dreaming about a velvet bodycon type dress for Xmas for a couple of years now but pregnancy and now post-baby chub have got in the way but if it is forgiving with the right undergarments on I'd be willing to give it a go!
