Shapewear

I’ve a wedding in August and have my eye on a lovely jumpsuit. One size is just a little too tight - I can wear it but it could do with being half and inch bigger! Ext size up is just too big and Ive left it too late to lose some weight sensibly (have had issues with food so don’t need want to crash diet).

Any recommendations for some shapewear that might help - preferably one that doesn’t roll down !

I'm sure you have loads of suggestions for shape wear, TU always gets recommendations. I came on to recommend the jockey slip shorts, they don't exactly pull you in but they do smooth you out and are incredibly comfy to wear.

I have found the vest type work better: what's the neckline like on your jumpsuit?

It has a high neckline with short cap sleeves

Buy the bigger size and get it altered. Shapewear is the work of Satan.

Heist...? I have read good things about the Outerbody...

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 06/07/2019 15:32

Another vote for Heist. It’s allegedly good and even comfortable.

Another vote for alterations, shapewear is the work of the devil.

Didn’t think about alterations - legs need taking up so might go down that route! Thanks all

I like the shape wear that lets you wear your own bra, much more comfortable. But if wearing a jumpsuit and shape wear make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to the toilet!

Hmm lucked makes a good point, I am not sure a jumpsuit and tight control pans are a happy combo for an August wedding. I am sweating just thinking about it.
Maybe rethink the whole outfit.

Going to go with getting the larger size and get it altered! Thanks !
