Spanx/control pants under a summer dress

Looking to contain my flabby tummy bum and thighs under a summer dress for a summer event. Don't want them to be visible - do I need white or cream/skin colour? Any recommendations as to which ones are good? I'm a size 14 wanting to be a size 12!

Definitely go for skin colour

Can highly recommend the Skims Sculpting Bodysuit:

Skin colour would probably work best, they do a whole range.

Can you pee in this or does it need to be taken off fully?

I'm a Skims convert! The bandeau bras are amazing in replacement for droopy strapless bras too.

They definitely need to be nude in colour

Skin colour - white is surprisingly visible, even under white. I’ve no idea what the point of white underwear actually is.

Do you really need to be hot and uncomfortable though? You’re as entitled as any thin person to be comfortable on a hot day.

Spanx do these thin ones which work really well. Be careful with some brands as they can roll up when walking! Especially when you go too tight.

I have mentioned elsewhere on S&B going for this as a practical alternative.

You wear your regular bra and knix with it, or not, for a smoother line, assuming you don’t plan to do cartwheels.
