Shapewear

I've got a dress that would look better with shapes wear under it to create a streamline look.

What's the best thing to get and from where?

Thanks

As it’s for a dress try a M&S control slip. It gives a nice line and if you wear a bra with the dress you can wear one of your own.

lt is also more practical than Bridget knickers when you go for a wee!

@StarlightLady

you said it. I have no idea why more shaperwear does not have a split crotch for easy wee time!

Thanks

OP, in answer to your later question, I find the control slips work for me, give you a better line than any shaping knickers and don't ride up. And comfortable. But we are all different so I obviously can't guarantee they will work so well for you. You only have choice of black or a disgusting "beige gone wrong" colour though. The latter makes your body look as if it's made of cardboard. I've always gone for the black. The slips also make me feel less Bridget like than huge knickers do too.

@Worriedaboutethics - Most things with a split crotch inevitably come with poppers and if you are not careful after a wee, it's easy to deflower yourself all over again 🙄. Ouch is the word. There's a reason why my grandmother wore open bottomed girdles.
