I toyed with shapewear 10+ years ago, found something that worked for my wedding dress (high waisted tummy control pants, nothing more)
I always struggled to:
Get the bloody things on
Especially go to the toilet
I end up bloated with trapped wind because of the tightness.
Surely all the instagrammers aren't spending 10 minutes getting things over their thighs? (Tbf I have v chunky thighs)
Anyway, I have 2 dresses I definitely need smoothing under. One is a giant black jumper dress (why so clingy? Don't ask me but it is cute) other is a slinky green velvet one that would be fab for one of my Christmas parties but really showed where my pants dug in when I tried it on (maybe I just bought the wrong size!)
I am about a uk size 12 and quite squishy. Please help me find something comfortable but smoothing??
