Shapewear that actually shapes?

5 replies

Amithatbad1 · 18/12/2023 11:05

Hi everyone,

Looking for an all in one piece of shapewear. Needs to be :
Strapless
Provide a decent cleavage
Stay up! (36E)
Flatten the stomach
Create a waistline
Lift the bum
Not too expensive
Comfortable
And with a way to go to the toilet without removing whole garment!

I know I'm probably asking the impossible!
I'm wearing a fitted satin dress so want to eliminate any bumps. Lost my waistline to menopause and even though I'm working on this, I'm not expecting miracles in 3 weeks. Too big boobed not to wear a bra and dress is off the shoulder.
If anyone has bought shapewear that has actually shaped them, could you please share your recommendations?
Thank you

This? You could wear an actual strapless bra under it for more support? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joyshaper-Shapewear-Strapless-Sculpting-Bodysuits/dp/B0CJHLZTN6/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=strapless%2Bbodysuit&qid=1702908998&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1

I needed the same as you a couple of years ago and couldn't find it. 34E

SO i bought a spanx 'over the ribcage and down to mid thigh' all in one thing, and then sewed a couple of poppers to the top of it and attached it to the band of my strapless bra to stop it rolling down.

I wore a red slightly sparkly 'Jessica Rabbit' dress over it and it looked a million dollars. It was tricky to go to the loo though - i only put myself through it once during the evening ... 😂

Thanks Laiste!
So you didn't buy the one in the link but bought Spanx instead?

Thanks Mumof4lovelies!
I'm a mum of four as well so you may understand why I need one!
It's certainly got great reviews. So is it comfortable to wear as well as doing its job? How did you find it size wise? Did you size up/down? How was the toilet situation?
Thanks
