Shapewear that works for hips

4 replies

I'm going to an event next week and I have bought a dress off vinted. Ive just tried it on and it fits but you can see my hips.

Does shapewear actually work?! My stomach looks flat enough (its kind of ruffled over the stomach so makes it look flat) but I dont like my flabby hips.

My husband says you cant notice them but I'd like some shapewear, however I'm worried I'll spend the night adjusting it if it rolls up or down! Or would a bodysuit work (but then how do I go to the toilet?!)

What do you mean you can see your hips? What do you think is wrong with your hips? Shapewear works to smooth, but it also just pushes any fat around a bit so it won't make them look smaller if that's what you're aiming for?

I want them to look firmer (or smaller but I doubt that will happen)

I was a bit concerned that the shapewear might not work as I suppose the flab has to go somewhere!

I have seen some on Amazon for less than £20 so I might try that. Its a body suit type one.

For a dress I'd use the slip type like the m&s one as it'd make you look streamlined.

I’ve got a couple of shapewear items from
M&S for when I want to be smoothed out and they work really well. Doesn’t push the fat around from my experience just sort of sucks everything in a bit. I’m a size 10 with a small waist and some skirts make my hips look like they stick out a bit and the shape wear really helps to just soften everything. Quite inexpensive at M&S I think I paid £20 for a pack of 2 shorts. They’re comfortable and don’t roll up/down.
