Shapewear big belly

8 replies

lemonmeringuepie1997 · 08/03/2025 14:44

I'm going to probably wear a jumpsuit to an event.
I am plus size with most weight being on my belly.
Despite this the jumpsuit looks ok until I turn sideways!
Any recommendations please for comfortable shapewear that will help?
Thanks.

I am watching ( sorry no help at all but I;m looking for answers )

I have bought a jumpsuit for an event and I am menopausal middle .

I need some shapewear but bear in mind :
I need to be able to remove the jumpsuit and the shapewear to go to the loo.
(Some shapewear is set up for this , or I can pull it to the side )
This will be in a small bathroom without dunking the sleeves in the loo .

And I;ll be on a ship so hopefully not a Force 9 Gale .
But I will be sober .

@70isaLimitNotaTarget - so many things to worry about!

I'm only getting some like big knickers I think - but that come right up to just below my bra.

Perhaps someone will be along with a solution for us!

Out of interest - do you mind me asking where your jumpsuit is from?

I like Skims. (Not a KK fan but the shape wear is excellent quality and reasonably priced.But you need to go in-store (Selfridge's) to try it on with your jumpsuit.

I got the skims thong that is viral everywhere at the minute last week. Ordered it Saturday night it was delivered next morning, from Selfridges, it is blooming hard to get on, I have a small waist in comparison to my butt but it's a struggle. Thong is great cos you can just skooch it to one side when you need a wee. £32 plus £10 postage (but that covers you for a year). I wore it everyday, hand washing at night so I could get it bedded in for my event yesterday. Then I was sick and couldn't go. I am a 12 top and 14 bottom and ordered medium. Google Skims onion ring for reviews.

I also ordered the dupe from Shaper mint, they had two for £32 yesterday with free delivery, theyve not arrived yet but the vests I have of theirs are great. I ordered large in these.

I haven't received it yet but I ordered this from Phase Eight

I love some of the dresses but I thought this is more re-wearable and looks glitzy but not OTT.

Once I've tried it on I might go for big knickers too Grin if it looks to be a challenge for a bodysuit
