Shapewear

Can anyone recommend any good shapewear? I’m plus size and fully aware it won’t make me a size 10, but for it to make some difference at least.
I have a wedding to attend in November and would like to feel nice about myself on the day and smooth the lumps and bumps out.

I still use Spanx. I a, yet to be convinced by anything better although a younger person in my work uses the Shein knock off stuff and says it is terribly good

If you intend to wear a dress, I would suggest a control slip from M&S or John Lewis. Similar to this:

They are less restrictive than control knickers, give you a better line and make life much easier when you want a wee.

I recently discovered that just an ordinary short slip (from Amazon) was just as effective as my shape wear shorts and waaaay more comfortable! Game changer!

Thank you very much for your kind replies I’ll shall explore these options further.

Let me know if you find one and where from. I'm such a shapewear addict! lol, I'm a mum of 4 so I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from😀The best shapewear I own however is from SlimlineUk, there was a thread on here not so long ago and a few of the mums recommended them so I ended up buying and I have since recommended them to a few friends as well.

Their shapewears are very effective. You can take a look at them here https://slimlineuk.co.uk/
