How do you stop tight s bumps and bulges under jersey dresses?

[BaronessBarbaraKingstanding]

Does anyoe have a solution for this?

Even if I wore knee to bra control pants for a 'smooth siloustte' (which i won't cos I hate them) I'd still need to waer tights,and although I am quite slim(ish) I always get a slight but perceptible (to me anyway) over the tights bulge and the ridges at the fornt and back where the seams are can be visiabe.

I havw pondered ths for a nuber of years with no successful resolution, so thought the knowledgable ladies on style and beauty may finally slove this for me.

i think a solution may be: tights which go up to your bra, but thes don't exist do they?

I want to know too.

wear a size larger than usual ?

it depends how tight. When I was pg and wore a kind of smocky jersey dress it didn't show much as it was quite loose below the boobs, I mean slightly empire.

The more fitted ones I have trouble with now - especially since having ds2 I even hate wearing jersey tops. I used to rely on thema nd now am stuck as they kind of show anything underneath that isn't perfectly toned.

I am thnking of under quite fittde jersey dresses, which are flattering on me apart from all the tight bulge and outline.

You need one of these. Just the ticket.

Sorry

If I wore a larger size I imagibe they'd be too long in the leg and would wrinkle and/or start falling down. Could be wrong though, has this been the answer for anyone?

yes, that's why I suggested it

but I am 5ft 10 so never really have the problem of tights being too long

Looking at that website, spanx do tights that go up to your bra!!!!!

I've found the holy grail!!

I don't think the all in one slip would do me as I'd have to wear bra and tights with the slip and that is all too much.

I'm going to try the tigts though, even if they are v expensive, if they work and are comfortable they'll do the trick.

anyone tried spanx? I tries control pants from mandS once and hated them, are spanx better?

Dont have spanx control pants or tights so cant comment on them. The slip I linked to and the slip/skirt things are great though, so I think the quality is OK.

Do you hav the half slip? I was looking at that and wondreing if it could be worn over tigts to smooth out, but would I get a bulge over the top?

I am pregnant at mo and found maternity leggings that go up to under my bra are the only thing to hide the bumps and bulges (not that there is any hiding the bump- but it doesnt cut bump into two bulgy halves IYSWIM?)

I can't wear tights but I imagin you want tights that go up to your bra and even if you are not pregnant maternity tights would probably do the trick which maybe a bit more comfy to wear than spanx.

Erm, surely if you can see the seam of your tights, you need to go up a size in the dress?

stockings.

I know the feeling, I always look pregnant in tights as it "rounds" my belly off lol

these are good but rather £££. Wolford fatal are also seamless.

stockings can work but are hard to get in higher denier.

Fine jersey which lies flat across your stomach will show up bumps from underwear underneath. It'd even do this if I weant up a dres size and then the dress would also be too big.

Seamless tights are good but don't solve my bulge over the top/cut you in half look, I think high waitsed may be my solution for that.

what I rally need is seamless high waisted tights. Anyone??

£2.90 leggings from Primark, not too tight and sit easily on your pantline, worn with boots.

Not sure the skirt slip would be the answer tbh - just as likely to give you a bulge if you get one already with tights. Full slip would smooth down the 'tights line' I think.

I got some "body shaping" tights from m&s and some from asda which go up a bit higher than normal and am happy with the result under my knitted dresses

Also spray your tights or whatever you're wearing underneath with hairspray - stops the jersey clinging

spicemonster thats brilliant - thanks!

I am 5ft (between a 10-12) and always buy bigger tights, never had a problem with them going all Nora Batty on me.

I feel sorry for tall people who have to put up with stingy tights, with large tights I get more density, more stretch and I can wear them under my bra strap, much more comfortable than on the waist line, no bulges, no uncomfortable control pants.

Tights under your bra strap? Genius. How I wish I'd thought of that before!

They should make longer in the body tights with a little clip at each side to attach to a bra.

I have the same problem. I just buy bigger tights and pull them up to my ribs. Some brands roll down but have found that the cheapies I bought in Tesco last week stay up.

I've also found that cutting the waistband on each side of a pair of tights stops "The dig". Becareful when pulling them up though as some brands tear at the cuts.

When I'm out with my tights pulled up to my neck or a pair that've been doctored with a pair of scissors I'm really careful crossing roads and things. Would be so embarrassed if I was carted off to A&E.
