Shapewear!!!

I bought some from Shapermint & love them!

I’m saving this post! I’ve been stressing over finding good shapewear the last two days 😅😫

Spanx! And a bodice/corset bra. If you’re lucky like I am you have an independent lingerie store nearby. I went in and told them I needed wedding shapewear and they were brilliant to work with!

View Quoted Comment Which ones ! i’m strugglin

View Quoted Comment Right i’ve been stressing ever since trying dress on 😅

View Quoted Comment I probably have somewhere around me i didn’t even think to look 😂 but i’ll def look up the corset

View Quoted Comment I got a thong for my rehearsal dinner dress. I also got a compression garment I used after my tummy tuck & liposuction.

I got the Honeylove capris and love them. I tried Spanx and they didn’t do much to smooth out my lumps and bumps

Skims is the best Ive found. Its pricey but it works

There are many positive reviews on the forums for Honeylove and Shapermint

View Quoted Comment Which one do you get ?? i’ve been looking at the website there’s so many options

I purchased a compression slip from skims and love it!!

View Quoted Comment Any of the bodysuits. Most of them should work unless you have a backless dress, I had a lottt of trouble finding shapewear that worked with my backless dress. Never tried them but they also have like underwear that is for tummy control that could also be good!

I tried spanx and they were just ok. I noticed a lot of them don’t have an open gusset and I thought that was super important since how are we supposed to take those things off to pee?! Some of those things are super tight! 🤣 I ended up finding a skirt at Walmart that didn’t have anything to worry about. Depending on the dress I would def recommend something that’s easy to take on or off to pee. Yup. That was my main concern lmao!

I ended up going with the "Suit Your Fancy" lowback/lowfront bodysuit from Spanx. It is definitely not most supportive/compressing as far as the tummy area is concerned, but it does a great job of smoothing your hips and tummy as well as providing some support in the chest (which was my #1 concern since my dress has a low front and I have a very small chest. This body suit actually gives me cleavage! It also comes with clear straps and has a variety of configurations for the back, if your dress doesn't have a low back.

I have never tried shape wear before but I always have a little pooch and I wanted to see if I could find something to suck it in. I got a SPANX thong and I was pleasantly surprised at how it was comfortable but sucked in my little tummy.

My friend recommend Le mystere’s longline bra. I am one month away and I just ordered a bunch from Macy’s to try on and see what works best. As for tummy control I’m not sure, but I got some from Leonisa, miracle suit, etc. to try.

I’m worried - my dress is off the shoulder. I have a DD cup (reduction about 16 years ago) and every strapless type shape-wear I’ve tried kinda pushes my boobs down in a way. My daughter is making my dress so sge may alter it.

View Quoted Comment I’ve got a similar body type. The Honeylove sculptwave capris were good for me because they don’t have a bra attached; I can choose what bra to wear. Maybe those would be a good solution?

View Quoted Comment I never thought of that! I was too focused on the boob problem!
