Strapless, backless shapewear??

Amanda, on April 28, 2019 at 1:22 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
Hi all!

I’m looking for recommendations for strapless, backless shapewear—have any of you found a “unicorn” of this type that you would recommend? Mostly I want the shapewear to pull my lower belly around in some.

thank you!

    In my experience Khols has great shapewear. The place where you're getting your dress may have options as well

    YW!!!! I went to a wedding recently and needed some shapewear for my stomach. I was wearing a fitted dress. It was very affordable and it worked. I got the panty version and it really worked

    Hi there Amanda!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

    In other discussions, I’ve seen members recommend the Spanx shapewear. Apparently, they have a Wedding range which has a variety of makeups (strapless, backless, etc.) for suiting different styles of wedding dresses! Check them out and see if you can find something suitable Smiley smile

    Is your dress floor length?

    Hey! So I had been looking for something for a long time - my dress is backless (low back too), the sides are see through, and the neckline is plunging and after looking for so long, I hadn’t still found nothing that was going to work for me. What I wanted it for was to tighten up my lower belly pooch and that was it. After thinking about it for some time I just came up with a plan. So in my profession we use something called KT tape or kinesiotape which is designed to be a pain relief technique if applied a certain way. It is meant to be applied to skin and meant for athletics meaning it is supposed to stay through sweat for up to a few days (but obviously can be taken off sooner). I tried it out today under a bodycon dress and it worked! What I did was find a roll of KT tape that was skin color ($10 from Amazon), basically put it on one side of my stomach, pulled it right across and attached to the other side. It is stretchy so it moves well too, doesn’t cut you off or anything and it isn’t uncomfortable either (in my opinion). I have sensitive skin and I was able to get a kind of KT tape that is latex free and made for people with sensitive skin. A few strips of it going across to smooth out the pooch and it worked so great!!
