Your dress deserves the perfect foundation. The right shapewear creates a smooth, confident silhouette and keeps you comfortable through the ceremony, the photos and hours on the dance floor. Here's how to choose by dress style:
- Fitted or mermaid gowns: firm shaping that smooths the tummy, hips and thighs — high-waisted shaper shorts are ideal.
- A-line or ballgown: focus on the tummy with a high-waisted shaper panty or shorts.
- Strapless dresses: a strapless body shaper or step-in faja that stays put with no shoulder straps.
- Backless dresses: skip full bodysuits and reach for body tape, nipple covers and invisible straps for support without lines.
Two more tips for the big day:
- Comfort you can move in. Choose a level you can sit, eat and dance in — and add mid-thigh shorts to prevent chafing under your gown.
- Buy early and try it on. Order ahead, test it under your dress at a fitting, and lock in the right size (never size down).
