Shapewear has revolutionized the fashion world in recent years. Among the many types of body-shaping underwear, we can distinguish panties, slips, corsets, and bodysuits. The latter are designed to slim the body. Made from materials with strong yet very elastic fibers, they effectively flatten and aesthetically smooth out protruding areas of the body, such as the stomach or side folds. A shaping bodysuit is perfect to wear under a more fitted outfit, like a tailored dress.
In the article below, we explain:
- which shaping bodysuit to choose to make your figure look perfect;
- how to select a shaping bodysuit in terms of size;
- whether to wear underwear under a shaping bodysuit.
Discussing these key issues will help you make an informed purchase of the perfect bodysuit model. So we wish you an enjoyable read and warmly invite you to explore our online store’s offer, where you will find many attractive styles of shapewear, including of course bodysuits.
Which shaping bodysuit to choose to make your figure look perfect?
Shaping bodysuits are an ideal choice if you want to shape your entire silhouette. However, this underwear comes in two distinctive types that help you achieve more specific effects:
- Shaping bodysuits ending below the bust – they flatten a protruding stomach, beautifully smooth the waist, and lift the breasts, making them appear firmer.
- Shaping bodysuits with cups – they slim your body, give it proper proportions, and additionally visually enlarge the bust while providing excellent support.
Depending on your individual needs, decide which bodysuit models will be best for you, while also considering the color of the shapewear. Since a bodysuit covers a large part of the body, its dark color may be visible under light or slightly sheer outfits, such as those in nude tones. The right color of the bodysuit matters.
How to choose a shaping bodysuit in terms of size?
First and foremost, a shaping bodysuit should neither be too small nor too large. Many women associate shapewear with a garment that should be tighter than their regular clothes. This is a very mistaken assumption because a bodysuit that is too small will cling too tightly to the body, causing visible deformations under clothing. Instead of hiding unwanted curves, you will highlight them even more. Moreover, wearing a too-small shaping bodysuit for many hours can cause unpleasant skin chafing, abdominal pain, poor blood circulation in overly compressed areas, and breathing difficulties, which can even lead to fainting. On the other hand, shapewear that is too large will hang loosely from the body, causing poor garment fit. Therefore, the size of the shaping bodysuit should be based on your current clothing size. If you are unsure, it is worth measuring your waist, hips, bust, and underbust line. This way, you can be sure that the chosen bodysuit model perfectly matches your size.
Should you wear underwear under a shaping bodysuit?
You should not wear any additional underwear under a shaping bodysuit unless you choose a model that ends below the bust. In that case, you can pair the shapewear with a suitable bra. Wearing panties under a bodysuit will cause unsightly lines, which you want to avoid.
