A Guide to Plus+ Size Shapewear: Embrace Your Curves with Confidence

by Dela Dele 25 May 2025

 The  Body-Positive Rules of Choosing Plus-Size Shapewear

 

 

1. Know measurements

When it comes to shapewear, size truly matters. A common myth is that sizing down will give you more compression and a slimmer look—but this only creates discomfort, bulges, and unwanted rolls. For the best results, stick with your true size—or go one size up if you're between sizes.

Remember: shapewear sizing doesn’t always match your regular underwear size. Just because you wear a size in panties doesn’t mean your shapewear size will be the same.

 

 

2. Know your body shape and and Flaunt It!

What’s your natural body type? Apple, pear, hourglass, or rectangle? The best shapewear enhances your curves—not hides them. Plus-size shapewear is designed to highlight your favorite features and support the areas you want to smooth.

Start by identifying the parts of your body you love most and want to accentuate. A great body shaper complements your unique silhouette and helps you feel more like you—just more sculpted and confident.

 

3. Choose your support level

Once you know your size and target areas, it’s time to choose the right compression level:

  • Light Compression: Perfect for smoothing out gentle bulges under casual outfits. Ideal for everyday wear or lounging.

  • Medium Compression: Offers more contouring while remaining comfortable for long hours. Great for workwear, nights out, and fitted outfits.

  • Firm to Extra-Firm Compression: For those special occasions where you want maximum shaping. These pieces provide the most sculpted silhouette and are perfect under formal gowns or bodycon styles.

  

4. Match the right plus-size shapewear to the occasion

Your outfit and the occasion matter just as much as your size. Here’s how to match the right shapewear to the moment:

  • Everyday Casual: Jeans and tees? Go for light or medium-control panties or shorts to smooth the tummy and hips.

  • Office Wear: A medium-compression high-waisted short or bodysuit keeps everything neat under trousers and blouses.

  • Night Out: Wear that curve-hugging dress with confidence! Choose medium to firm compression bodysuits to smooth and lift.

  • Formal Events or Weddings: Go for extra-firm shapewear that tones from bust to thigh. It's your red-carpet moment—own it.

 

5. Must-Have Plus-Size Shapewear Staples

Every curvy girl’s wardrobe should have these 4 essentials:

  • Full Bodysuit: All-over shaping for tummy, waist, back, and thighs. Bonus: many include built-in bras.

  • High-Waisted Shaping Shorts: Smooths tummy, waist, and hips without rolling down.

  • Waist Cincher or Corset: Ideal for defining the waist while wearing your own bra.

  • Shaping Panties: Simple, effective, and available in styles from light to firm compression—even with rear-enhancing features.
