Plus Size Shapewear: How to Choose the Right Piece and Size
Good shapewear should feel comfortable at every size. For curvy and plus size women, the right piece smooths and supports without digging in or rolling down. Here's what to look for.
What to look for
- A wide, high waistband that sits above the belly button and doesn't roll.
- Longer legs (bermuda length) to smooth the thighs and stop them rubbing together.
- Seamless or soft edges so nothing cuts in at the thigh or waist.
- Breathable fabric for comfort in hot weather.
The best styles for plus size
Seamless high-waist shorts
Comfortable tummy and hip control for every day. The Lupo Plus Size Seamless Shaper Short comes in XXL and XXXL.
Bermuda shapers
The best choice if your thighs rub together. The Lupo Control Slim Plus Bermuda is made for plus sizes.
Styles that come in XL
Most of our Lupo and Liz shapers also come in XL, including full body shapers and waist corsets. Check the size options on each product page.
How to get the size right
- Lupo and Liz size by weight and height, not by dress size. Use the table on each product page or our size guide.
- If you're between sizes, choose the larger one. It shapes better and won't roll.
- Carry weight mostly on your tummy? A high-waist style with double fabric at the front gives the most control.
Mistakes to avoid
- Sizing down to "look slimmer": it causes rolls and discomfort.
- Choosing low-rise styles, which push the tummy over the top.
- Wearing firm control all day from the first day. Build up gradually.
