Which Shapewear to Wear Under a Wedding or Evening Dress
A wedding or a big occasion is when shapewear matters most: fitted fabrics show every line, and you'll be wearing the dress for hours. Here's how to choose the right piece for your dress.
Choose by dress style
Fitted, mermaid or bodycon dress
Choose a full body shaper. It smooths you from chest to mid-thigh in one piece, so there's no waistband line and nothing rolls down when you sit. The Lupo Full Body Shaper with built-in bra also lifts the bust.
Ball gown or A-line dress
The skirt hides your legs, so focus on the waist and tummy. A high-waist bermuda or waist corset defines the waist and keeps you comfortable.
Very tight or light-coloured fabric
Choose a seamless piece or a thong shaper so no edges show. See our invisible shapewear.
Low back or open-back dress
A full bodysuit may show at the back. Choose a high-waist short or bermuda instead, and check the back of the dress in a mirror.
Tips for the big day
- Buy early and try it with the dress. Do at least one fitting wearing the shapewear, since it can change how the dress fits.
- Wear it for a few hours before the day so you know it's comfortable.
- Don't size down. For a long night, your real size is more comfortable and looks smoother.
- Think about the bathroom. Some bodysuits have an opening at the bottom; check the product details.
- Choose skin tone. Nude shades disappear under light dresses; black is best under dark ones.
