Expert Advice: The Best Shapewear for Every Outfit

So, you’ve spent hours trying on wedding dresses in your mission to find ‘the one’. The last thing you need is to ruin the look with lingerie that creates unwanted lumps and bumps or feels uncomfortable during the speeches.

With so much to plan, it’s tempting to push looking for lingerie to the bottom of your to-do list. However, straight after choosing your dress – when the fit is fresh in your mind – is the best time. If you’ve chosen a shoulder-baring gown, strapless shapewear will work for you, while seam-free styles should be your go-to for slinky dresses.

Be sure to give your bridal shapewear a trial run to ensure you can navigate bathroom breaks and that you’ll be comfy sitting, standing and dancing in it throughout the day. A versatile shaping body is the ultimate wedding shapewear all-rounder. It'll do the job under everything from close-fitting fishtail dresses to bias-cut slip dresses.

Last year's beloved party dresses feeling a little snug? Hold fire on donating them until you've tried them over sculpting shapewear first. Miraclesuit's extra-firm control shaping shorts are a godsend for fitted, clinging garments, offering your curves targeted support. Miraclesuit recommend buying a size up if you are not used to firm compression garments or are in between sizes.

If you want a little extra lift and definition under your favourite pair of tailored trousers or a satin slip skirt, look no further than our bum-boosting shorts. Also known as the BBS, they were this year's hottest shapewear launch.

The removable padding and cinch details give your bum a subtle but noticeable lift, while light control shaping smooths your silhouette. Plus, the shorts are made using our innovative Cool Comfort technology, meaning they’ll keep you feeling breezy and comfortable, whatever your plans. Feel free to skip the squats for now – we won’t tell anyone.
