Shapewear is the unsung hero of undergarments. Bras visibly lift our chest, giving Us extra curves and cleavage when we’re feeling spicy. Lacy panties are our sexy little secret, unless we choose to show them off to a lucky lover. But shapewear remains hidden — almost too taboo to talk about. And yet, what would we do without our favorite shorts, bodysuits and briefs that smooth and sculpt our shape? We’re shouting our appreciation from the rooftops!
But which shapewear works best on which type of dress? That’s where we come in. Save this page the next time you go shopping so you can find the perfect piece for your specific frock!
