The Shape Up High Waist Shaping Brief is a top-selling shapewear piece that will smooths out your stomach and gives a hip and butt-lift effect. The stretchy fabric won’t slip or bunch through the day, and you’ll get a seamless look under your favourite outfit.

• Best shapewear for tight-fitting dresses

Finding the perfect underwear for a tight-fitting dresses dress isn’t impossible. In your search, you have a couple of choices; match your skin tone for an invisible look or match your dress, to add a little something to your outfit. The Shape Up Corsage falls into the latter category, far too stunning to hide completely. This body sculpting corsage gives visible tummy tucker effects and smooths out back bulges.

• Best shapewear for strapless dresses

Along with a strapless bra, make sure you choose the right size underwear for a smooth and comfortable look. The Shape Up Full Shaping Brief provides medium-level control for tummy tucker, thigh shaping and butt-lifting effects, while remaining invisible under your well fitted dresses.

• Best shapewear for plunging necklines

When choosing the best underwear for special occasion dresses or tops, make sure you give yourself time. Finding the right lingerie often means trying on several items with your outfit to see the overall look. The design of the Lizi Wired Bra is ideal for plunging necklines. A feminine and elegant minimiser bra, it supports up to an F cup with a lightweight yet ultra-supportive construction.
