We’ve created a nice and easy guide to help you pick out the perfect shapewear for your body!

How to pick the perfect shapewear for your curves!

Measure up!

Before you dive in and start haphazardly adding items to your cart, it’s always a good idea to measure up and make sure you’re getting the right fit for your curves.

Poorly fitting shapewear can lead to all kinds of uncomfortable rolling and painful pinching, which can be a total day-ruiner! Instead, before purchasing, grab your tape measure and take a couple of minutes measuring up your waist and hips. You’ll be shopping smarter, ensuring that your control wear will give you the best silhouette without making you uncomfortable!

And don’t forget to read the size guide! Many sites frequently offer valuable tips on sizing up or down, depending on your desired fit.

Know your body type!

Each plus-sized body is unique. Two women of the same dress size may have totally different body shapes and completely different proportions. So, before picking out your shapewear fit, you might want to think about your body type and what aspects of your figure you want your shaping garments to accentuate. Perhaps you want to enhance your waistline for that perfect hourglass silhouette? Or maybe you want something that firms and shapes your butt so you can rock your favourite tight jeans with total confidence?

Not sure what body type you have? Follow this super simple guide to help you figure out which shape you are so you can pick the fit that’ll work best for you!
