Let\u2019s be honest; shapewear gets a bad rap. I know it can be constricting and uncomfortable, but it can also be supportive and confidence-affirming! Great fitting plus-size shapewear <\/a>lifts, separates, supports, and helps you stay cool and comfortable. If this has not been your experience while wearing shapewear, you may be wearing the wrong size or style under your plus-size dresses. But no fear, we’ve got you covered! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know to find the best plus-size shapewear for your figure, including our top picks for tummy contro<\/a>l, bodysuits<\/a>, and strapless <\/a>options. Say goodbye to the frustration of shopping for shapewear and hello to feeling confident and comfortable in your plus-size dresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know Your Measurements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, before you start shopping for shapewear, you should know your measurements. Check out our simple step-by-step guide for instructions on how to measure yourself when shopping online<\/a>. Get out that good old measuring tape and take your waist, hip, and bust measurements. This will help you determine your shapewear size and ensure a proper fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine Your Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, think about what you want from your shapewear. Do you need tummy control? Do you want a full-coverage bodysuit or a strapless option? Along with the standard must-have styles of shapewear that work with most dresses, consider special occasions where you may need specialty shapewear for specific looks. For example, a backless plus-size bridesmaid<\/a> dress might require a backless shapewear piece, depending on the cute of the dress. Once you know what you need, you can start searching for the right shapewear to fit those requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for High-Quality Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When shopping for shapewear, investing in high-quality materials is essential. Look for pieces that are made with breathable, stretchy materials that will move with your body and provide all-day comfort. Additionally, prioritize shapewear that has a strong, supportive waistband to ensure a smooth fit around your midsection. Depending on your figure and the style of dress, you may also want to ensure that your shapewear has substantial bust support and bottom lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check for Customer Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before making a purchase, be sure to check for customer reviews of the product. Look for feedback from other plus-size women to understand how the shapewear will fit your body type. Additionally, pay attention to any notes about sizing so you can decide which size to order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Top Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we’ve rounded up our top picks for the best plus-size shapewear options on the market. We highly recommend the Honeylove’s SuperPower Brief or Short if you’re looking for tummy control. Check out their Liftwear Tank for a full-coverage bodysuit. And if you need a strapless option, you can’t go wrong with our best-selling bra brand Elila and their Phoebe Strapless Bra<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
