Spanx? Other shapewear?

I've never worn Spanx but considering you see dan everything in my new favorite dress, I think I need to wear some shapewear.

Anyone have any experience with stomach-only shapewear? Does it work and do you have it sewn in?

Hi - I used to buy shapewear for a major retailer so I have this down!
Waist cinchers are good, but make sure it either hooks up to your bra or has a grip at the bottom to keep from rolling!!
If your dress is tight at the bottom, I'd recommend a high waisted thigh slimmer or boy short so you get tummy and bottom control (make sure the butt has a seam so you don't get a flat butt!)

Level of control is key. Light or medium is more everyday. Firm is perfect for a special occasion dress. If you go extra firm, do yourself a favor and give it a test drive in advance to make sure it isn't too restrictive!!

As far as brands, Maidenform, miraclesuit and spanx are best in class.

Hope this helps!!

Thank you! I just send you FM I'm actually not wearing a bra, the dress doesn't allow for one! The dress isn't really tight at the bottom so maybe I can do something with a longer bottom? And yes, I want to do firm since I'd like it to lay flat on wedding day. Thank you!
