How to Choose Shapewear

Miraclesuit shape-wear is regularly voted Britain´s favourite shape-wear brand according to an annual survey conducted by lingerie trade magazine Underlines.  

If you are looking to buy shape-wear for the first time and need some advice on what to look for here are our top tips for buying the perfect piece.

• Always buy nude shape-wear if you are going to be wearing it under white clothes. It will not show though whereas white underwear will.

• Always buy shape-wear in your regular dress size. If you buy a piece in a size down you will struggle to get into it as well as creating unsightly bulges where it is too tight. A good piece of shapewear will smooth and flatten in your regular size.

• Invest in some staple pieces like the Miraclesuit Hi-waist briefs. These can be worn under skirts, trousers and dresses and can be worn every day to keep your figure looking sleek and smooth.

• Choose the right piece for the area you are trying to correct. For instance if it is your thighs only, you don’t need to buy hi-waisted garments. If you are looking to drop a dress size round your waist, go for a strong control piece like the waist cincher from Miraclesuit. Ask your stockist if you can try them on and if you are buying for a special occasion, take the outfit with you so you can see the overall effect.
