Tummy control for tight dress?

Margaret , on March 27, 2019 at 4:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
So I had my second fitting today, I love my dress 😁but looking back on the pictures my stomach does pop out a bit. I always thought I could away with no shape ware but now I think I’ll need something. My question is if anyone knows of some kind of tummy control that is thin material but still does the job? My dress fits very tight and I’ve looked at the corset type ones but I don’t think my dress will zip over something like that. Any help is appreciated!

    Spanx is thin Smiley smile they come in all types of varieties for whatever you need. It’s definitely not like a corset but should accomplish what you’re looking for.

    I don’t know why I didn’t think of that! I usually try to stay away from shapewear because I get so uncomfortable and then that’s all I think about lol. But I’m definitely going to look into right now. Thank you so much for your suggestion!

    Lol being plus size I knew I was going to need shapewear but the positive is that it’s so popular now that they literally have all styles of it so that you get what you need. A lot of them are thinner more comfortable material now too so you don’t feel like you’re suffocating! Mine fits up to under the bra to down past my thighs just because I wanted everything smooth for the type of dress I got. I have a pair that’s just for the top too. I hope you find what you’re looking for!!

    So there’s usually a couple things I’ve seen. I just grabbed a couple from the spanx website as examples. The mid thigh one is what I have. There are options on there that have straps but I guess that depends on your dress Smiley smile. My dress has a low back too so something under the bra line was a must for me.

    I’ve taken a look at those as well. But I don’t know how I feel about it being able to be seen. I don’t know if that makes sense haha like you’d be able to see the Spanx with my dress.

    I got a pair of Jockey high waisted thong underwear from Target for like $12 that I'm wearing under my (extremely form-fitting) dress.

    Here's the link.

    Those actually seem perfect. They cover the area I need covered and you can’t beat $12 lol

    I know! I was really not feeling paying $100+ for Spanx (though I’m sure they work wonders because people swear by them!)

    I only need this sort of thing for one day, so I don’t really need to invest. And this pair does a nice job of keeping everything pulled in!

    I clicked on your link and they have them at my target. Guess where I’m going tomorrow lol! But you made another good point, I wear scrubs to work and the rest of my life either sweat pants or jeans 😂so I probably wouldn’t use them again anytime in the near future. Thank you!
