    The best shapewear

    Im looking to buy some shapewear/controlwear under my dress at christmas. I used to have one from Peacocks that was fab, its the best Ive found personally (didnt try many places lol). I went back to get a new one today and they dont have any anymore. Thought about checking the website but its not showing anything. So Im wondering if anyone can help me find some. I need it to pull in my hips (outer) and my tummy. I prefer the dress kind where you can wear your own bra as it doesnt roll down.
    Many thanks x

    I have some massive control pants from Primark. They were £6 and they're fantastic. They come down to mid thigh and finish just under my bra and they don't roll down. Considering you can easily spend £50 on shapewear they're a bargain. They do other shapewear too so they may have something in the slip style that you're looking for.

    I've got a control dress from Asda I think it was 6 or 9 pound but it's like a tightly Lycra dress and great to wear under a fitted dress or even floaty dress to hide the lumps and bumps.
    and it also keeps you really warm on these winter nights x

    I read an article Asda have brought out a new range and reasonable prices too, worth a look. Ive had a couple of the shapewear vests from Primark and they have been very good.

    I've got an M&S one and it's great. It's black, goes from under the bra down to thighs so smooths out my entire lumpy bumpy middle. I've never tried any other types but I found it so comfy, doesn't roll down that I got another one in white. It was about a year ago I bought the last one and think it was about £25.

    I really like the Gok Wan underwear from Simply Be, it really looks good. It is pricey enough but the quality is definitely very good.
