We all know how stressful Christmas can be. Not just because we’re trying to find the ‘perfect’ Christmas present but also the thoughts of all those party’s or family gatherings with relatives you may not have seen all year. As a result I’ve researched the most efficient practical shape wear for over the Christmas period or even to have as a mandatory piece in your wardrobe. Some call it cheating, I prefer to call it Curvy weaponry!:)
This lace sleeved shapewear body is ideal for those who want to hide their arms. The sleeves are fitted so they will work perfectly under a majority of tops or dress. Pair this body with blacks or dark colours.
M&S Flatter me : Light control armwear body: €37.00
Available in sizes 8-22
This is a pretty good piece to have as its a cute going out top and shapewear rolled into one. Next black velvet shaping top : €30 Available in sizes 6-20
I think this is the most versatile form of shape wear. This one is from M&S, the shape cuts under the bust line enabling you to wear whatever bra you prefer. I have seen a similar one from Primark in a thong version to ensure you have no VPL.
M&S Firm control wear : £35
Available in black or nude in sizes 8-22
This control slip is ideal for dresses and will soothe out your silhouette. Similarly as before the bust line allows you to wear whatever bra you wish.
Evans Nude control slip :£35
Available in sizes 14 -32
For those who prefer more over all support here is a lovely shapewear piece from Simply Be by Gok Wan . This piece offers no VPL line, adjustable straps and ultra comfortable material. Its available in a wide variety of colours.
Simply Be Gok Wan curve controller : £38.50
I picked these sparkly leggings for some party season essence, but they come in plain black also. They are perfect if you want to give the illusion of slimmer or more toned legs. Next Black sparkle control leggings : €24
