The best shapewear for a look you’ll love

Best shapewear for a smooth tummy

Choose the best shapewear for the tummy to create a sleek look under your clothes. Minimiser briefs are a lingerie wardrobe staple for smooth lines in any outfit, no matter your shape. The Shape Sensation Minimiser Panty features super comfortable circular-knit fabric with minimal seams. The shaped inner control panel helps smooth out the tummy and minimise the waist.

Best shapewear for a minimised bust

If a minimised bust would boost your confidence, minimiser bras are the lingerie drawer staple you need. But, gone are the days of uncomfortable or downright daggy options. Our minimiser bras are timeless in design, with a focus on all-day comfort. The super soft jersey True Shape Sensation bra reduces your bust cup by one size, offering support and sleek lines under your clothes.

Best shapewear for slim hips, a defined waist and a perky bottom

Minimiser briefs are some of the best shapewear for your hips, waist and bum. The high-waisted design of the Jolly Comfort Panty is a supreme waist-shaper, while the rigidity of the fabric also means a seriously toned bottom. You’ll wear anything from jeans to a party dress with confidence. The Minimiser Hips Panty features a smooth seam-free microfibre-feel fabric for a sleek look under clothes that gently lifts and shapes your bottom.

Best shapewear for toned legs and full-body slimming

Shapewear bodysuits are where it’s at for full-body slimming. The best shapewear for a muffin top or love handles, bodysuits let you wear the most figure-hugging outfit with confidence. The True Shape Sensation Bodysuit contains LYCRA® for a fantastic fit that moves with your body. The minimiser cups, tummy control and tapered and soft brushed, padded straps offer the ultimate in comfortable shaping. Thanks to its delicate and feminine look, your shapewear can look as sexy and beautiful as it feels.

• Minimal or seam-free garments offer a smooth, sleek look.
• Closed gussets lift your butt into a perky position.
• Inner control panels smooth out your tummy.
• High-waisted designs and rigid fabrics smooth out lines and offer support.
