Shapewear makes you appear slim by compressing your body to fit inside of the shapewear itself. There are also shapewear made from different materials to accommodate larger people.

For your shapewear, consider buying the size you are now, as most of the shapewear companies will recommend this. Spanx are a great brand to try for this.

You can go directly to the Shapewear website to buy shapewear. They have several options to choose from and offer great prices along with fast shipping.
