Bringing Sexy Back Into Shapewear

Miraclesuit Sexy Sheer Shaping Waist Cincher

Tonight’s the big night! You want a sensational outfit, and when things heat up, what’s underneath to be just as sexy. For most of us, shapewear is essential for accentuating our curves in all the right places. Sometimes we worry that, when we start getting frisky, what flatters from underneath will transform us from a tantalizing temptress into a dowdy dame. Thankfully, shapewear has evolved tremendously, often designed by women who are bringing sexy back into shapewear. Here are a few things to consider when choosing sensual shapewear that celebrates your inner seductress.

One-piece or two pieces. If you want full-body support and no fuss about coordinating multiple pieces of underwear, then a full body briefer like Va Bien’s is perfect. While some one-pieces do not include a built-in bra, many of them do. If your bust requires extra support and shaping, or you are only interested in specific areas, then two pieces are a better bet.

Smooth lines. Accents are a surefire way to spice up any undergarment. Make sure that any seams, ribbons, or lace detailing will enhance and not detract from your overall look. A little lace peaking out of a v-neck? Hot. Seams and accents creating bumps? Not. Fortunately, there is plenty of seamless shapewear. Sleek and smooth can be just as alluring, especially if the fabric feels sumptuous to the touch.

Separate bra or built-in bra. Every type of shaper has built-in bra models. The built-in bra is convenient, eliminates an extra layer, and looks spectacular. Those who are more buxom, however, may require the support and shaping only a beautiful bra can supply. If you choose to wear your own bra, then you have the option of a shaper overlaying it entirely or an open front model that allows for immediate visibility. Another possibility is a  waist cincher, or faja. While an issue of personal taste, creating a beguiling effect with an open front or waist cincher can be a challenge. It’s draws attention to the fact you’re wearing shapewear. Also, you still will be contending with two pieces, and, possibly, quite a few hooks! It’s easier to pair a waist cincher with a bra and panty for an enticing look, but unless you find that perfect match for your faja or open front, choose full coverage to go with your carefully selected bra.

Begin with your shapewear, not your outfit. Some shapewear is so captivating that it’s worth building your outfit around it rather than vice-versa. For example, this Scandale full  body slip is so glamorous, it almost seems a shame to put anything over it! If a dress or skirt seems over-the-top for your evening, a corset or something like this elegant  Coquette bustier with a sheer top could be the highlight of your outfit. If your date is merely a prelude and not the main event, it’s worth assembling an outfit that simply complements your sensational shapewear, the true star of your ensemble!
