The Perfect Body?
If history has shown us anything, it’s that society’s perception of beauty is constantly changing.
Art, pop culture and fashion shape how we perceive what is “beautiful”, and the following icons have all played a roll in redefining beauty trends over time. 
Bra Solutions for Dresses
You know the drill: you’ve just found the most amazing dress that fits you like a glove and is perfect for that upcoming occasion. The only issue? It requires a special kind of foundation. From cutout details to backless designs, Classic Shapewear has you covered with a wide range of innovative bra solutions.
1. Plunge
A plunge neckline may be daring, but thanks to specialized bras, you no longer have to fear a wardrobe malfunction. Our plunge designs offer support and shape while remaining sight unseen, allowing you to wear the lowest of necklines without foregoing the proper support.

2. Backless
Showcase your backside in the most ladylike of ways with a bra that’s specifically designed for those sexy backless or low-back dresses. These styles work their magic in the front without showing through on the back opening, giving the illusion that you’re wearing nothing underneath.
3. Strapless
Strapless dresses require adequate bra support without the straps, and finding one that doesn’t slide down is sometimes difficult. Our strapless bras stay in place while giving you the shape and lift you desire. Bare your shoulders confidently without sacrificing the boost these dresses require.

4. Modesty
Is your favorite top a bit too low for the office? Adjust your neckline accordingly with modesty panels that fit securely at the bust to give you extra coverage when and where you need it. These panels can be removed for an easy transition from work to play, and they create a layered look that’s fashion-forward without adding unnecessary bulk.
5. Enhancers
If you need a little lift or additional fullness, consider using bust enhancers for the look of a fuller chest. These inserts shape and boost your bust while creating ample cleavage to enhance a lower neckline, and the gel design is comfortable enough for frequent wear.
6. Converters
Strappy back or challenging cutouts? Converter solutions allow you to transform your favorite bra’s straps to fit your fashion needs. Slide these into place to accommodate racerbacks and crisscross straps with ease.
7. Shoulder Cushions
Bras are meant to be comfortable and supportive, and there’s no need to suffer through a long day with bra straps digging into your shoulders. Shoulder cushion pads are ideal for adding a gentle, padded cushion along the top of the strap to prevent unnecessary friction and discomfort.

Our diverse bra styles help you look your best while exploring today’s latest trends and fashion must-haves.

There’s never a reason to feel ashamed about improving your appearance with shapewear. In the words of stunning Australian singer and songwriter Ricki-Lee Coulter, it’s simply about “enhancing your body and accentuating your good areas. Shapewear isn’t the ugly, embarrassing granny undies they used to be – they really are sexy.” We couldn’t agree more.
Shapewear and Lingerie Guide
Bracli Paris Pearl G-String
A style icon Nicole Richie once observed, “lingerie plays a big part in how you carry yourself.”
The items you wear underneath your clothing are vital to building the right foundation for an outfit, and they can make you feel undeniably confident at the same time.

Bustiers
Love the look of vintage lingerie? Then bustiers are your go-to style. These corseted designs amplify your bust and draw attention to your décolletage while discreetly slimming your upper midsection.
Lingerie Sets
When your lingerie matches cohesively, you just feel more self-confident throughout your day, but it can be difficult to find an exact color match if you don’t buy the pieces together. Our lingerie sets take the guesswork out of the process so that you’re always perfectly coordinated.
Teddies
Why buy two pieces when you can slip on just one? Teddies are versatile enough to wear as comfy loungewear or provocative lingerie.
Dresses
René Rofé Sexy 2-Piece Sexy Straps Garter Dress Set
Sleepwear doesn’t have to be contained to just flannel pajamas. Go to bed feeling well-dressed in our selection of night dresses and chemises. Fishnet and mesh styles provide a see-through effect that leaves little to the imagination, while modest designs are made with romantic lace or comfortable microfiber fabric for lounging. Whether you prefer strapless or strappy nighties or feel best in short or full-length gowns, we have various styles to cover you as you wish.
Stockings
Hosiery adds such a sexy touch to lingerie, and it’s the perfect complement to teddies and garter belts. Try wet look thigh-high stockings for an edgy vibe or back seam styles for vintage appeal.
Garter Belts
René Rofé Sexy Cincher Garter Belt
Garter belts aren’t just for show, although they’re definitely made to show off. Ruffled and frilly versions offer a romantic addition to your lingerie, while high-waisted styles provide shaping for a slimming effect.
Extras
Many full body shapewear blogs, such as The Lingerie Addict, highlight some of the lesser-known lingerie styles that are equally as important as the most recognized staples. From waist-cinchers that guarantee a coveted hourglass shape to lingerie drawer dividers and specialized detergent for proper garment care, we offer the extras that complete your look and keep your collection cared for and organized.
Best Shapewear for a Tight Dress
One of the more challenging tasks is finding shapewear that goes unnoticed under the tightest of dresses. A snug fit is meant to showcase your body in the best way possible, but even a light meal can make this silhouette feel uncomfortable. No one wants to have her evening ruined by sucking in her stomach all night or pulling bunched fabric back into place every few minutes. Fortunately, many shapewear options are made for this type of garment to ensure that you spend your night enjoying yourself (and dinner!) rather than holding your breath and picking at your food.
Tights and Hosiery
For a streamlined silhouette without any unsightly fuss underneath, try tights and stockings. These staples even work with summer sandals thanks to toeless varieties, and they offer control top waistbands that keep everything in place.
Control Shorts
Skinnygirl Shapewear Slimming Hi-Rise Brief
Tame your core with a pair of control shorts. This discreet undergarment smoothes your upper torso as well as your lower back and abs to eliminate any unwanted bulges.
Butt Lifters
TruFigure Butt Lifting Panties
Your backside is an important feature that shouldn’t be ignored. If your derriere is sagging more as the years go by, or if you wish you had more roundness and shape, consider trying butt lifters. Padded styles give you additional plumpness, and cutout designs provide compression to slim your torso while lifting your assets.
High-Waisted Shapers
Create the illusion of perfectly flat abs with a high-waisted shaper that keeps your figure slim from your thighs and hips all the way up to your ribcage. These shapers eliminate visible back fat while keeping your waist nipped and cinched.
Body Shapers
Vedette Evonne Firm Compression Body Shaper
From compression bodysuits to garter dresses, body shapers are an excellent undergarment for tight dresses. These add a streamlined effect all over, which is ideal for outfits that are snug from top to bottom.
Strapless Shapewear
Strapless dresses require hidden support, and that can be challenging to find! Longline bras, brasselettes and strapless bodysuits are some of the best options for giving you lift where you need it most. As Carly Jacobs explains on Smaggle, nude, strapless shapewear dresses are essential items and will work with any piece in your closet.
Arm Shapers
Is your new dress a little too snug in the arms, or do you feel self-conscious about loose skin around your triceps? Arm shapers tighten and slim this area so that you can feel confident again.
Bridal Shapewear
All great relationships need a solid foundation, and so does every blushing bride. Something borrowed and something blue will both likely take a backseat to shapewear necessities on your wedding day. No matter your size or shaping needs, you’ll find the foundational pieces you need at Classic Shapewear.
Va Bien Backless Strapless Bustier
Bustiers
Bustiers are a wedding day staple, providing sheer shape and support underneath a variety of wedding gown designs. Unlike the brasselette and torsolette, the bustier stops at the bottom of the ribcage for more minimal coverage.
Brasselettes
Much like bustiers, brasselettes smooth the upper body for wedding day perfection. This style provides a bit more coverage with a longer length that hits right at the waist.
Torsolettes
Dominique Satin & Lace Torsolette
As the name suggests, torsolettes fall all the way to the top of the hips for more coverage than the bustier and brasselette around the lower stomach and back. This style is helpful in smoothing any unwanted back bulges or lower abdominal pooches so that your silhouette stays tight throughout the ceremony.
Strapless Bras
A strapless dress shows off a woman’s décolletage and shoulders so beautifully, and the last thing you want on your wedding day is an unsupported chest detracting from the look and restricting those dance moves at the reception. As this shapewear blog explains, strapless bras offer the lift a strapless gown requires while providing a smooth curve and boosted cleavage.
Body Briefers and Bodysuits
Rago Body Briefer Firm Shaping
If you’re looking for a full-body slimming effect, body briefers and bodysuits provide the smooth contouring you desire over multiple areas rather than targeting just one. These shapers are comfortable in their designs and require no fuss so that you can focus on the ceremony – and not your shapewear.
Suspender Belts
Upgrade your hosiery with a vintage-inspired suspender belt that adds timeless charm to your undergarments. Layered atop your shaping briefs, suspender belts lie flat while supporting your stockings for a secure walk down the aisle.
Backless Bras
Baring your back on your big day? The right backless bra will give you the support and lift you need in the front while going undetected along the back to complement this modern and elegant style.
Shaping Briefs
Tighten up your hips, thighs and derriere with a classic shaping brief that hides discreetly underneath your gown and creates a visibly smooth curve. High-waisted styles help control your stomach and prevent any unwelcome bulges.
Babydolls
Coquette 2-Piece Eyelash Lace and Satin Babydoll
The wedding may be the main event, but don’t forget to pack some lingerie for the honeymoon. Babydolls are one of the most feminine sleepwear styles, and they always look effortlessly romantic.
Your wedding day is a magical time that you’ll always remember. At Classic Shapewear, we vow to help you look your most radiant as you say “I do” to that special someone.
Shapewear Under the Sun
Leonisa Slimming Tummy Control Swimsuit
Now that spring has officially sprung, out come our warm-weather wardrobes. During the winter, shapewear is an obvious asset in protecting us from the cold. As the temperature rises, additional layers seem less appealing. There is plenty of shapewear, however, that flatters your form while keeping you cool under the sun.
The first factor to consider is fabric. Some shapers’ material is simply thinner than others. For example, the Spanx Trust Your Thinstincts line is made of an ultra-thin, sleek fabric that is perfect for hotter days and still slims just as effectively. Similarly, anything designated as “moisture-wicking“ will actually draw sweat and perspiration away from the skin to outer layers, where it can dry in the warm air. In those instances, your undergarments are actually preventing you from becoming a hot, sweaty mess, which is no easy feat under the sizzling sun!
Another way shapewear helps stave off the perils of perspiration is by separating areas where sweat can collect. Spring and summer fashion is all about skirts and dresses. Of course, hosiery and tights are out of the question. This means legs, especially thighs, are left to rest against each other, skin-against-skin. Pools of sweat can quickly form, and the inevitable friction is not your friend. Both of these things are not only uncomfortable, but also can cause considerable skin irritation. Slipping on a pair of Spanx shorts or thigh shapers, however, easily resolves the problem. Shaping shorts also prevent sweat from seeping through and leaving unsightly sweat-stains on clothing.
This time of year, sheer clothing and tanks also become a staple of the season. Most women will wear something underneath, such as a camisole tank. Many shaping camis are pretty enough that they become the accent that makes the outfit. Want to wear a tank but can’t imagine wearing two layers? There’s no need. Several shaping tanks are designed to be worn on their own and never resemble anything other than terrific tank tops.

Of course, summer is synonymous with swimming, which means pools and beaches. For many, the only thing more irritating than buying jeans is shopping for swimsuits. It brings out our deepest insecurities and can leave you feeling defeated and unattractive. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way. Control swimwear is perfect for enjoying a fashionable dip in cool, refreshing water and it slims and shapes as effectively as any one-piece shaper. When you pick the right one, your least favorite piece of clothing suddenly becomes one of your favorites!
Just like with the rest of your wardrobe, changing seasons means wearing different shapewear. With so much variety, everyone is bound to find the items that suit their needs exactly. There is no need to sacrifice fashion or comfort just because the temperature rises. As long as your closet contains the right shapewear, you can bask in the sun’s rays, looking and feeling as radiant as ever!
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!
