Your underlayer can help create the finish you want for an outfit. Start with the cut of your clothes and a comfortable fit.
1. Fitted dresses
Compare the shapewear neckline, back and hem with your dress. Check its shade and edges under the fabric in daylight.
2. High-waisted pants
Choose a waistband that sits comfortably under your pants. Sit down to check that edges do not fold or show through.
3. Pencil skirts
Shaping shorts or a continuous-coverage garment can work under a skirt. Check that the garment ends above your skirt hem.
4. Fitted shirts and blouses
Choose coverage that works with the neckline and straps. Move around in the whole outfit to check that the underlayer stays discreet.
5. Wedding and evening dresses
Bring your undergarment to the dress fitting. Decorative details and closures can show through fine fabrics, so check the finish before your event.
6. Two-piece outfits
Decide whether your underlayer should stay hidden or become part of the look. Check where the waistband sits when you raise your arms.
7. Office outfits
Try your combination both sitting and standing. Look for a comfortable fit during your activities and a finish that works with the fabric of your clothes.
