Have You Tried Shapewear Yet?
Arbonne Giveaway
I was a little late to hop on the shapewear bandwagon. I put off buying it for a few years just because I figured it would be horribly uncomfortable and add another layer that would defeat the purpose and make me sweat.†
Boy was I wrong.†
I bought my first piece of shapewear this past summer because I needed something to wear under a fitted linen dress I bought from Banana Republic. It was perfect for that dress and eliminated any chance for panty lines. I didn’t love the fabric, though, and I had trouble with silkier dresses riding up, since the fabric of the shapewear was not smooth.
Jockey recently sent me a few pieces of their shapewear collection that are also some of Rachel Zoe ‘s favorites.
First, you know Rachel Zoe, right? I discovered her when I stumbled across her TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project, on Bravo a few years ago. She is a professional stylist (wardrobe, not hair) and is well-known for dressing major celebrities attending award shows. It’s interesting to watch the show and see all the work that goes into the look that celebrities wear at, say, the Oscars. It’s never as simple as picking out a dress. The outfits are oftentimes flown in from across the world because Rachel just knows what her clients will love.†
She really knows how to dress a woman in a feminine and flattering way.†
So when she and Jockey joined up to collaborate on the “Major Must Haves” shapewear and intimates collection, I knew she would pick the best pieces.†Jockey has been around for so many years and is†a leading manufacturer of apparel products sold in major department and specialty stores around the world, so I didn’t doubt that they would create a quality item that women would love.
I wore the Tummy Short under this dress to eliminate any chance of a panty line showing.†

Mine is a jersey dress incident, after I’d lost a ton of weight and thought I was looking fabulous. I did not realize how clingy it was, and when I went to the ladies’ room later on in the day, I realized you could see VPL and bra straps, in addition to every remaining lump on my body.
Embarrassing on a normal day, but my boss was leading a rather large meeting, and I was sitting up front, running the presentation slides and had to walk past everyone in the room when we needed something.
So yes, firm believe in shapewear now (pardon the pun.)
I’m a yoyoer (really hate to say it!) In my best I was a size 6 (this was about 6 years ago) my worst I was a size 16 (this was well over 10 years ago) I seem to be somewhere between a size 10 to 12 lately more 12…. I’m startign to see the warning signs! So There are a ton of dresses that I have bought that just need me to “tuck” in a little. This would be pefect. I have tried shape wear in the past but it typicall rolls or bunches. And I noramlly buy it big.
Would Love the help!!!
I have never found one that wouldn’t roll or bunch… and I NEVER let my husband see my try to squeeze into one! If this is more every day functional I am SOLD! 🙂
[email protected]
Looks great! Would love to try them.
I have one but it bunches and rolls and just doesn’t fit me right. I would love to wear nice dresses but nothing fits right but I think with the right shapewear I might just be able to pull it off.

I never found a shapewear that i like. Im 5’10” and on the chubby side so everything is too short, or rolls up or hit at the erong place!! I would enjoy VERY MUCH the chance to try something nice by Jockey, especially since its has your ans Rachel stamps of approval!!

I have a hard time with shapewear. I’m tall and not skinny (not big either, just in between) and have issues with it rolling and bunching. Now that I’m pregnant for the 3rd time, I’d love to try jockey’s shapewear after I have this baby! 🙂
I’ve never worn it because of your reason. I didn’t want to be uncomfortable or hot. I’m sure some dresses would have looked a lot better if I had though.
I would love to try a new type of shapewear. I tried a type from Target, but it is just so uncomfortable.
The time I most wished I was wearing shapewear was at a baby shower right after I had my daughter. My dress was flattering enough, but right after having a baby, you just need a little help 🙂

I have wished I had something shapewear’ish’ everytime I wear a jersey dress or jersey type top. The viscose material is so comfortable but shows every bump and bulge, even on smaller framed women. I would love to try it, and especially if Rachel Zoe created it! Thanks!
I love jockey! I have their slipshorts which I bought in summertime when my legs would chaff. Yeah I have thunder thighs! Anyways they are cotton and work great and stay relatively cool too
I wish I had been wearing shapewear with my bridesmaids dress in my best friends wedding. The fabric was this jersey type fabric that just clung to you in the wrong places, and I should’ve had some sort of shapewear over my tummy area.
[email protected]
Are you kidding?! My whole adult life! I thought they were pointless, as well, until I invested in a pair and have loved how they smooth the bumps. I’m going to have to try the Jockey kind! Thanks for sharing!
I have a little black dress that loves to ride up and cling to my undewear. Its such a cute dress, and I think I would enjoy wearing it more if I used shapewear.

I wish I would have been wearing it at a wedding I attended 2 weeks after my son was born, some one asked me when I was due! I left that wedding in tears, no doubt lol!

I have never been able to find shapewear that both looks and feels good. I’m looking forward to trying this one 🙂
Just bought 2 tanktops. I wear them under shirts every day, too – and if it gives me a little shape? Yes please!
I’ve been on the hunt for great shapewear for what seems like forever now. Everything I’ve tried hits in the wrong place or is terribly uncomfortable. So like others I went without in hopes it wouldn’t be noticed but always felt self conscious or avoided the cute outfits instead. After having a child and losing the weight there still seems to me a smoothing issue that needs taken care of and these products sound like the perfect solution.

I’ve never thought too much about shapewear, but I just had a baby and could use a little something to hold my stomach in until it returns back to normal. There are so many shape wear options out there, so I’ve been a little overwhelmed at choosing the right piece(s) and brand(s). I’ll definitely have to check out hockey’s collection.
There are many days I wish I had shapewear – most times when I see the “back fat” on the edges of my braline. Why can’t someone make a lineless bra?? 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway opp! (you look great btw)
I have never been able to find decent shapewear. After 3 kids thing are a bit droopy and ugly. Form fitting are totally out of the picture for me, but I want to be able to wear them. It would be nice to find “miracle’ shapewear, especially since tummy tucks are so expensive!!!

I wish I had been wearing shape wear at my husband’s homecoming. I lost a lot of weight when he was gone, but it still would have been nice to have a little bit more shape to my figure.
My fiancé and I recently got your Save the Date photos taken. We used the movie cover of Mr and Mrs Smith as the photo. It turned out super cool except the lower belly pudge that can be seen in my black dress with a white background. I am definitely interested in this shapewear for my wedding events and more!!
[email protected]
I wish I was wearing it all the time right now…I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and my shape could use a little help : )
I have a skirt one that is ok but is so restricting, I can’t really dance in it. I would love to try the Jocky ones. Even if I don’t win I’m thinking it may be my next purchase!
katie.luterek(at)gmail(dot)com
Ok, love ya Kate, but this is like two sponsored posts in two weeks. We come to this blog because we love you–not what companies are trying to sell via your awesome blog.
I wish I’d had some just few weeks ago. We took the girls to the pumpkin patch – lumpy mummy tummy! My twins are two, and I just have a roll of loose skin
I would love to try these! I am 6wks postpartum and I probably need shapewear whenever I venture out of the house! 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win.
You’re so stinkin’ adorable! I love this outfit!!

Anytime I’ve worn a dress in the past 10 years… I haven’t tried shape wear yet, but would love the chance!!

I wish I would have been wearing shapewear at a wedding I attended this past May. I thought I looked fine in the mirror before I left the house, but seeing myself in pictures was mortifying!! I had VPL and that awesome back-fat that bulges out around your bra showing under my dress. Yeah, it was fantastic. I’ve put on about 40 lbs on my 5’4″ frame in the past year due to a bout of depression that I’m trying to overcome, and seeing myself like that makes me feel even worse about myself. Some new shapewear might just give me a little bit of confidence until I can get better and lose this weight.

Shapewear would have been fabulous under this cute pencil skirt I have. I’ll have to try Jockey’s!
Developing the “over 50 tummy pooch” and would love to try the shape wear!

Mine is this sweater dress I have that I love but it just had the “tight band” in a very odd spot! I absolutely need one that doesn’t show through tight clothing though- nothing more embarrassing than people realizing you have “shape wear’ on haha! Love this give-away!

I wish I had been wearing shapewear at the last wedding I went to. I bought special underwearthat wasn’t supposed to show pantylines, but was still self-conscious that maybe they were showing through my dress.

How ironic–I wish I were wearing some TODAY! I have a tight unforgiving skirt on–oops! Would love to try this brand!

Never tried shapewear, for the same reasons you list. Always think I need it every time I see a photo of myself. Love your recommendations and would love to try it!

The last wedding I was at, I wish I would have worn shapewear! I had my bra lines showing and I hated it, that I kept my cardigan on the whole time!
I would have liked to wear it yesterday under my knit skirt!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I wear Spanx a lot and absolutely HATE them, but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gottta do. The shapewear would be a great addition to my wardrobe!
knfulp(at)gmail(dot)com
I wish I had some shapewear when I was a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding. Formal gowns can be so unforgiving. I think I’d wear Jockey shapewear all the time. Thanks!
hsheree2012 at gmail dot com
for that super cute sweater that would look so much better without the bra line and back chub.
I love these shoes!!!
look very comfy
you always look so elegant and chic!!

I wish I wore shapewear during past winters under all of the sweaters that I own. Sometimes I look back at pictures and think, what was I thinking?!?! I bet Jockey shapewear would be awesome!
I tweeted too! https://twitter.com/knfulphorst/status/266178317894443008
I had my first baby 8 months ago and let’s just say…. my body is still adjusting to the change. I have been thinking I should invest in some shapewear but didn’t even know where to begin — I’d love to win this! And will definitely go out and try some Jockey now.

Tell me about a time when you wish you had been wearing shapewear.
I would’ve loved to have this shapewear at my friends wedding. Smooth lines that come from these pieces will always help a perfect dress look better!

Love Spanx but hate that I can’t breathe! I’d love to try a new shape wear.

I recently had a baby so the last 7 months, I wish I would have invested in shapeware! Last weekend in particular though. We had family pictures for our Christmas card and I thought about buying some but didn’t have the funds to do.
Can I say everyday? I have two small children and a tummy to prove it. I’ve been eyeing this stuff for a while but I’ve been too afraid of spending the money on them.
smyles00(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have never been able to find good shapewear and I so wish I had one during my last Christmas part– to wear under black dress.
gdorotka(at)hotmail(dot)com
I could have used some shapewear during the post-baby stage after each of my 3 kids were born…definitely not a fun stage. Maybe some shapewear would have helped my jeans fit sooner!
leighannerushing(at)yahoo(dot)com
don’t know what I’d do without shapewear!

I wish I was wearing shapewear at a wedding I was in this last October (super thin bridesmaid dress!). amandapowell(at)live(dot)com
kfinck4@gmail(dot)com. I should wear shapewear everyday! I have a small belly from 2 c-sections and I’m sure it would definitely help.
Until recently, the thought of shapewear made me feel old and matronly. But after feeling uncomfortable at an open house for my husband and I in a dress that I should have worn shapewear under, I bit the bullet and decided that the next time I wanted to wear that dress, I would try shapewear. Now, I love it!

I wish I would have worn shapewear under my dress for the GALA earlier this year. Looking back at photos, I look all frumpy and bumpy! No one wants that!

I can never find good shapewear that doesn’t cut me off in a weird place or ride up. I’m anxious to try these! There are so many times I wish I had good shapewear. There are many dresses that I’ve loved but due to their thin material, I had to pass on purchasing them. Good shapewear would have made wearing those dresses possible. 🙂
webberae02 (at) gmail (dot) com
I wish I had some shapewear for use under some sheer tops!
I have shapewear that I never feel comfortable in. So, too many times I have opted not to wear it b/c it rolled down all the time. So, if it isn’t one thing it is another!
amyallen76 at gmail dot com
I recently had my first baby, and I feel like I need shapewear everyday right now! Although, the shapewear I own is very uncomfortable! Thank you for this opportunity!

I have had five children so shape wear is an everyday necessity for me so I don’t look like a bowl of jello all the time!

I’ve never tried shapewear…I’m sure I should under some dresses to make me look prettier:) [email protected]
All through high school I had to dress up for work but also be completely appropriate and shapewear tank or the skimmies under a dress would have made work a lot easier by allowing me to work hard without having to worry about anything showing.

I got a really cute t-shirt jersey dress awhile back ago and it is super cute! But the jersey material sticks to the shapewear I have. So I am always tugging at my dress. Would love to see if the Jersey brand will help with my cute dress!
Whenever I wear shirts without tank tops underneath (like today, ironically), I always regret it! I can totally identify. Thank you so much for the giveaway! 🙂

I am so excited about the Jockey shapewear! The shapewear I have still shows some bulges under my bra and the lovely muffin top :). I am attending my neice’s wedding soon and I have a terrific dress but I need to have something comfortable to look smooth and have a few curves. I love your blog for hairstyles and now I am excited to try this shapewear. Thank you sharing and trying it out! I would be thrilled to win a gift certificate!!

I got into wearing sweater dresses last winter and when I tried on one of them for this fall, I realized I could have definitely used something underneath! I have a piece of shapewear that I’ve used before; however, the piece still leaves those bulges at the openings which really doesn’t help at all! I’d love to see if the Jockey brand works for me!
When I was a bridesmaid for a wedding. Would have definitely helped.

I think the one time I can remember recently that I wish I had good shapewear was in May when friends of mine got married. I loved my dress but I would have been much more comfortable if I was wearing shapewear under it! This would be great for me to win also since a dear friend of mine is getting married and I am a bridesmaid! 🙂
I don’t wear shapewear because it never fits right, and it’s hot! Plus, it just seems like such a hassle. However, I would love to have something that feels good underneath some of my dresses or skirts, or even when I’m wearing jeans and a cute top to make that “mommy middle” disappear a bit. I totally agree that when you feel comfortable underneath your clothes, you feel more confident and beautiful on the outside!! Thanks for sharing! Would love to win!
bekahjoy87(at)gmail(dot)com
I was in my cousin’s wedding after having my second baby in two years. I’d have felt much more confident with shapeware. I’d debated on purchasing some, but decided not to in order to save money. Wished I had!
[email protected]
Well, I’m brazilian and as we all know brazilian women usually have large hips and big butts, and its sooo hard to find the perfect pair of jeans in the US.
I wish I would have worn shapewear to a wedding I attended as a bridesmaid a few months ago… I wore another brand of shapewear and it was torture! It was an outside wedding in Florida, so imagine that! I needed shapewear because the fabric of the dress was really light and I hate panty/bra lines… I was HOT and extremely uncomfortable the entire ceremony. Thank God for AC at the reception because I was seriously considering going commando!!! That’s how miserable I was!

After being a surrogate mom and carrying 2 sets of twins and 3 single babies (2 of those kiddos are my own!) I have what i call twin skin in my abdominal region. Clothes shopping isn’t very fun. I am 5’10” and weight about 150 but all of the lumps and bumps from babies are viable in tighter shirts and most skirts and dresses. I have tried shapewear and it rolls up and just isn’t comfortable. I would love to try some that works well!
i often use shapewear for extra warmth under dresses in the freezing cold MN winter.
I have a great maxi dress but I usually wish I was wearing something underneath it!

I wore this dress that I loved (at the time) to church and the dress kept clinging to me and riding up my backside the whole time.. I could’ve used shapewear that day.
I have several tops that I wear tanktops underneath because they hang too low and I dont like letting it all hang out.
With jersey so popular I wish I had bought shape wear this past summer. I have no doubt that my maxi dresses would have looked much better. Here’s to shape wear in the future!! Thanks for sharing this brand… it is much more affordable then many I have seen.
chelsthornton(at)gmail(dot)com
I have a knit dress that looked fabulous in the catalog. When I put it on, I look lumpy and awful, and I always thought I looked good! I need some shapewear so I can wear that dress!
The last time I wore my slim-fitting black dress! It clung and rode up a bit much, and it fits perfectly!
vorilee(at)gmail(dot)com
I wore a sweater dress to a wedding last weekend that could have used a bit of help! [email protected] Love you!
My now husband and I took some pictures prior to getting engaged. I was so excited to get them back, but Lordy Pete I should have worn some shapewear. You could see every dimple and bump on my rear end. Not attractive at all. Needless to say, those pictures are nowhere in our house!
I wish I would have one wearing one to my senior prom. I had a corset on but in pictures you could see the outline of it. I was embarassed when I saw the pictures. Laurie McQuade at [email protected]
Ooooooh, I am going to buy some Jockey brand shapeware to try out for myself!
I’d say, oh about the first 5 months after my baby was born…but I didn’t find nursing friendly shape wear… jenniekate(at)hotmail(dot)com
I wish I had worn shapewear under a too-tight dress. I’ve put on a few extra pounds and they always seem to settle in my thighs. Hate that cellulite.
brett.gotler(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love to try these! I’ve tried other brands but hate how constricting they are. Seems like these are the perfect everyday solution!
I am still hanging on to my ‘baby weight’ 3.5 years after said baby has arrived…. so in order to fit in some of my post pregnancy clothes I need to cinch everything in (embarrassingly I weigh more now post baby than full-blown pregnant!)
This past weekend I was at a wedding and was wearing a chiffon-y shift dress with my “sausage casings” as I like to call my current shapewear, and the rough exterior of the suck-it-in shorts did not agree with the chiffon-ish material and the whole time my dress was riding up… it was a total “hey girl, your spanx are showing” moment. As long as I was still it was fine (who needs circulation anyway) but lifting my son and just plain ole walking made it difficult to keep my shorts from showing.
I am so excited to try out this Jockey stuff though!! Sounds super soft and I can’t wait to feel the blend!

Love shapewear and have been wanting to try a tank. Really could of used a tank shapewear in the dress I wore yesterday.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I wish I had worn shapewear and didn’t – I’m such a firm believer in it! However, I could really use some better stuff. The shorts I’ve been wearing I’ve had since I was in high school (so over 10 years)! 🙂
Oh my goodness!!! If I had a dollar for every type of shapewear I’ve tried, it usually ends up being to tight or rolling down. I would love to try the new jockey shapewear! Kate you look great as usual, I look forward to starting my day by reading your blog!!!!!!! [email protected]

A time I could have used some Shapewear is during my family photo shoot recently. My spare tire made quite an appearance.
I wish I had worn shapewear under a dress I wore to a wedding. It would have made for a smoother line. vegee4ever(at)comcast(dot)net)
I have several “shapers” of various brands and all are miserable to wear. I usually wear them when I wear dresses, just to avoid the “vpl” (visible panty line). But more often then not I end up taking them off at lunch time and not caring about vpl anymore!! They are designed to come up under the “girls” so to flatten from bust down, but before I even get out of the closet, its already rolling down my stomach. Less then flattering and by no means comfortable.

I’m a huge fan of shapewear. I never wear a skirt without wearing something underneath and I could really use some new pieces.
nettajean(at)gmail(dot)com
I could really use this when I wear my more fitted shirts. The belly lumps could use some help! I had a horrible experience with shape wear years ago when I was in a wedding–ouch! So, would love to try these. 🙂 Kelly

I was a bridesmaid in an outdoor wedding in August. I was wearing a chiffon dress that was sort of flowy and at the last minute I ditched the shapewear because it was so damn hot. I took one look at the pictures from that wedding and wondered why no one told me that the rear view was awful! Ugh, never again.
Love shapewear but it’s hard to find something comfortable. Would love to give Jockey a try. julievrba(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would love to try this and have a couple outfits that would definitely look better with some help from shapewear.
I would use shapewear the most with dresses/skirts. I used to have a pair similiar to the Tummy Shorts, but they were SO tight that they caused a bulge in my thighs–ugh! Not attractive and totally defeated the purpose of “smoothing”! Would love to try these! 🙂 Thanks!

I love shapewear and have 1 piece. it covers the tummy and thigh area, but it is so high up on my torso that it makes it a bit difficult to take off to use the restroom. You have to hike the dress all the way up to your armpits to pull the shapewear down. I’d love a tank top. amied83(at)gmail(dot)com
I’ve never tried it, but I have a couple of dresses that I don’t wear because they are a tad clingy and I can’t stand a panty line. I hope I’ll get to try those of these out; I too, have been scared of shape wear. It seems so matronly.
Your dress is beautiful!
Pretty much any time I’ve worn a jersey/cotton type dress! They show every little bulge and line!

I wish I had some for our engagement pictures! I didn’t notice until our photographer sent them to us that I had a very visible line around my waist from the tanktop I was wearing under the dress.

I would love to find functional- yet versatile- shapewear, that I can mix and match between every day dresses and formal dresses. For my husband’s work, we have several formals and more casual ceremonies that we attend… and it’d be great to find a piece that I can mix and match, instead of needing something new for each dress. I’m a curvy lady, and that makes it even worse to not get that sausage look- and still be comfortable while erasing those embarassing and nervous moments! jthompson0930(@)gmail(dot)com
I just had a baby in the middle of August, and the delivery and everything went great, and I felt pretty normal right away. Unfortunately, feeling normal does not equate to fitting into normal clothes. I would love something to help me feel a bit better about the post-baby chub.
All summer long I wish I had had some comfortable shape wear. I love wearing sun dresses but my legs rub and it hurts. I am still looking to find that perfect thing that makes dresses easier and is so very comfortable… sounds like Jockey may have the answer!

I would love a shapewear tank. my tanks always ride up under my shirt and i have quite a large chest so I often wear tanks under shirts to hold in the girls and to make them much more modest. Once I was wearing a wrap shirt and i didn’t realize how much it had “opened” up up top and i looked down and pretty much my entire bra was showing. EMBARASSING.
I wish I had shapewear for my clingy sweater dresses. Nobody needs to see all those, ahem, lumps.

I’ve never worn shapewear before, but after reading about your experience, I am anxious to try it out!
Our first family pictures after I had my daughter. I still cringe at some of those pictures!
Yesterday! I wore tights for the first time as there was a chill in the air, and I wore one of my favorite skirts with them. It’s chino-like material, and it bunched HORRIBLY. I teach college, so it definitely made me self conscious. Yikes.
I’ve had two babies… I need shapewear anytime I’m out in public to help smooth my “pouch”, lol!
Unfortunately, I need shape wear everyday. Mommy of three+saggy middle section = must have shape wear!!

I ware another brand when I am wearing a tight dress to help flatten my tummy and to remember to suck in and sand tall when walking. I find it rolls down (from my ribs to my waist)and leaves a thick roll visible through my dress. It’s awful as every time I stand up I have to roll it back up, which is awkward. did you find that with Jockey? I would love to find a shape wear that was comfortable and breathable!!
I basically wear shapewear everyday, sigh, but the shapewear I own is getting worn out and I would love some updated and upgraded pieces! sunflower877(at)msn(dot)com

There are too many incidents to name one after having my babies. Shapewear never came across my mind! I could so use this.
I have an off name brand tank top that I wore under a couple of shirts but it is so tight and rolls up so that half way throughout the day I have a roll of fabric in the middle of the shirt…the complete opposite of what I was hoping for…

I went to my cousin’s wedding a few weekends ago and wore a cute little black dress. Unfortunately, you could see underwear lines! areese10 (at) gmail (dot) com

I wish I would have been wearing shapewear at my wedding rehearsal! My maid of honor had to pull me aside to let me know that my polka-dot panties were showing through the white linen dress I had been wearing; I had to run home and change before the rehearsal dinner!!!
I wish I had been wearing shapewear with almost every dress I own before I bought something similar at Target which isn’t fabulous but does the trick for now.

Oh shapewear…my dear friend.
There is only one time where I truly wished with all my being that I had been wearing shapewear, and that was when I was in my friends wedding on a HOT August day. I didn’t need shapewear to cover any lines, or keep things in place, I just needed it for my legs, to keep them from chafing. raw. skin. I didn’t think it would be as bad but the next day anything that touched my legs burned and I learned my lesson. Shapewear is my friend.

When I look back at pictures from certain events, I definitely wish I was wearing Shapewear. Especially in the more form fitting dress. Who doesn’t need a little more shaping here and there? I know my thighs would appreciate it.
I should have wore shapewear when I attended a friend’s wedding this past summer 🙂

Last week I bought a new dress from Wal Mart that happens to be one of my new staples. The only downside to this otherwise amazing dress is that because I am long wasted, the waist line comes up higher than I would want. Unfortunately, it frames my stomach when I sit down, and I wish I had shapewear for it!

i wish i had shapewear for my graduation dress.
I wish I was wearing shape wear at all the weddings I went to this summer, I was always hot and sweaty which left my dress sticking to my butt and legs! Yuck! I will for sure buy those shorts for next summer!

I wish I had been wearing shapewear at my husband’s fancy work Christmas party. It’s a big corporate event and I had the chafing problem and a post baby belly problem. Oh how I wish I had shapewear.

2011 Valentine’s day party…after the pictures came out…I soo felt I had a shapewear on…:(

I had a tight dress once that you could totally see my panty lines through and no matter what kind I wore you could still see them. Definitely could’ve used some shapewear lol.
tarbear(dot)leavitt(at)gmail(dot)com
I have yet to try shapewear….perhaps it’s time! Those comfy jersey dresses just really need some help to hide all the goods underneath! And anything that would help to smooth the baby pooch would be good 🙂

I used to wear shapewear when I did events for roller derby, it was mainly tank tops. During games I would wear the shorts under my compression pants, but that was a big mistake….silky shorts under lycra was not pretty. This past summer I tried a body slimmer for a dress and it just made me look worse in a dress. I figured I’m just not meant for a body shaper.

I have never tried shapewear but I’m sure I should have many times in the past!

i pretty much need it all the time since having my baby!!

A agree with other posters. Since having a baby things spill over where they didn’t before. I’ve been searching for some shape wear to help smooth things out!
Never tried shapewear, but I think this sounds like a great idea…Jockey is a trusted brand, and I think it would finish off my outfits very nicely.

I had a black, silk top for presentation at work. I have also had the problem of silk tops riding up when I where a tank underneath, and because I didn’t want that to happen during this important meeting I left the undertank out. Everything looked fine at my house, but under the brigher office lights my top was see-through! Fail!
I would love to try shapewear that solves all these issues.

I haven’t tried shapewear yet. I do have a lovely bamboo dress that I’d love to wear, but it isn’t very forgiving. I think shapewear may be the key.

I wish I would have had some shapewear on when I was wearing this clingy dress which I actually tucked into my undies and didn’t know it. Oops!!!!

I love shapewear! A time I wish I was wearing it? The last time I had pictures taken. You don’t realize you need it until it is on film!

I wish I had shapewear at an outside wedding I went to during the HOT month of June! I was wearing thigh-slimmer shorts made out of the material control top panty hose is made out of and with it being so hot, I was sweating and they kept rolling up and sticking and it was not comfortable at all. I felt so self-conscious. :o( Guys just do not understand what us girls go through!!!

I so wish I would have had some for my 10 year reunion a few years ago! I look back on those pics after having 2 kids and cringe! I’ve had another baby since then and am down a lot more weight but you still always have that roll around the waist!

I purchased some shapewear for my tummy this past summer. I wore it under a navy dress at a wedding I was attending. Multiple times through the night I had to go into the bathroom and readjust it because it kept digging into me. I have to admit though, I really like how I looked in the pictures we took…It was painful but I didn’t have any bulges in the pictures.

I have a few dresses that could definitely use some shapewear, and I’d love to own a sweater dress, but there is always an area or two when I try one on that could use some shaping!
annacatherine.cowley(at)gmail(dot)com
OMG! Love this! I’m totally trying out that tank top! Every time I see an unflattering picture, I kick myself for not wearing spanx!!
i should have worn shapewear to my prom!
I haven’t tried shapewear before but would love to try Rachel Zoe line. During the office christmas party, hadn’t realized the dress was quite that fitted. I was just very uncomfortable and self conscious and didn’t end up having as much fun as I could have.

My second entry via twitter. 🙂
I wish I had during the first wedding I ever stood up in. Lesson learned!

I really wish I had worn shapewear during my brother’s wedding. Now there are pictures EVERYWHERE and I cringe every time I see one.

I love that you’ve found us a good tank because I really trust your opinion! I need shape wear every time I grocery shop. Seriously! I have a long torso, so it’s hard to get stuff from top shelves without showing some skin. And then there’s the problem with the back side if I get things from the bottom shelf. So a nice, LONG, smoothing tank could really change my life… or at least my cooking. 🙂
THANKS FOR THE CHANCE!
My daughter graduated from college last year. I bought my dress several months ahead so as not to have to worry at the last minute. Guess I gained a few pounds in the months prior, and I was so uncomfortable, and felt really embarrassed at the ceremony, I couldn’t really enjoy myself. Last time that will happen!

Ugh! Would have loved to have been wearing shapewear at the wedding I went to a couple weeks ago…the pictures would have turned out much better!
My friend’s wedding. Nothing like having half your undergarmets sticking out for all to see. Lovely.

When have I NOT needed something like that is a better question?! These love handles/tummy just won’t go away but since I was pregnant I can’t stand tight/confining clothing. I hope these work bc i’m honestly ready to run right out and buy them all!

I was in a wedding earlier this year with a very unflattering dress… lets just say it gave more away about my curves than I cared to admit. Thanks for the giveaway!
Anytime I wear something that’s a jersey fabric, I think shape wear is necessary! Also, bridesmaid dresses are usually begging for shape wear underneath!
I wish I had one all the time! I’m sure it would be my go to piece for all events I go to. Everything would look so much more flattering! Especially when I had to get my picture taken for our local magazine!
Shapewear for when I’ve worn pencil skirts would’ve been amazing!
I wish I was wearing it on my wedding day rather than having to layer a slip under my already heavy dress.

I just might have to check this out. Sounds much more comfortable than spans!
I wish I would have had some shapewear after baby #2, and in most dresses where creating a smooth, no-line appearance is hard to do!
I have a chiffon shirt that needs a tank underneath it but my normal tank tops totally ride up!! Shapewear would be phenomenal =)
[email protected]
I wear a cotton tank under almost everything – I’ve never considered that a shape wear product would be more comfortable. I may need to check out my options!
I should be wearing it all the time, but I wish I never needed it! Curious to see how comfy this actually is.
[email protected]
I do wear it occasionally but really wished I had something one when I realized I was walking back down the hallway to my office with my dress tucked into my tights. Ugh…
I pretty much need it daily these days after having my 2nd baby 3 months ago!
I prefer a shapewear bottom to a slip because a slip can ride up or down! But I’ve never found comfortable shapewear, so I’m forced to wear a slip that I’ve cut excess length off under many of my flowy skirts and dresses. Would love to try this Jockey brand!

I fondly refer to my shapewear as my gut sucker and if I take the time to get ready for something, I take the time to wear my gut sucker. I can’t imagine not having something to help smooth everything out! Love it!
I wish I was wearing shape wear when my panty line shows…hate that!
