Party Season Shapewear Essentials

We've all been there - over indulged during Christmas and then suddenly panicked at the thought of party season when that perfectly fitted New Year's dress you had saved might not be so perfect anymore!  

Fret not that's what shape wear was invented for. Designed with high-tech fabrics and there to save the day when you need a little boost we have a wide range of different styles to shape, lift and contour your body.  

Bodies

The main purpose of a body is to help sculpt and support your body. Most bodies are designed with boning or a support panel which helps to shape and support your tummy area. They also help to create a beautiful hourglass silhouette which is perfect if you have a tight-fitting dress and want to show off your killer curves.  

Bodies are perfect for wearing under almost any outfit from dresses, to tops and shirts to shorts and skirts so they are very versatile and perfect to invest in. Our top three choices are the Panache Envy Body, Charnos Superfit and the Prima Donna Couture. All great choices to rock this party season at a range of budgets to suit you.
