We all love our curves, but of course, there are those occasions where we want to wear a tight dress with thin material or something a little more daring, and start to think about shapewear to smooth and enhance our curves. There’s nothing wrong with enlisting a little bit of help from some good shapewear for plus size ladies, and the best plus size shapewear makes us feel powerful and ready to take on the world!
However, finding a range of good shapewear for plus size women is almost impossible – as I’m sure you know since you’re here! – and you can spend hours scouring the internet for anything that’s worth your time and money. Fortunately, Nicolette Shapewear have you covered (literally)!
Here’s a guide to finding the best plus size shapewear for voluptuous, confident women:
First, know your measurements
Carefully take the measurements of your waist, hips, and bust if necessary. If you can, get a friend or your partner to do it for you so you can stand up straight – but naturally – and get accurate measurements. Keep them on hand as you look for the best plus size shapewear for you and check the sizing guide before you buy.
If you are in-between sizes, size up unless there is extra information or reviews telling you that the sizing comes up a little big. Even when you buy good shapewear for plus size women, sizing down often creates extra lumps and bumps where you don’t have them naturally, because it is too tight.
Remember that your curves are beautiful, so don’t try and minimize them completely by buying something far too small as that often backfires!
Next, think about your body shape and what you want to enhance
Are you an hourglass, apple, pear, rectangle? You’ll find all kinds of names for your shape, but you’ll know where your body stores it’s little bit extra and where you’d like a little more support. For example, if your hips are your biggest point, you don’t want shapewear that cuts you awkwardly at that point in case it creates an unnatural bump. Choose shapewear that will smooth what you’ve got and won’t work against your body elsewhere. The best plus size shapewear (as you’ll find below) takes the needs of plus-sized women into account, so don’t settle for something that hasn’t been designed with you in mind.
Decide how much support you want
If you’re going to an event where you’re going to an event like a wedding where you’ll be sitting for long periods, eating, and dancing, you’ll likely be uncomfortable if you choose a super-high level of compression.
However, if you’re going to an event where you’ll see people you’ve not seen in ten years, you may be willing to take being a little uncomfortable to know that you’re looking your absolute best at all times – it really is up to you and what you are buying your shapewear for.
